Ludlow, located in the Heart of England, is home to a stylish and elegant converted barn that accommodates up to 12 guests. This remarkable property serves as an ideal base for exploring the picturesque Shropshire Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and the vibrant town of Ludlow, known for its rich history and nearly five hundred listed buildings.

The barn’s location in the South Shropshire countryside offers a serene retreat for friends and families to relax and unwind.
The barn features a striking interior that is perfect for social gatherings at any time of year. With its clever division into two halves, the layout promotes both lively celebrations and private moments.

Upstairs, guests will find a master bedroom with an en suite bathroom, another super king size room, and a children's bunk bedroom with an additional single bed. The second half of the barn also features an open-plan lounge/diner/kitchen area with a wood burner and two additional bedrooms, both of which can be configured as twin rooms if desired. Each section of the barn ensures ample space for relaxation and privacy.
Outside, the barn offers a large undercover outdoor kitchen area complete with a fire pit and BBQ, ideal for enjoying the stunning views during warm summer evenings.
