The Graig

The Graig is a gorgeous B&B with five elegant rooms, just outside the medieval town of Ludlow. Situated on the edge of the Shropshire Hills Area of Outstanding Beauty, it commands stunning panoramic views over the surrounding area from its elevated position and is ideally located for exploring both town and countryside. The bedrooms are individually designed and all boast luxurious touches that you'd expect to find in a smart hotel - super comfy matresses, thick fluffy towels, Egyptian cotton linens and en suite walk-in shower/wet rooms. Breakfast is a hearty affair and dishes are prepared with ingredients sourced as locally as possible. The owners will also sort out a packed lunch for you (as long as you let them know the night before). Relax in the garden or sitting room after a day out exploring, then head in to Ludlow and sample one of the restaurants for which the town has become so famous. A stylish stay for foodies or outdoor lovers, or anyone looking for a spoiling country getaway.
