Guests that stayed at this property said
The cottage consistently receives high marks for cleanliness, with multiple reviews noting it as spotless and well-maintained. The presence of a wood burner and pets makes this aspect particularly commendable.
The location is frequently described as peaceful, beautiful, and ideal for nature lovers, with easy access to local walks and wildlife. Its proximity to the town of Clun and the Shropshire hills adds to its charm.
Comfort is highlighted with mentions of cosy beds and a warm, homely feel. However, a few comments about water pressure and narrow baths prevent a perfect score.
Facilities are generally well-regarded, with the cottage being well-equipped and the garden well-maintained. Some reviews suggest improvements in water pressure and the provision of a hosepipe, indicating room for enhancement in maintenance.
While the reviews reflect a positive experience, there is no mention of gifts or special thoughtful touches provided by the hosts, so it is not possible to score this category.
About this property
A charming detached period cottage located in the countryside landscapes of Bicton, South Shropshire. The cottage is in a wonderful quiet rural location just a short drive to the nearest village of Clun. On the ground floor you will enter a very convenient hall/bootroom. There is a bathroom with shower. The kitchen is an excellent space for preparing delicious meals and has the luxury of a separate larder. The impressive log burner sits in an ancient fire place within the lounge; you can snuggle up on the very comfortable sofa with a glass of wine or just sit back and watch the flames. The master bedroom has a very romantic feel with exposed oak beams and wonky floors, the twin bedroom has the beds tucked neatly between the rafters. This character, cosy and comfortable cottage boasts a large lawned garden enabling you to enjoy the peace and quiet. Spot some local wildlife such as deer and birds of prey whilst waiting for the BBQ to cook! You’re within easy reach of numerous castles, mountains and the towns and villages of South Shropshire, Herefordshire and mid Wales. An ideal base from which to explore with friends and family.
A.E. Houseman's poem, A Shropshire Lad, defined Clun as 'the quietest place under the sun', and with its dramatic ruin of a Norman castle, Saxon church, the bustling river which flows under the 14th century pack horse bridge, and a country inn, Clun is a rural gem situated in the South Shropshire Hills. It lies on the Shropshire Way in a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty close to the border of Wales, an area known as The Marches.
