About this property
Clun 2.1 miles. Little Bicton is a stunning, detached stone cottage set in pretty rural surroundings, near to the town of Clun in South Shropshire. The accommodation has been beautifully furnished with many traditional touches and features, providing a superb base for those looking to escape the rush of their busy routines. The approach to the cottage is fantastic, passing over a small bridge and entering a blissful scene of idyllic countryside. Head inside to discover the farmhouse style kitchen, finished in a contemporary design with Farrow & Ball colours and LED lighting. During mealtimes gather round the dining table and enjoy a lovingly prepared meal, discussing how best to spend the rest of the holiday. Sink into the sofas in the comfortable sitting room, with your feet up and the roaring fire burning, what more could you ask for? As the evening draws to a close, retire to the well-presented bedrooms which can be found upstairs. The master bedroom has a very homely feel with exposed beams and a plush king-size double bed, and with the twin and double rooms Little Bicton offers flexible sleeping arrangements. After a day of exploring the unspoilt Shropshire countryside, rejuvenate in the bubbling hot tub with a glass of something cold in hand. There is also a fine seating area to the rear of the cottage, situated next to the charcoal BBQ which is sure to be used on a hot summers day. From the cottage you can walk in any direction and expect picturesque scenery from all angles, or stroll towards the town of Clun for a drink or meal in one of the pubs. If exploration takes you further afield then the popular market town of Ludlow is worth visiting, as well as the whole of the Shropshire Hills. Walks from door to Shropshire Way and Offas Dyke. Little Bicton promises a relaxing getaway, any time of year.
Situated in the South Shropshire Hills in an area of Oustanding Natural Beauty is the small town of Clun.

Very clean and well equipped. Great location for walking and exploring the area. Very helpful owners. When the snow arrived they cleared the path and offered more logs. Would highly recommend.

Great for our dog, lots of secure outside space - he made friends with the horses in the neighbouring field! Loved using the hot tub then back inside to a toasty log fire. Beautiful location with lovely walks and quaint villages close by. Will definitely be back again!

The cottage is so comfortable and it was lovely to light the fire in the evening after enjoying a relax in the hot tub star gazing! There is so much to do and lovely walks straight from the cottage door. Thank you for an enjoyable holiday.
