Reviews
Wonderful character cottage in an ideal village location. Comfortable, well appointed and great value for money. The heating/cooking is a tad idiosyncratic but I got the hang of it very quickly . All in all, highly recommended.
Stayed here for a long weekend in February, it is a lovely cottage, lots of traditional features, fab log burner and amazing bed! It is within walking distance to a couple of nice pubs and great location for walking.
Found this gorgeous little cottage for a weekend break - perfect for exploring with our 4 legged friend & a fabulous bath to soak in!! Great location too just a short walk from the local pub
A really lovely little cottage. Great base for walking. Doggy very much at home & relaxed. Nice local pubs & everyone in village very friendly. Very good facilities & very comfortable. will return.
Had a lovely long weekend in this lovely cottage and super friendly village. The cottage was quiet and well equipped (the radiators may need bleeding) and supplied for everything. A couple of low doors, but as I am 6'4 it was fine with caution. Nice little courtyard. Only 5 minutes walk from 2 great pubs with great beer and food. Traffic right outside during Clun rush hour and parking on first come first serves basis but managed to park within 100 yards throughout. A number of small practical shops also close by.
We had a great week in this beautiful cottage. The kitchen is fantastic and is well stocked with everything you need for a self catering holiday. The bathroom is newly renovated, airy and bright. The cottage is comfortable and feels like a home away from home. The patio out the back has lovely views to the hills and catches the sun almost all day. Recommend dinner at the local pub and check out the local museum which is worth a visit. the local supermarket is well stocked with no need to travel for supplies. Lots of walks around the local area and Ludlow has some great restaurants and a food centre just out of town. The owner is really helpful and does a great job looking after the property.

The cottage was cosy, welcoming and like staying at a home away from home.
We enjoyed the location of Castle Cottage; it was a haven for us after a long day spent walking. The character of the cottage helped us to feel like we were in a lovely holiday space, the layout of the cottage was presented beautifully. I thought that Clun had a lot to offer in relation to local walks, sights and amenities.
Absolutely lovely cottage, friendly area. Had a lovely time catching up with friends. Would definitely return.
This cottage is set in a beautiful very friendly village. This cottage is so lovely and very warm and everything you need is there. We had a fantastic very relaxing long weekend and would definitely love to return to explore the area more. Thank you for such a great cottage and a great time had.
It was a brilliant little cottage for a lovely Stay in Clun, I cannot recommend it highly enough. The owner has done a grand job in fitting it out and it's a great location.The yard area at the back was a great sun-trap and very handy for the BBQ! Quiet and beautiful countryside, well worth a visit.
Perfect for us with a dog, a cottage with character.
The location was fantastic and we will be going back.
This tastefully renovated cottage is a real gem in a lively village surrounded by beautiful countryside. Local people were friendly, with pubs & cafes well worth a visit. Excellent walks from the front door & practical solid floors make this a great place to enjoy a dog friendly break with cosy evenings relaxing by the fire. The owner was very helpful. Would love to come again!
