Ludlow area - do you know any good places to stay and eat for foodies?

[Finbar]

Does anyone know this area? - i know they have a Food Festival in September, but we fancied a foodie break before then.

I'd love to hear of any good places to stay and even better places to eat.

Sorry to post this when we should all be on New Year Diets.

sorry, no but wd love too to find out some info especially on family-friendly hotels/b&bs there.

meant to add this link:

www.ludlow.org.uk
for info on restaurants etc

mr underhill's i think....restaurant with rooms if i remember and there is another michelin starred place....i think there might be 3. good hotel guide has good places to stay in it.....one of them has a door number type name....sorry to be vague!

with kids or not i suppose/?

There is an internationally famous place near there but can't remember name for love nor money -sorry! I'm sure the link will tell you

Feathers is very nice hotel. There are quite a few Michelin starred restaurants round there too.

Mr Underhills and Hibiscus are both supposed to be great.The first Michelin-starred restaurant there,the Merchant House, has closed down as the chef moved.
We've stayed in a place outside Ludlow called Sutton Court Farm which has holiday cottages.It was great at the time but was a few years ago so my info is not up to date.

have just seen a programme on sky showing the hibiscus in ludlow; looks v.nice!!!

Ludlow is packed with brilliant restaurants.

Merchant House closed because Shaun Hill had made his money and is now writing and lecturing about food.

Dinham Hall has a 5 rating in the Good Food Guide and looks great and has accommodation.

Hibiscus has an 8 rating and sounds FAB!

Mr Underhills has a 7 rating and rooms.

CAT me if you want any more info as I LOVE the good food guide and we travel round the country eating our way thru good restaurants!

i used to live in ludlow!

Hibiscus is FAB- expenisve but absolutly wonderful.
Mr Underhills is slightly overated tbh.
Dinham Hall is lovely.
Have a great time, Ludlow is beautiful.

A bit further afield but Stretton Hall Hotel is excellent for families and not too expensive. They also welcome dogs! Food is pretty good too
It's in All Stretton about half way between Ludlow and Shrewsbury, near Church Stretton.
Check out their website StrettonHall
