The Experience

A beautiful listed 1600s Dutch brick house with the famous Crow Leasow Oak (over a thousand years old) gracing the garden and a cockerel strutting about with his hens; there’s much history here and Sally will be happy to tell you all about it over tea. If you’re a group you’ll feel very private in a different part of the house – it’s cheaper to come with friends and you may get to stay in for supper too – good English cooking with masses of vegetables.

Sally likes to make people happy, so breakfast is a convivial affair around a big table: eggs from her hens, sourdough bread baked by a friend, homemade compote, bacon and sausages from the butcher in Ludlow, Peruvian coffee, homemade marmalade and jams. She’ll make you a picnic and pack it up in a basket too.

Head out for the wonderful, untrammelled Shropshire Hills, an AONB with many footpaths. Wild swim in rivers, watch salmon leaping in spring and visit castles and churches. Ludlow is three miles (bring or hire bikes) for food markets and independent shops. Return to peaceful bedrooms with gorgeous views.

Reviews

Ken, Chester

Everything about Crow Leasowe is delightful, from the location through the house and rooms to the breakfast. In truth, Crow Leasowe is more than a B&B - because the rooms are in a wing it feels like you have the house to yourself. When it’s opportune, breakfast on the terrace enables you to appreciate just how panoramic the views are on all four sides and Sally is such a tremendous host. We’re looking forward to returning asap.


Carrie, Martock

This is our third visit to Crow Leasow..do I need to say more? -Yes! A beautiful cosy, welcoming home to really relax in. Sally's cooking is wonderful, and beautifully presented in the dining room. A recent addition is a fridge near the dining room for you to store those bottles needed for celebrating! Sally is so amenable, nothing is too much trouble. We thoroughly enjoyed our three days at Crow Leasow, and will be back to visit sooner than later. Somewhere where we can be sure of a truly warm welcome -from Sally and Robin..and Bob and Bertie (the highly trained welcoming committee!)


Gilly, Brackley

We were welcomed with great enthusiasm by Bob and Bertie, the resident dogs running to greet us on arrival! We stayed for three nights for a family birthday celebration which included delicious breakfasts with home made marmalade & raspberry jam, and a pre organised mouth-watering supper one night cooked by Sally. The selection for breakfast was just right & the home made scones on arrival a perfect touch. We were blessed with sunny weather so able to enjoy the sunset on the decking of the summer house on two evenings. A fabulous relaxed decadent setting I cannot recommend enough!


Ian and Debbie, Bath

We have become accustomed to the consistently excellent standard on offer from Sawday's and Crow Leasow easily met our expectations. Sally made us all instantly at home with fresh scones and tea served in front of a log fire and this set the tone for the following couple of days. Our accommodation was spacious, comfortable and lacked for nothing and our hostess was attentive and friendly and conjured up superb breakfasts (plus dinner on the Friday evening). Crow Leasow Farm is an ideal base for exploring the local area and is unreservedly recommended.


Helen, Stratford upon Avon

A perfect base to explore Ludlow and the surrounding area. Sally made us feel very welcome and we very much enjoyed the comfy beds and fabulous breakfasts. A very late check out was so appreciated. Highly recommend.


Location

The neighbourhood

You're surrounded by green fields, hills, woods and rivers; from the doorstep the views are stunning. Climb Clee Hill and you'll see the Malvern Hills; join the Shropshire Way; walking and cycling routes are abundant here. The river Teme meanders along nearby and has lovely walks along its banks; Ledwyche Brook is an attractive place for a picnic. There are lots of good pubs and restaurants a five-minute drive away in and around Ludlow.

Local points of interest from Sally Kellard

  • Walk, run, cycle or just sit and look. Stroll down over ancient sheep pastures to the little river. Paddle in the shallows, picnic on the bank or hike up the imposing Titterstone Clee. Sit under the boughs of a 1000 year old oak tree with tea and scones.
  • Mediaeval Ludlow. A beautiful bustling town with its massive castle, host to many festivals. Great places to eat, drink and shop. Sally had her very popular shop in the middle for a little under 10 years before starting in the business of hospitality!
  • With a jockey in the family and a National hunt yard as a near neighbour, a visit to Ludlow Races, a 10 minute drive away will result in great interest in your day when you return for a hearty warming supper next to the woodburner!
  • South Shropshire, the mid Wales border and Herefordshire, our neighbours are such well kept secrets. More than a fair share of castles and other ancient fortresses. We are an area of very low population. Traffic jams? What is one of those?
  • Unusually, dinner is available here. BYO wine with a fridge in the hallway for anything needing to be chilled. Think good home cooking with silver, fine china, crystal glasses and candles with the log burner lit on chilly eves (also lit at breakfast time.)
  • One of Robin’s passions is motorsport and as a past rally champ we often host teams competing around the area. We seem to breed a lot of rally stars locally, probably due to the forest stages quite nearby. There is a rally school a short drive from us.

Introducing

Sally Kellard

Sally and Robin ran a B&B in Herefordshire before returning to their beloved Ludlow. She’d spent 12 years in the corporate world of pharmaceuticals but left to follow a dream of being her own boss; she then ran her own clothes shops and her motto is always to “treat people with respect and look after their dignity and self-esteem”. She loves sharing their home in this fabulous part of the world.
