Hazel Lodge

About this property

Clun 2.6 miles. Hazel Lodge is set in the quiet village of Clunton, close to the historic town of Clun in south Shropshire. Surrounded by rolling countryside and peaceful lanes, it’s well-suited to couples or two pairs of friends looking to slow the pace and explore this unspoilt corner of the county. Inside, the open-plan living space offers a practical and sociable layout. The kitchen is fully equipped with an electric oven, gas hob, microwave, fridge/freezer, dishwasher, kettle and toaster, so preparing anything from a simple breakfast to a hearty evening meal is straightforward. A dining table provides space to gather and plan the next day’s outing, while the sitting area features comfortable seating and a Smart TV for relaxed evenings indoors.

There are two bedrooms: one king-size and one double. Each benefits from its own en-suite shower room with a walk-in shower, basin and WC, giving guests added privacy and convenience. A separate utility room adds to the practicality, particularly for longer stays or walking breaks. Outside, an enclosed decked area with outdoor furniture offers a pleasant spot to sit out and take in the rural setting, whether with a morning coffee or a drink at dusk. Off-road parking for two cars is available, and essentials such as WiFi, central heating, bed linen, towels, fuel and power are all included. A friendly village pub can be found nearby, while everyday supplies are available with a supermarket and a butcher in Craven Arms and a Spar shop in Clun, a picturesque town known for the ruins of Clun Castle and its annual Green Man Festival.

Bishop’s Castle is also within easy reach, offering independent shops, traditional pubs and access to the Shropshire Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Ludlow, with its well-regarded food scene and impressive medieval castle, is a short drive away. Walkers will appreciate routes across the Long Mynd and Offa’s Dyke Path, both easily accessible from the area. Hazel Lodge provides a comfortable base for discovering Shropshire’s landscapes, historic towns and quieter way of life.

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. This unspoilt part of Britain has an abundance of wildlife and beautiful unhindered walking and cycling routes winding their way through the countryside with the Clun and Kerry Forests, Offa's Dyke, and Kerry Ridgeway all close by. There are a wide range of festivals and shows on offer in the surrounding area throughout the year, including The Green Man festival in May. From Clun, you can also enjoy exploring the historic towns of Bishop's Castle, Presteigne, Ludlow, Shrewsbury, and Hereford, a must for visitors.
