Property of the day
Angel House
The beguiling Shropshire and Herefordshire countryside, lovely walks, National Trust properties, the market towns of Ludlow, Leominster, Tenbury Wells and Bridgenorth, the closeness of the cathedral cities of Hereford, Shrewsbury and Worcester, plus a host of other attractions results in a combination that's difficult to beat.
Set in an area of outstanding natural beauty, on the slopes of Clee Hill, Angel House offers a perfect rural retreat whilst only being a few miles outside the busy market town of Ludlow. Angel House is a place to pause, relax and recharge. It’s a treat for you which commences on your arrival with a (complimentary) pot of tea or coffee and biscuits or cake (often home cooked). Drink in the views from the sunroom, warm yourself on our patio in the summer months, or in front of the wood burning stove in winter and plan your stay with our local guidebooks, or pick a novel or magazine from our library and just unwind!
We (Jenny & Nick), not to mention Maddi the cat, want you to enjoy your stay and help make it as memorable as possible. As we only have two rooms with a capacity for just six guests, we have time to meet your needs and make you feel at home in our home. We understand that every guest has unique likes and dislikes. So just ask, if we can, we will!
Both our guest rooms are large and well furnished with comfortable beds and modern en-suite facilities. Breakfast can be as hearty or healthy as you like with full English, a choice of cereal, fruit salads, yogurts and toast with as much tea, coffee and fruit juices as you desire. We try and cater for all, so being vegetarian or lactose or milk intolerant, for example, means you don’t miss out! We like our guests to return again and again and we know that by blending the luxury and comfort of a good hotel with the warm, friendly and personal atmosphere of a loved home, they do.
We promise you a warm welcome to our lovely home, set in a delightful location. So whether you would like a restful break; a walking holiday; a base to explore the delights of Shropshire or Herefordshire; a visit to Ludlow, described by Betjeman as “The most perfect town in England”; or simply a comfortable haven during a business trip or en-route to other lovely areas of England and Wales - Angel House is just the place for you.

See the real "Victorian Farm" - visit Acton Scott Working Farm
The highly successful BBC 2 ‘Victorian Farm’ series was filmed within easy reach of all our members, at and around the popular Acton Scott Historic Working Farm and many of the locations can be seen from a visit. This is a favourite attraction for visitors to South Shropshire and all our members are delighted to be able to offer entry concessions for guests during this year.
The Victorian Farm TV series saw the restoration of a derelict building on the estate into an authentic 19th century farm labourer's house. The programme followed the labourers living life with no 'mod cons' and farming without tractors and using only traditional skills and implements. A visit to Acton Scott is always full of interest and visitors can view practical demonstrations of our farming heritage.
Acton Scott is open from 7th April to 1st November and appeals to all ages. It offers a fascinating experience of farm and country life on a Shropshire hill farm in Victorian times. Please ask individual accommodation providers for details of entry concessions available and mention this web site.
