A secret nook for the lovers of calming interiors and cosy corners, our heavenly hideaway for two is the perfect spot to flee the everyday for a romantic escape. Greeting guests with a charming stone and wood-clad façade, the warmest of welcomes await at Anouk, where a modern-rustic style and neutral hues blend to curate an inviting oasis of calm. Pairing timeless interior design with eye-catching architectural features, restful retreat moments reside at our dreamy homestay. Embrace all things cosy during cooler months beside the striking wood burning stove, or savour sun-soaked moments on the patio in the summer season; discover a year-round getaway made for slowing down in luxurious style. Anouk’s lovely owners live handily next door – but don’t worry, the retreat is completely private. Settled in the delightful town of Ludlow close to the River Teme and a five-minute stroll from the market square, a plethora of beauty spots and historic sites await discovery, alongside lovely boutique stores, quaint cafés and wonderful eateries to explore.
Step inside our divine dwelling into an elegant entrance, leading to the stunning open plan living space where vaulted ceilings and handsome beams form a light, spacious design offering both luxury and comfort. From the considered palette of soft tones, to carefully curated artwork and abstract artefacts adorning this calming space, Anouk is undeniably an aesthetic dream. Settle on the comfy leather couch for film nights with the Smart TV, or simply cosy up together to savour the mesmeric flames of the contemporary wood burning stove. You’ll also find an internet radio with Bluetooth speaker to select the perfect soundtrack for your staycation moments.
At the opposite end of this beautiful space lies the stylish kitchen, divided from the living area by a stone island with unique breakfast bar feature. Promising a sleek design with gorgeous accents, the kitchen is fully equipped with everything you need to craft delectable dishes. With the opulent addition of wine cooler for those pre-dinner tipples, and the all-important Nespresso Vertuo for slow morning coffees – life’s little luxuries reside here. In addition, a washer-dryer can be found in the kitchen for use during your stay.
Elegant bifold doors open from the kitchen space, leading out onto the idyllic courtyard garden where a table and chairs rest. On warmer days, open the doors to welcome the outside in whilst creating culinary delights, later retiring to the patio for a glass of wine as dusky skies draw in.
With soothing neutral and blush tones, the heavenly bedroom which opens out into the beautiful courtyard garden through bi-fold doors, is just made for savouring lingering lie-ins. The king-sized bed with a soft grey headboard is swathed in luxurious linens, cloud soft bedding, and charming printed cushions. You will also find two elegantly detailed bedside tables, an occasional chair, and a fitted triple wardrobe offering plenty of storage for your stay.
The equally lovely en suite with neutral interiors and aged brass finishes, comes with a large walk-in shower for rejuvenating wake up moments and a heated rail to keep towels warm and fluffy.

"🏰✨ Dive into the heart of Shrewsbury`s Castle Quarter – the epicenter of history and grandeur! 🏰 Home to four of the town`s largest historic treasures – Shrewsbury Castle, Library, Prison, and Train Station.
Did you know Shrewsbury Castle`s foundations were laid in 1083 by the 1st Earl of Shrewsbury, Roger de Montgomery?
Montgomery, a cousin of William the Conqueror, earned this castle and more as a thank-you for his aid during the Norman conquest.
From royal stronghold to a 16th-century transformation, Shrewsbury Castle has quite the story. Now, it stands majestically, housing the Shropshire Regimental Museum. 👑🏰 Ready to step into the pages of history?

Embark on an extraordinary half-term adventure at the enchanting Hawkstone Park Follies! 🌲✨
This hidden gem invites you to explore a sprawling landscape filled with magical surprises. Hawskstone Park Follies are offering 50% off general admission from February 9th to 18th, making it the perfect opportunity to uncover the mysteries that await.
Set in 100 acres of Parkland The Follies is a range of dramatic and rugged natural sandstone hills that were developed to include gullies, caves, towers and bridges, becoming one of the most visited landscapes in Britain during the 19th Century. However, throughout the 20th Century this romantic landscape became forgotten, overgrown and ruinous, unvisited by all but the locals.
Now recognised as a Masterpiece of the School of Naturalistic Landscape and designated as a Grade I listed landscape by English Heritage, this magical and exhilarating landscape had a new lease of life with a multi-million pound restoration project enabling it to reopen to visitors in 1993. Overgrown but never fully forgotten, pathways were cleared, gullies reopened and handrails reinstalled to allow visitors to enjoy the spectacular views and surprises that The Follies reveals around every corner.
Friends of the Follies can also enjoy special annual pass upgrade offers available at the gate, ensuring that the magic doesn`t end after one visit!
