Set in the historic village of Richards Castle within the picturesque Shropshire countryside, offering guests plenty of opportunities for walks and sightseeing.
In the 16th century, the cottage started its life as a simple timber, wattle and daub, thatched property, with a hole in the roof acting as a chimney. Families would sleep in the upper space, using a makeshift ladder, whilst animals would sleep downstairs. During the 17th century, a staircase would have been made, to give better access to the upper floor. The cottage was extended in the 18th century, when a bread oven was installed in the inglenook fireplace. This is what gave the cottage its name Batchcott (bread supplied/cottage). In the 1930s the cottage was further extended to become a ‘proper’ house. It was then modernised in 1978 as a granny annexe.
The town of Ludlow lies in the shadow of the 13th-century Ludlow Castle which regularly holds events and is a must day out for guests stopping at the property. The town itself also boasts an array of shops, bars and restaurants for guests to enjoy.
Ludlow is at the start of the Mortimer Trail, a long-distance path to Kington on the Herefordshire/Wales border and boasts stunning views throughout. There are also breathtaking walks and views nearby, out from the Clee Hill.
After a day sightseeing and enjoying all that Shropshire has to offer, why not sit out in the private gardens at the property, with a glass of wine, and enjoy the peace and tranquillity that the location offers? The Cottage boasts a large rear garden with small terrace, lawn and summerhouse, and bird watchers will delight in the number of species visiting the garden. Shop 2 miles, pub and restaurant 2½ miles.

There are open, steep, spiral or narrow stairs at the property.
No children under 12 years old.
There are low ceilings, doors and/or beams within the property.

Gorgeous garden!
We loved the cottage! First impressions are that it is immaculately clean EVERYWHERE, The views from every window are of the fabulous, colourful garden out to the beautiful countryside and hills in the distance. Very private and super to have your own summerhouse on the lawn. The cottage is well furnished and has everything you could need. Lovely comfy bed too with high quality sheets, pillows and the towels are super. Chris and Richard are the perfect hosts and really understand what it takes to provide their guests with a super holiday. Hope to return to the cottage next time we are in England.
