About this property

Beautiful and Quiet Rural hideaway for two near Ludlow with stunning views

‘Huggins’ is a 18th Century Miners Cottage with lovely views within the Shropshire Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Adjacent to our own cottage it is completely private with own drive, parking, and garden with breathtaking views towards the Malvern Hills.

Just through the front door, there is a small area for boots and coats, and to the right is a breakfast room. The door to the left takes you through into the snug. Complete with low beams, comfy chairs, a TV and log burning stove for those cooler evenings.
The kitchen is small and with more low beams but equipped with everything you require for a self-catering breakaway.
The stairs lead directly up onto a small landing. To the right is a large bathroom and to the left the bedroom with double opening windows for an uninterpreted view.
The cottage is sympathetically decorated in neutral colours and with a style to complement the area. We do have hares who live in the woods to the right and can sometimes be seen in the field to the front as well as rabbits, owl, woodpeckers, and deer (fallow, roe and muntjac). You may be lucky enough to see badgers in the garden at night.
Outside, there is a raised seating area ensuring you can make the best of the views. There is also a shed which you can use for bikes if you wish (please ask for the key).
This beautiful cottage is real rural living, with the amenities of the gorgeous old town of Ludlow 4 miles away with it’s historic castle with links to the Plantagenets and Tudors, The Food Festival (on twice a year) is Britain’s oldest, fabulous independent shops and a regular local market. Tenbury Wells is 6 miles away and has an Art Deco theatre offering small productions and screenings.

A walker's paradise and directly on miles of footpaths you don't have to go far to explore and lose yourself in nature. If you do enjoy days out we are situated part-way up Titterstone Clee Hill and only a few minutes walk from the Shropshire Way, The Long Mynd and Cardingmill Valley is 25 minutes drive, The Stiperstones and Offa’s Dyke is a little further on.
We are also well covered by National Trust and English Heritage properties nearby. The fabulous Ironbridge Gorge Museum with the Blists Hill Victorian Village, RAF Cosford Air Museum are under an hour away.

Warm welcome, excellent cottage, beautiful setting
Huggins Cottage is one of the loveliest places we've stayed, and by far the best cared for. We were made to feel welcome every step of the way, from booking to leaving. Very thoughtfully equipped kitchen, and house generally, with very comfortable beds. Bookshelves included a wealth of information about the area. Matthew and Laura, as well as being welcoming, were informative and helpful about what to see locally. It is a stunning area, many beautiful walks. For instance, up to Lee Hill is a great day's walk from the cottage, or down to the wonderful pub at Bennetts End is a nice evening stroll. (Thanks for including a torch, it was certainly needed on those dark lanes!) Amazing views from the upper rooms and the garden towards the Malverns across the valley.

A lovely small cottage
A very nice small cottage, spotlessly clean. Lovely quiet location, with a great view, and convenient for Ludlow and Clee Hill. Good pub food only 10 mins walk. Very warm and friendly welcome from the hosts - thanks very much for the eggs!

Wonderful stay
Warmly greeted by Laura & Matthew who made us feel very welcome. The cottage was exactly as described. It was charming and spotlessly clean. The views from the garden are fantastic. A peaceful location and comfortable cottage. Would definitely return. Roy & Karen

Cosy cottage near Ludlow
The property is small, but maintained and presented beautifully. The owners are extremely welcoming, and knowledgeable about the area. It was lovely to see wildlife on the lawn so close to the cottage.

About the host

Hosted by Matthew and Laura

Host profile image
Spring Cottages is our home and we love it here.
Matthew now works from home and Laura is retired so are usually around if you have any questions or want ideas for days out. We keep chickens who are prone to wandering and have a very friendly cream cat called Luna - please do not let her in however much she asks! We also keep bees and in the future would like pigs in the woods.

Why they chose this property

We fell in love with this area after coming here on holiday for many years and eventually turned the gazing in Estate Agents windows into reality. We have never looked back. It is easy to love it here, the pace of life is relaxed, the people are genuinely friendly and helpful and the scenary is devine.

What makes this property unique

You are surrounded by the most beautiful countryside and yet not cut off.
The local beer and cider is amazing - visit one of the breweries if you can.
Ludlow is famous for the 'food mile revolution'. It has regular farmers markets and the town is crammed full of independent traders. It is a foodies paradise
The birds and wildlife are amazing, we have hares in the field and badgers in the garden, I am afraid their gardening skills leave a lot to be desired!
