Retreat to a recently refurbished, half-timbered Tudor-style hotel in the heart of Ludlow’s scenic townscape, with award-winning dining and a historic ambience - includes breakfast, dinner credit, and an optional suite
  • Market town mirth: Situated in the bustling heart of Ludlow’s pretty market town centre, The Feathers Hotel has been soaking up its surrounding local history for centuries. With its charming half-timbered roof, striking Tudor façade and central location near Ludlow’s many cosy pubs, shops and restaurants, it’s almost impossible to miss such a handsome and perfectly-situated building.

  • History-meets-modern comforts: With its original studded plank front door, Jacobean dining interior and charming oak panel features, this gloriously character-filled building is certainly not short on historic charm. However, the hotel continues to seamlessly blend its unique original features with a sense of contemporary elegance and comfort. Take the opportunity to relax in luxuriously soft beds, enjoy modern amenities and linger in the warmth of each guestroom’s spa-inspired rain showers.

  • Acclaimed dining: With an AA Rosette award for culinary excellence, you’ll be dining well at The Feathers Hotel. Sample locally-sourced, seasonal produce within the elegant interiors of Plume@Feathers, the fine-dining restaurant, or savour classic favourites in the more informal setting of the Lounge Bar. For a real treat, delight in moreish afternoon teas in The Feathers Tea Room. If you feel the urge for an after-dinner tipple, the well-stocked Lounge Bar also offers a menu of handcrafted cocktails.

Location and what's nearby

25 Bull Ring, Ludlow SY8 1AA

Ludlow is a thriving market town set within the glorious Shropshire countryside. The Feathers Hotel is perfectly situated just a seven-minute walk from the town centre, which is brimming with beautiful period buildings, historic churches, bustling market stalls, old English pubs, and the 11th century clifftop setting of Ludlow Castle - which has views extending out over the winding River Teme and the Shropshire countryside beyond. Just outside of this historic town, you can also enjoy some peace and quiet amid a beautiful woodland setting, as Whitcliffe Common Nature Reserve acts as a haven for local wildlife and nature lovers alike.

If you’re venturing just a little further afield, The Shropshire Hills is an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and is only a 20-minute journey via car from the hotel. With its sweeping valleys and breathtaking panoramic views, there’s much to take in either by bike or on foot.
