Guests that stayed at this property said
The cottage is generally regarded as very clean, with multiple reviews affirming its freshness upon arrival. However, a few guests noted minor oversights, such as crumbs and an unclean grill pan, which slightly detract from the overall high standard of cleanliness.
The location is highly praised for its charm, access to green spaces, and friendly village atmosphere. The proximity to good pubs and walking country contributes to the high score, with no negative comments about the location.
Comfort receives a good score as guests liked features such as the sun porch and two showers. However, some guests found the furniture low and uncomfortable, and one mentioned a broken dining chair, indicating room for improvement.
Facilities are generally good, with the cottage being well-equipped for most needs. However, issues such as complicated heating, insufficient lighting, and a lack of kitchen utensils have been pointed out, leading to a slightly reduced score.
There is no mention of gifts or special thoughtful touches in the reviews provided, so it is not possible to assess this category. Therefore, the score is set to null.
About this property
Settled in the heart of Clun in the Shropshire Hills AONB is this pretty, semi-detached cottage, Rosemary Cottage. This dog-friendly cottage has three bedrooms sleeping up to five guests, ideal for families, friends or couples to enjoy a relaxing break and walking holidays, complete with a fully-equipped kitchen, Smart TV, woodburning stove, and attractive furnishings throughout. After parking on the roadside, leave your boots in the porch before making yourself at home in the kitchen, where you'll find everything you need for a self-catering holiday, including a washing machine and dishwasher. Next door lies the spacious living/dining room where you can gather for dinner around the table for six, set by an original feature stone wall, followed by a film night in the sitting area with plush seating to sink into. Completing the cottage are three nicely appointed bedrooms with storage space and homely decor; two doubles and a 2'6" single. There is also a contemporary bathroom and a shower room, so you can unwind after long walks through the Shropshire Hills. In the morning, you'll find a small patio area with outdoor seating to savour your morning coffee whilst planning the day's adventures. The picturesque town of Clun is a superb base in Shropshire where you can dine at the Sun Inn just over the road, The White Horse Inn, and stop for breakfast at The Maltings Cafe, while you can stock up at the local convenience store. A stroll around the town will bring you to a selection of historic sites and architecture, including The Old Bridge across the River Clun, Clun Town Trust Museum, and the 13th-century ruins of Clun Castle with sweeping views of the surrounding countryside. Surrounding Clun are plenty of walking and cycling paths, such as Offas Dyke, whilst you can explore the likes of Bishop's Castle, home to the quirky House on Crutches Museum and the dog-friendly Three Tuns Inn. Head to Craven Arms where you can discover a collection of memorabilia at the Land Of Lost Content, try a range of activities at Shropshire Hills Discovery Centre, and tour the medieval Stokesay Castle. Further afield, you'll find the market town of Ludlow for the impressive Ludlow Castle, or perhaps explore more of the hills at Shropshire Hills Mountain Bike & Outdoor Pursuit Centre. However you spend your holiday, make Rosemary Cottage your home-from-home in Shropshire.

Very clean but not so well equipped, particularly the kitchen There were few decent knives and the cutlery wasnât good. China and glass fine but no colander. I realise not many people cook on a self-catering holiday. But I do. The Maltings cafe just across the road is really to be recommended.

We found the heating a bit complicated and couldn't get the radiators upstairs to come on or the heated towel rails. This really wasn't a problem since the weather was pretty good. We liked the little sun porch and the fact that there was two showers. The parking was a little bit of a problem but not too bad. Clun is a lovely village with good walking country all around.
