Ludlow boasts an inordinate number of medieval buildings given its size, and its culture and natural beauty are equally lauded.

Ludlow is a market town in Shropshire, England. The oldest part is the medieval walled town, founded in the late 11th century, centred on a small hill which lies within a bend of the River Teme, on its eastern bank. Atop this hill is the site of Ludlow Castle and the parish church, St Laurence's, the largest in the county. The town is in a sheltered spot beneath Mortimer Forest and the Clee Hills, which are clearly visible from the town. Ludlow has nearly 500 listed buildings. They include some fine examples of medieval and Tudor-style half-timbered buildings including the Feathers Hotel. The town was described by Sir John Betjeman as "probably the loveliest town in England".

Feather's Hotel, Ludlow

As far as your suggested package was concerned, it suited us perfectly. Before we travelled, we knew what we wanted but didn’t really know how to go about it as we knew little about the cities we wanted to visit, or the hotels which would do the job. My wife just happened upon your website and it really did a great job for us - just enter the cities we wanted to visit and hey, presto! An itinerary! Everywhere we went, the hotels were expecting us and the trip went according to plan. We were happy with the general quality and price of the hotels, and your site was a great help, so we thoroughly enjoyed the break. Thanks!

RoutePerfect was the answer we were looking for! The trip budget options and the the reviews of the hotels gave us a feeling for what to expect when we got there. Pricing was very manageable - we opted for a Moderate Trip, and we easily stayed within our own budget! The website was easy to use, auto or manual mode. The trip was made a lot easier by the simplified accommodation selection process and having our hotels pre-paid.
