  Lovely rural retreat with everything you need for a comfortable break.

  The kitchen is very well equipped and everything is bagged afyer cleaning so you know anything used gets an extra clean on change over (even the remotes). The bedrooms and living area are comfortable and bedding was spotless, lovely fluffy towels are also provided. The lodge is perfect for 2 couples or a family of 4 with smart storage spaces, large beds and plenty of space to get ready. The owner was very friendly, helpful and on hand in you need her (but leaves you to it if you don't). The hot tub was the reason we booked and it didn't disappoint, lovely views and the perfect place to relax. Perfect spot for walks but not too far from local amenities including a well stocked spar 5 minutes drive away (or a nice 40 min walk along the river) there are also cafes and pubs in the village. Bigger supermarkets are around a 30 minute drive (all details are provided by the owner). The Wii and games were a lovely addition and kept us entertained on an evening. For families there is a great park in Bishops Castle only 5-10 minutes drive away. We had a fantastic holiday and would recommend to anyone looking for a quiet, comfortable and relaxing break.

  Our holiday at this property was just perfect.

  Starting with the fantastic service on behalf of Sykes. The owner of the property is very friendly and attentive. Regarding the property it was just ideal for us. Fantastic facilities, very comfy beds and extremely clean. The kitchen is well equipped, the downstairs is great too, wii games kept us entertained in the evening with the fire going and the hot tub was a real treat. the property is so lovely, its very apparent that the owners have put a lot of thought into it and pay attention to detail, you'll find all you need in the property form extra blankets in bedrooms to baking equipment in the kitchen. Fantastic views form the fab top to bottom double doors in the kitchen and the lounge area. It was so relaxing to wake up to the gorgeous views form the bedroom, fantastic rural getaway location. Just a step away form the lovely village of Clun, some great pubs for a drink and food and a fab starting point for a walk. We did a 5 mile walk and it was excellent, breathtaking views! Overall we would definitely recommend this property, for families or as a base for a romantic getaway for couples.

  Our stay at Bicton Lodge was warmly welcomed by Thomasina.

  The lodge itself is perfect. It has beautiful scenery all around, about 1 mile outside of Clun so not to far from the local pubs for food and drinks. We visited Bicton Lodge for our honeymoon and Thomasina went the extra mile to make our stay perfect. The Lodge is very cosy, warm and beds were really comfortable. Thomasina even set up the super king for us. The hot tub is a fantastic added extra as you can just jump in whenever you feel like it and enjoy the scenery during the day and look up at the stars at night. Overall we would rate our stay as a 10 out of 10. We don't usually go back to places on a second visit we prefer to travel around and try new places but Bicton Lodge will definitely be somewhere we come back to again. We have also recommended it to many friends and family. The only bad thing about Bicton Lodge is that we only booked it up for 3 nights, we wish we would have had a full week. Thank you Thomasina for making our honeymoon perfect. Even leaving us a card and the little hand written note on the door made it feel extra special. Thank you

  It’s not what it’s made out to be.

  After reading all of the amazing reviews on this lodge me and my partner couldn’t wait to go. We booked 7 nights away there and we came home early. The lodge is in somebody back gardens, you don’t have any privacy. It fails to tell you that you are miles and miles away from any kind of shop. We had the owners son just walk straight into our gardens no warning not even a text message to check the hot tub. In the owners back garden there is a punch bag for the son, the son was on the punch bag from around 21:00 till around 22:30. The issue here is the punch bag is on a tree which hang in the garden of the lodge so we had leaves and branches breaking off into the garden right where the hot tub is, also when the bag is punched it hits the fencing of the lodge garden so for 1hr 30 minutes we had constant banging on the fence later on at night. We just didn’t have any privacy whatsoever so we left early. The lodge is only good for a couple of days and if you don’t want to do anything apart from chill at the lodge.

  We had a lovely stay at Bicton lodge and would definitely recommend to friends to stay there.

  The lodge is quite a lot smaller than it appears in the pictures, but perfectly ample for a family of 4. The lodge was wonderfully furnished and very clean and had everything we could need for a weeks stay. We all enjoyed the hot tub and the daily visits from Couscous the cat. Although the property is next door to the owners they had made a really successful effort to make the lodge very private and although we knew the owners were there should we need them we were left to our own devices. The views from all windows from the lodge are absolutely amazing and to wake up to the sound of sheep, lambs and birdsong was a real treat. The beds were very comfortable and the bedding and towels were of a great quality. As a family of 4 we found the under-counter fridge with a small freezer compartment a struggle to accommodate food and drink for the week. Upstairs, the lack of storage space for clothes (mainly a wardrobe) was also an issue for 4 of us but we managed! A lovely, relaxing base in a beautiful countryside setting.
