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 Little Gem
Set high in the Shropshire Hills Huggins Cottage enjoys spectacular views from its bedroom and all around it. Matthew and Laura are excellent hosts who obviously love where they live and want to share it with their guests. They provide heaps of information about local attractions and eateries and their enthusiasm is infectious. The cottage is small but cosy, skilfully renovated to a very high standard, tastefully decorated and well-equipped. The bathroom is especially impressive. We would return there in a heartbeat.

Wonderful Huggins Cottage
A warm welcome greeted us on arrival from Matthew and Laura. A lovely touch with the personalised welcome in the kitchen along with the goodies that were left for us. The cottage is finished to a high standard with a lovely garden and views. Great selection of information packs for walks, towns and castles to visit etc. Spoilt for choice in the beautiful Shropshire countryside. A wonderful cottage to stay in, highly recommend.

Outstanding, Amazing, Beautiful!
We stayed here for a week at the end of August to soften the blow of going back to work after six weeks off… my goodness, it did not disappoint! From the moment we arrived, Matthew and Laura made us feel so welcome. It was lovely to be greeted and then to be left to explore the cottage and garden, but it was also great to know that our hosts were there if we needed them. The cottage has so much character and was absolutely immaculate. It had everything we needed to make the time we spent there easy and enjoyable. The goodies that were left for us, were of a high quality- the best we’ve ever had. The Prosecco was very much enjoyed and the eggs, laid by the resident chickens, were fabulous! The walk in shower was amazing after a long day out walking and it was wonderful to warm our toes in front of the log burner. Where do we start with the surrounding area… the views from the bedroom window and garden are absolutely stunning! We could have sat in the garden all day just looking out at the rolling countryside… it really is an AONB! We loved being able to walk straight from the cottage and were always out for hours. Clee Hill is definitely worth walking, the views are panoramic and spectacular. On the evenings when we fancied a short walk with a pub stop, we headed for the Bennett’s End Inn. It has a quiet beer garden with lovely views. We also walked through the fields to Clee Hill Fish and Chip Shop and found the food to be delicious! Nearby Ludlow is a gorgeous town and we visited twice. There are lots of bars and restaurants and we enjoyed a meal in the Charlton Arms overlooking the river one night. Ludlow Is steeped in history; a visit to the castle is a must, if like us, you love British history. We would also recommend a visit to Croft Castle, Berrington Hall and Stokesay Castle (our favourite). We found there was so much to see and do here and to be able to come back to spend the evening in such a gorgeous cottage, was splendid. As night fell, we saw various wildlife, including rabbits and owls. By day we enjoyed watching kites and buzzards flying overhead… we always enjoyed a visit from the chickens too! It’s a nature lover’s paradise and we can’t wait to return. Thank you so much Matthew and Laura!

Great cottage to visit south Shropshire. Everything was as described. We were welcomed by the owners, who lived next door. Plenty of information was available about the area in the cottage. Lots of National Trust and English Heritage properties in the area to visit.
