A super property in a wonderful location. Our visit was to catch up with friends in the area and we arrived (wonderful surprise) on the weekend of Clun Carnival and further afield, the Tenbury show, We were warmly greeted by Geoff who was more than happy to extend his local expertise and found a super welcome pack of milk, coffee, tea, vase of sweet peas and homemade cake. The property was very inviting and well equipped. The owners (although very close) were sensitive to providing us our privacy and appeared to use different gates and pathways. Our dog did miss an enclosed garden especially for early morning but this was expected. Plenty of walks from the doorstep to keep him and us occupied. Bed was so comfortable and the location so tranquil; it was hard to get up at a decent local hour - to our shame (without urban noise). Pubs in Clun prepare lovely food. Our explorations found some exciting places and a river for the dog to have a swim in the heat. Some very small niggles and recommendations are to ensure a non slip mat for inside the shower (have a few bruises after a little slip) and tv coverage was affected two nights out of four. (Very slow to buffer, pausing and intermittent). Having said that, when in such a wonderful location, the tv screen is more about watching nature outside the windows! When we visit again, we will most definitely book. Thank you Geoff and Marci. Lovely welcoming touches and privacy ensured.

Very nice cottage. Spacious and great views. The host was really helpful and left me some cake which was lovely on arrival. The bed was comfortable and shower was good. The kitchen was also well stocked with cookware so that made things easy.It is at the top of a steep hill out of Clun so something to bare in mind for cycling and walking holidays
