Cottage was good although I agree with other comments about the shower. However, this didn't put us off as this was our stay at Marigold Cottage!

Everything was very clear on how to use everything, I would personally like to thank the owner for the collection of books available- I have actually taken up yoga again as a result of their collection and bought one of the books myself ! A treat to have the castle so close and plenty of places to walk with dog, beautiful views and wildlife such as woodpeckers / hedgehogs / owls. Would highly recommend Clun and would definitely return.
