Ludlow is a beautiful market town surrounded by Georgian half-timbered buildings. Famous for its culinary excellence, Short Breaks in Ludlow is ideal location to experience the food capital of Shropshire, Ludlow once boasted more Michelin starred restaurants than any other town across the country. There has been a market running in the town for over 700 years, the farmers market is held monthly with other unique markets including a flea market every other Sunday throughout Spring, Summer and Autumn.
Ludlow’s Farm Shop is renowned across the country and boasts a unique food shopping experience providing the finest selection of Shropshire food. Ludlow also boasts a racecourse which holds multiple meets per year as well as an 18-hole golf course.
Shropshire County Hotels and Inn’s provide the best Shropshire experience, no matter where you plan to visit. Our Ludlow-based Hotels, the Old Downton Lodge and Fishmore Hall are the leading hotels in Ludlow and offer luxurious stays. The Old Downton Lodge is a traditional country lodge with a 5 star AA restaurant packed with exceptional food and wine it is the perfect escape chalet designed to provide a tranquil atmosphere. Fishmore Hall is a 15 bed hotel with both fine dining and bistro restaurants and a small rural spa with treatment rooms, sauna, steam room and outdoor hot tub.
One of Ludlow’s greatest qualities is its ample range of individualistic shops, most of which are family owned businesses selling food, clothing, delicatessens, antiques, art, books and many other specialist products. Ludlow’s combination of both independent vintage shops and national retailers make it the perfect leisurely day out. As with all towns located in Shropshire, Ludlow is a picturesque town, and is best explored on foot. Enjoy a summer walk around the castle or down by the river at Dinham Bridge or Ludford Bridge.
Short Breaks in Ludlow ensure you do not miss out on Ludlow’s range of festivals near the castle, fairs and carnivals. These include The Spring Festival, Ludlow’s famous Food and Drink Festival and the Medieval Christmas Fayre. Stay at the Old Downton Lodge, Fishmore Hall or surrounding Shropshire County Hotels and Inns to secure your perfect night and enjoy all that the Ludlow festival has to offer.

#Repost @thecastlehotelbishopscastle ・・・ Visit Shropshire and support local businesses ❤ As many of you may have seen Shropshire has been in the headlines the last few weeks due to unprecedented flooding. Shrewsbury town centre, Ludlow and Ironbridge have all been affected along with rural parts of the county. Water levels are now going down and many businesses have begun the big clean up operation. Fortunately Bishops Castle is situated on high ground surrounded by the beautiful rolling hills therefore we have been unaffected by the floods but our heart goes out to all our friends and local businesses that have been. So as a result we would like to try and support these businesses get back on their feet by making an effort to increase tourism in the area. That's why were offering our biggest spring sale ever! Book a midweek stay from 1st March until 19th March and receive a massive 55% off our standard rates. Shropshire has so much to offer from exceptional walks to small independent shops selling everything from a nice hot coffee to hand crafted art. So give us a call to book your stay, you'll not only be supporting us but helping Shropshire recover 🌏 ...
