High Summer is the Time to Book an Autumn Stay in Shropshire

Where: Fishmore Road, Ludlow, Shropshire, United Kingdom, SY8 3DP

Excuse us for being persnickity, but isn’t it still summer right now? And we’d quite like to carry on thinking that until the hot stuff stops.

So we won’t be thinking about the “Autumn calendar of events” that Fishmore Hall in Shropshire has just launched quite yet. But for those of you who like to plan ahead, October and November will see in a Colour Me Beautiful day, when you can see whether you’re wearing the right clothes or need to invest in a new wardrobe (October 2, pencil it in ladies). It costs £25, and includes luck and a glass of wine (and the restaurant is a goodie – we stayed there when it opened and were very impressed).

In case (perish the thought) you’re more interested in imbibing than colouring yourself beautiful, there’s a special wine dinner — four courses plus French bottles — on October 22. Or if you’re the type who’s already planning Christmas presents, book in for November 28-29, when there’s a medieval fayre in town.

Having said all that, the hotel is lovely; supercomfy rooms and gorgeous views over the sheep-filled countryside. But, for now, let’s just think of it as a nice spot for a summer break, yeah? Doubles currently cost from £99.
