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 and polecats 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.

We had a fantastic week at Huggins Cottage. Very cosy and warm, especially with the wood burning stove! The cottage is maintained to a very high standard with everything you need and Matthew and Laura were very welcoming. Very peaceful location and lovely views from the cottage and plenty of local attractions within a short drive.
Comfortable and well equipped and a good size for 2. We loved the cottage.There was plenty of information in the cottage about the local area and things to do. Some thoughtful treats provided too. You felt nothing would be toouxh trouble of we had any queries - we didn't!
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.
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!
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.

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.
Matthew and Laura were magical so helpful nothing too much trouble if your looking to chill out this is the place with regular visits from Rabbits Squirrels etc
A really lovely quiet stay where birdsong and the occasional chicken or sheep are the only noises you will hear. If you want to get away from it all for a few days yet be well positioned to explore Ludlow and the local area then this is the place for you. A car is a must to get around but there are some nice walks right from the doorstep.The property is well equipped, has everything needed for a perfect stay and is spotlessly clean. There is also a private grass garden with seating. Would not hesitate to stay again if in the area. I would recommend walking Long Mynd from Church Stretton which is a 30 min drive away but well worth it. Clee Hill is nearby and there are wonderful views to enjoy. Also do check opening times and book ahead for local pubs/restaurants for evening meals.
Huggins cottage was the perfect getaway to celebrate our 4 year anniversary as a couple. Our hosts made the cottage feel like a home from home, we didn’t want to leave! We will definitely be staying here in the future and I have been recommending this stay to my family and friends.
Everything is perfect about this cottage. Excellent value too. The hosts we so helpful, but never intrusive. We are looking forward to returning in the future
Lovely clean and cozy cottage in a rural location. Very welcoming and helpful hosts with a quality food and wine hamper on arrival. Great base for exploring the countryside and experiencing the tranquility of rural Shropshire.
Very happy for the six weeks as we were here a long time would of preferred a comfortable sofa to sit on , as found the little chairs a bit uncomfortable and not really high enough at the back for your head, apart from that was perfect .
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.
If you are looking for a stay that is peaceful and quiet with lovely views then this cottage is for you. Cottage is beautiful with everything you need and more. The hosts Matthew and Laura will give you a warm welcome and are always available if you need them.
Our stay at Huggins was everything we hoped it would be. Perfect location close to the lovely town of Ludlow with fantastic views of the Shropshire countryside. Matthew and Laura were the perfect hosts and the welcome pack was very thoughtful and a lovely surprise. We hope to have the opportunity to visit again sometime in the future

Peaceful, quiet property, with beautiful views of the countryside
Well appointed, tidy, with great and helpful hosts. Easy to travel into Birmingham by train, after some helpful advice from our hosts.
Great National Trust and English Heritage properties in the region, along with the normal charming UK villages.

Pretty little cottage, nicely decorated and well set out. Very friendly but not intrusive owners live next door. Very tall people might struggle with some of the ceiling heights.
