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.

    Very modern and clean. Great location. Very quiet and secluded. Very secure garden for dogs. Loved the area. Owners very helpful and friendly. Would like to go back again.

  • Joanne

    Very warm and cosy. Very secluded on the edge of a forest with a fantastic secure garden which our dogs loved (chihuahuas). The owners live close by and call in to introduce themselves and check everything is ok, Steve was very knowledgeable about the local area and wildlife. We had a wonderful week and will be back.

  • Marie

    The property was better than the pictures show. Beautiful place set in beautiful grounds. The owners were lovely as well. This will most definitely sit on our favourites list to visit again. We simply did not want to return to the real world. Very sad to leave.
