  • "We had a really beautiful Xmas at Bicton Lea."

    It is not all that far from where we live but has the capacity for our family whichever direction they are coming from and however much time they can take off work.The little ones were awed by the enormous and superbly decorated Xmas Tree in the conservatory which also made a magical grotto. We all had Xmas Eve and Xmas Day altogether except for my daughter's fiancee who is in the Army and was sent on tour in November until February. We hope he will be with us too next year possibly with a new baby if their IVF goes well on his return! The house was so welcoming and homely, wood burning stove laid up ready and all rooms spotlessly clean with fantastic views from every direction. We found lovely walks in the surrounding area and I loved Clun which reminded me somewhat of Ledbury back in the 1970s where my parents had a newsagents shop. An agricultural, laid back, friendly, quirky place, totally unpretentious yet with dramatic castle ruins in a spectacular setting. We used a hot tub many years ago when attending a wedding in Yorkshire, also staying at a farm and we found ourselves surprised how good it made us feel. The daily maintenance of the tub here was very reassuring and everyone enjoyed time in the hot tub except our little ones who are too young at present. We were fortunate to have starry nights and sunny days after initially wind and heavy rain. Bicton Lea felt so homely we were sad when it was time to leave.

The property

Clun 2 miles.

Bicton Lea is a beautifully finished large stone house located near Clun and the beauty of Clun Valley.

The accommodation provides a high-quality location for two families or a large group, a luxurious base for a holiday in the Shropshire Hills.

The ground floor has a large kitchen with breakfast bar, amply sized and fitted out to cater for your full complement of guests.

The dining room stretches into the conservatory and has seating facilities to match your party size.

If seated dining is too formal, there is a separate TV room designed with viewing pleasure in mind with its outsized wall-mounted television and three seater recliner sofa.

The sitting area is large enough for your full group, with two luxurious L-shaped sofas to sit around the woodburner fire and look out at the stunning views.

There are five bedrooms on the first floor; one king size, three doubles and one twin.

The beautifully maintained lawns lead you out to a property highlight, a summer house with outdoor hot tub, perfect for relaxing on warm sunny evenings.

Or for those not keen on the bubbles, a large patio picnic table is located outside.

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.

There are half a dozen Walkers are Welcome towns in the vicinity, of which Clun is one, but if you fancy heading further afield then the charms of Ludlow are a 20 mile ride away.

Bicton Lea is ideal for large groups or two families to have a high-quality, peaceful base for a holiday in the Shropshire Hills.

About the location

CLUN

Bishop's Castle 6 miles; Ludlow 18 miles.

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.
