This is the second time we have stayed at The Larches. Lovely property and the owners are so thoughtful. Lots of wildlife surrounding the house, including 18 different types of birds that we saw, and heard. If you are looking for a relaxing property within 5 miles of Ludlow, this is the place for you.

A wonderful cottage with 360 degree views of the countryside.Very peaceful and the hosts were welcoming and helpful.We were lucky to witness some lovely sunsets during our stay.Cottage is spacious and very comfortable with an enclosed garden and ample parking. A short, 3 mile drive and you can be in Ludlow.
