About this property
This is a cosy, one bedroom, terraced cottage, located in the picturesque village of Clun in the Shropshire Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Traditionally-furnished throughout with an old world cast iron range, it really captures the original character of the cottage. Downstairs, there is an open plan living and dining area, with a stunning arched stone fireplace housing the freestanding old-fashioned range, with oven and small fire cradle offering the novelty of the warming glow of a natural fire during the cold months. The separate kitchen enjoys countryside views. Upstairs, there is a comfortably spacious bedroom with a craftsman-fitted pine, overlapped floor and a large thick rug, extending either side of the bed to add extra cosiness. Tuc-Tin garden has a stone patio, which has a combined bench seat and table, ideal for eating outdoors during the warm weather. There is a pleasant, enclosed lawned area for relaxing and sunbathing in, with an arched bench seat at the bottom of the garden to suit the afternoon sun. The 800-year old Clun Castle ruins can be seen from from Tuc-Tin, approximately one hundred yards away, with the hills of the beautiful Shropshire countryside beyond. With two pubs in the village, as well as tea rooms and high quality butchers, there is everything you need on your doorstep. The surrounding towns and villages are all easy to get to and a half-hour ride can take you to Ludlow, Bishops Castle, Church Stretton, Long Mynd, amongst many more idyllic places to visit. Travelling around Shropshire, Hereford and the Welsh countryside offers relatively quiet roads so you can get to your choice of destinations very easily, whilst enjoying the journey through the beautiful green hills and woodlands, whether you are walking, biking or driving. This is a fantastic property for couples to enjoy all year round.
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.

The stairs to the bedroom were steep and unfortunately the bathroom was downstairs. Maybe the bathroom could be updated with a walk in shower. Also parking was difficult on the street and it was a busy road But the cottage was really good despite these drawbacks and Clun is lovely

Property had everything we needed. It's exactly as described. Location is fantastic and we loved the village of Clun itself and loads more places to visit which are all a short drive away. Couple of minor negatives from our point of view were that the place inside & outside could do with a bit of a tidy up (cobwebs everywhere & garden overgrown) and also neighbour coming & going at free will to tend to the property's garden. Had to keep checking before we could let dog outside. However this didn't deter us from having a good stay in the cottage it just took the edge off a brilliant stay.
