Spacious holiday farmhouse near Ludlow sleeping 10 with a hot tub, on a working farm and perfect for family getaways and walking weekends
Holiday Rental for Groups of Families and Friends. Lower Wood Farmhouse, Ludlow, Clee Hills, Shropshire, sleeps 5 - 10 in 5 bedrooms.
Lower Wood Farmhouse gives a group something most large rentals can't: a genuine working farm, reached down its own half-mile drive, with no one else around. The nearest neighbour is the gatehouse back at the road so, once you arrive, the house, gardens and grounds are entirely yours. It is the sort of place where three generations can holiday together, where old friends can reunite without tripping over one another, and where a milestone birthday or anniversary can be marked in real privacy.
The house sleeps 10 guests across five bedrooms, with two further sofa beds downstairs for younger ones. The heart of the house is a big open-plan kitchen built around a blue Aga, with a dining table long enough to seat everyone at once and a deep corner sofa for the lulls in between. The kitchen opens onto the terrace. There is a quieter sitting room at the front of the house with an original brick inglenook fire, and a children's playroom with a racing simulator, art corner and play kitchen, so the young ones have somewhere of their own and the adults get a little peace.
What keeps a group together here is the grounds. A private pedal-kart track winds through the lawns with four karts to race, a hot tub is set to catch the sunset over Clee Hill, and a wood-fired pizza oven and barbecue anchor the terrace for long, unhurried evenings. And then there is the farm: children can gather the morning eggs, feed the ducks and pick from the allotment, while Sam, who farms the land, takes the group on a guided tour of the working cattle farm behind the house. For riders there are five stables and a two-acre paddock, with bridleways from the gate.
Ludlow, 8 minutes away, is one of Britain's great food towns, with independent butchers and bakers, the renowned Ludlow Food Centre and excellent country pubs nearby. Beyond the gate lie the Shropshire Hills and miles of footpaths. It is real countryside rather than a manicured resort, with enough on the doorstep that your group need never get in the car.
