Guests say
Bicton Lea is consistently praised for its stunning views, spaciousness, and peaceful surroundings. Guests appreciate the well-equipped kitchen, clean and comfortable rooms, and the added luxury of a hot tub. The property's idyllic location and the thoughtful touches by the hosts contribute to a memorable stay, despite some minor maintenance issues and heating inconsistencies.
Guests frequently commend the property for its cleanliness, with several reviews highlighting the immaculate condition upon arrival. The attention to cleanliness contributes significantly to the overall positive experience.
The location is highly praised for its beautiful countryside, peacefulness, and stunning views. The property's seclusion adds to the charm, although one review mentioned a desire for more privacy from the owner.
The majority of guests find the property comfortable, with special mentions of comfy beds and a warm, cosy atmosphere. However, a few guests noted issues with heating consistency, which slightly impacts the comfort score.
Facilities are generally well-received, especially the hot tub and well-stocked kitchen. Some reviews, however, point out minor maintenance needs and suggest improvements, such as full fencing for pets and more drawers for storage.
While many reviews express gratitude for the welcoming touches and the provision of amenities like firewood, there is no explicit mention of gifts. Therefore, it is not possible to accurately assess the thoughtfulness based on gifts, and this score is set to null.
About this property

If you can tear yourself away from your luxurious base, two miles away is Clun where you can have a pub meal or picnic near the river and castle ruins before embarking on the Clun Valley Heritage Trail.

Glorious views, horses in the field next door, fully-equipped house with more than adequate facilities and friendly people. Lovely day trips to local towns and Welsh castles, good pubs and restaurants, peace and quiet. Bring fly spray!
