Little Bank Cottage

Little Bank Cottage is a detached stone building in Richards Castle, a historic village in the Herefordshire-Shropshire border country. The cottage sits on a single level with a living and dining room warmed by a wood burner, a kitchen with electric cooker and microwave, a shower room, and upstairs a double bedroom with its own ensuite. Two bathrooms means guests need not queue; heating and wi-fi are included, as are bed linen and towels. The cottage comes with one parking space and a private enclosed garden with seating.

Ludlow is four miles away, a market town known for food and independent shops, and the Mortimer Trail long-distance path starts there. The 13th-century Ludlow Castle and surrounding countryside offer plenty of scope for walking and exploring. National Trust properties including Berrington Hall and Croft Castle are within easy reach. Smoking is not permitted in the property. The cottage suits two people seeking a quiet base from which to visit the Welsh borders and central England.
