    “Had a recent 2 night stay and it was just perfect.”

    Property had everything we needed for the stay and nothing else but a whole lot of peace and quiet ! The road to the property isn’t very big and is a bit dodgy at times but that can’t be helped and it’s probably seemed worse when you aren’t used to driving on roads like that. It’s the perfect place though to just relax and escape the real world for a while. Thank you so much and we will definitely be returning soon

About the location

CLUN

Bishop's Castle 6 miles; Ludlow 18 miles.

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.

A travel cot is available on request, and only one baby can be accommodated.
