Guests that stayed at this property said
Reviews consistently mention the cottage being very clean and spotless, indicating high standards of cleanliness. The property's tidiness contributes significantly to guests' overall satisfaction.
The location is highly praised for its tranquillity, beautiful views, and proximity to walking paths like the Shropshire Way. The rural setting and nearby village of Clun add to the charm, though some guests mention difficulty in finding the property.
Guests find the cottage cosy and comfortable, with special mentions of comfortable beds and furniture. However, some guests note low doorways and steep stairs, which could pose discomfort for taller individuals or those with mobility issues.
The facilities, including the hot tub, wood burners, and well-equipped kitchen, are generally appreciated. However, some guests mention a lack of storage and wardrobe space, and issues with recycling facilities, which slightly lowers the score.
While many reviews express gratitude for the welcoming touches and helpful hosts, there is no specific mention of gifts. Therefore, it is not possible to score thoughtfulness based on gifts, and the score is set to null.
About this property
Clun 2.1 miles. Little Bicton is a stunning, detached stone cottage set in pretty rural surroundings, near to the town of Clun in South Shropshire. The accommodation has been beautifully furnished with many traditional touches and features, providing a superb base for those looking to escape the rush of their busy routines. The approach to the cottage is fantastic, passing over a small bridge and entering a blissful scene of idyllic countryside. Head inside to discover the farmhouse style kitchen, finished in a contemporary design with Farrow & Ball colours and LED lighting. During mealtimes gather round the dining table and enjoy a lovingly prepared meal, discussing how best to spend the rest of the holiday. Sink into the sofas in the comfortable sitting room, with your feet up and the roaring fire burning, what more could you ask for? As the evening draws to a close, retire to the well-presented bedrooms which can be found upstairs. The master bedroom has a very homely feel with exposed beams and a plush king-size double bed, and with the twin and double rooms Little Bicton offers flexible sleeping arrangements. After a day of exploring the unspoilt Shropshire countryside, rejuvenate in the bubbling hot tub with a glass of something cold in hand. There is also a fine seating area to the rear of the cottage, situated next to the charcoal BBQ which is sure to be used on a hot summers day. From the cottage you can walk in any direction and expect picturesque scenery from all angles, or stroll towards the town of Clun for a drink or meal in one of the pubs. If exploration takes you further afield then the popular market town of Ludlow is worth visiting, as well as the whole of the Shropshire Hills. Walks from door to Shropshire Way and Offas Dyke. Little Bicton promises a relaxing getaway, any time of year.
Situated in the South Shropshire Hills in an area of Oustanding Natural Beauty is the small town of Clun.

We a really appreciated that the sitting room log burner had been lit as it was so warm and cosy when we arrived. The house had everything we could have wanted and the hot tub was a perfect way to end the day. There are lovely walks straight from the front door which our dogs thoroughly loved. We will most definitely return!

Only thing that was the weather wasnât the best so had to travel around 30 minutes for the kids to do something indoors. This doesnât take anything away from this cottage, we would definitely go again. We had to cut our stay short due to an issue at home but still enjoyed our shorter than planned stay.

Nice touch that wood burners were prepared on arrival needing only lighting. (November break) Comfortable stay, furniture a little dated, small tv in lounge & some kitchen equipment was unclean on arrival but did not affect our stay/enjoyment. Did have slight issue with heating & hot water, but hoists sorted it quickly. Car needed a good clean, rather uneven bridge (or âford ) access only- working farm. Hot tub under the stars lovely. Mind your head walking around property and through internal low doorways, stairs could be tricky for less able people. Please explore Clun, Bishops Castle & Montgomery, so quaint.
