“A beautifully, comfortable cottage set in peaceful surroundings.”

We booked the cottage to sit back and relax for a few days, we were able to do this and didn't want to leave. The cottage was very clean and had everything we needed for our stay. Our host, Thomasina, was very friendly and helpful. The welcome basket was very much appreciated.

“The perfect base for a holiday in the quiet of Shropshire - "Clunton and Clunbury, Clungunford and Clun are the quietest places under the sun".”

We had a wonderful relaxing week. Thank you Thomasina.

Sylvia April 2024

“Excellent facility for a week’s stay in this beautiful county.”

Thomasina was most helpful and courteous. Always checked if it was convenient to check the hot tub. Not a problem at all that the owner lived next door. Highly recommend Bicton Lodge.

“What a truly wonderful property.”

A real find. It was just what we needed to relax and unwind. The facilities were clean and all there. The owner popped to welcome us and carry out the fire regulations talk and even gave us some tips of where to eat. Really wonderful property and owner. Thank you so so much we cannot wait to return xx

Keith December 2023

“A truly wonderful cottage in a gorgeous location.”

Private, very comfortable and excellent facilities. A lovely welcome pack, and the hot-tub was maintained daily - early morning whilst we slept. We were very well looked after. The location is gorgeous, with stunning views of the fields and hills, and on a clear night the night sky is full of starts...no up-lighting to spoil the experience. We were a party of 4 adults, looking to have a relaxing unwind. It was perfect in every way. I'd highly recommend this cottage for a stay.

- Keith, December 2023

David September 2023

“A great place to truly relax.”

A lovely timber building with a bright, clean and modern interior, set in a beautiful rural location. Thomasina is an attentive host, but is never intrusive. Bicton Lodge is the perfect place to shed the burdens of city life. We loved it!

- David, September 2023
Darren August 2023

“Thomasina was a great host and the lodge was such a serene retreat.”

..the welcome basket of local produce like the pale ale, lemonade, Welsh cakes and fresh cut flowers from the garden was a fabulous welcomer. We had cows and sheep for neighbours all week and a fabulous hot tub we certainly put to good use as my bad back welcomed it . The cottage had most things you need for a great break and any recommendations were welcomed.Would definitely recommend the place. The only problem I had personally was I missed my very comfy bed so I'll bring bed toppers next time.

- Darren, August 2023

“Excellent accommodation with everything provided that you could ever want.”

Beautifully clean and in a great location for walks or exploring other places. Comfy beds, stunning hot tub and a log burner for those chilly evenings. The owner, Thomasina, has the perfect balance of friendly/chatty and is on hand for anything you may need.

Matthew March 2023

“Our stay at Bicton Lodge was warmly welcomed by Thomasina.”

The lodge itself is perfect. It has beautiful scenery all around, about 1 mile outside of Clun so not to far from the local pubs for food and drinks. We visited Bicton Lodge for our honeymoon and Thomasina went the extra mile to make our stay perfect. The Lodge is very cosy, warm and beds were really comfortable. Thomasina even set up the super king for us. The hot tub is a fantastic added extra as you can just jump in whenever you feel like it and enjoy the scenery during the day and look up at the stars at night. Overall we would rate our stay as a 10 out of 10. We don't usually go back to places on a second visit we prefer to travel around and try new places but Bicton Lodge will definitely be somewhere we come back to again. We have also recommended it to many friends and family. The only bad thing about Bicton Lodge is that we only booked it up for 3 nights, we wish we would have had a full week. Thank you Thomasina for making our honeymoon perfect. Even leaving us a card and the little hand written note on the door made it feel extra special. Thank you

- Matthew, March 2023

Aww thank you for your lovely feedback. We are so glad you had a perfect stay and were only too happy to go the extra mile for your special occasion! Wishing you both much joy in your future together. Property Owner

Lisa December 2022

“Another fantastic stay at BICTON LODGE!”

This was our second visit for the new year and it didn't dissapoint. Once again beautiful home with stunning views across the country. Beds are so comfy we lay in most days, because we could haha. Exceptional host Tomasina who adds the most special touches. We arrived to a beautiful welcome pack which included a bottle of fizz and some lovely Christmas presents under the tree x The weather wasn't that great this year but that didn't stop us using the hot tub and enjoying lots of just dance on the wee

- Lisa, December 2022

“Really enjoyed the weekend.”

Lovely rural spot with lots of local walks and nice places to sit outside around cottage to enjoy countryside. Clean cottage very welcoming and the owners were lovely. Only thing would be some blankets/throws in cottage to make it cosy

- Kelsey, August 2022

Glad you had a lovely stay Kelsey. We've reintroduced some cosy throws now - they were taken out during Covid. We hope to welcome you back sometime. Property Owner
Andrew July 2022

“We had a great time here.”

The hot tub was a hit with my girls and they enjoyed waking up each morning to see how close the cows were. We made some memories here as a family that we won't forget.

- Andrew, July 2022
Neil July 2022

“Really lovely cottage.”

Owner was so friendly and discreet.

- Neil, July 2022
Lindsay June 2022

“Lovely lodge, fitted out with everything we needed for our stay.”

The hot tub was great bonus after a long walk and having the cows look over at you was interesting - they are so curious! We could image being cosy in the colder weather with the fire going.

- Lindsay, June 2022
Andrew June 2022

“Recently stayed at Bicton Lodge and it was everything we expected: clean, spacious,relaxing and very quiet.”

The area is unique, full of wildlife, beautiful vistas and not many people! If you enjoy walking, cycling or just visiting historic towns or hamlets, this area and the comfort of Bicton Lodge will not let you down.

- Andrew, June 2022
Pat May 2022

“We really enjoyed our stay in this cottage.”

Everything was clean and tidy (even the kitchen knives were sharp!) and to hand. The views are lovely, local tradespeople (Mr T's pies - you must have one - and Long Mynd Cider are ones we used) are really helpful and friendly. The owner is on hand if needed and is also friendly and helpful. The walks from the cottage and further afield are lovely. It was great to get in the hot tub after a long day's strenuous walking to ease aching muscles, especially with the great views from it.

- Pat, May 2022
Helen April 2022

“We had a lovely stay at Bicton Lodge!”

The property is so cosy and clean, and the hot tub was the cherry on the cake. The owner was very helpful and kind. Would highly recommend.

- Helen, April 2022
Rebecca April 2022

“We had a lovely stay at Bicton lodge and would definitely recommend to friends to stay there.”

The lodge is quite a lot smaller than it appears in the pictures, but perfectly ample for a family of 4. The lodge was wonderfully furnished and very clean and had everything we could need for a weeks stay. We all enjoyed the hot tub and the daily visits from Couscous the cat. Although the property is next door to the owners they had made a really successful effort to make the lodge very private and although we knew the owners were there should we need them we were left to our own devices. The views from all windows from the lodge are absolutely amazing and to wake up to the sound of sheep, lambs and birdsong was a real treat. The beds were very comfortable and the bedding and towels were of a great quality. As a family of 4 we found the under-counter fridge with a small freezer compartment a struggle to accommodate food and drink for the week. Upstairs, the lack of storage space for clothes (mainly a wardrobe) was also an issue for 4 of us but we managed! A lovely, relaxing base in a beautiful countryside setting.

- Rebecca, April 2022
Leslie March 2022

“Wonderful stay in an idyllic hideaway in the beautiful Shropshire countryside.”

The accomodation was clean and comfortable with all you need for a relaxed stay. One week was not enough to soak up all that was on offer in the area.

- Leslie, March 2022
Claire February 2022

“Wow. Perfect perfect perfect.”

I would come back and stay over and over again. Couldn't thank you enough for the stay at Bicton Lodge. Be sure we will be back again soon!!

- Claire, February 2022
Helena February 2022

“Just returned from a lovely week at Bicton lodge.”

We were a family of four with two teenagers. Lovely welcome on arrival from Thomasina and nice welcome basket. The hot tub was definitely a real plus particularly as we had a rather wet and windy week but there was always a gap for a lovely dip. The lodge was very clean and warm, something I always hope for in February and we also made use of the wood burner more for affect than need. Visits from the very friendly farm cat just added to this relaxing holiday. Thank you very much we will definitely return.

- Helena, February 2022
Lisa December 2021

“We absolutely loved our stay at bicton lodge,.”

Karen October 2021

“We had an amazing week at Bicton Lodge.”

The lodge is airy, spacious, warm and quiet. Lots of scenic walking locally and nice walk into Clun from the lodge. It was a joy to see red kites and buzzards . We heard the owl while in the hot tub but unfortunately didn’t see it. The owner , Thomasina, was extremely helpful . We will definitely be back.

- Karen, October 2021
Annie September 2021

Natalie July 2021

“Lovely rural retreat with everything you need for a comfortable break.”

The kitchen is very well equipped and everything is bagged afyer cleaning so you know anything used gets an extra clean on change over (even the remotes). The bedrooms and living area are comfortable and bedding was spotless, lovely fluffy towels are also provided. The lodge is perfect for 2 couples or a family of 4 with smart storage spaces, large beds and plenty of space to get ready. The owner was very friendly, helpful and on hand in you need her (but leaves you to it if you don't). The hot tub was the reason we booked and it didn't disappoint, lovely views and the perfect place to relax. Perfect spot for walks but not too far from local amenities including a well stocked spar 5 minutes drive away (or a nice 40 min walk along the river) there are also cafes and pubs in the village. Bigger supermarkets are around a 30 minute drive (all details are provided by the owner). The Wii and games were a lovely addition and kept us entertained on an evening. For families there is a great park in Bishops Castle only 5-10 minutes drive away. We had a fantastic holiday and would recommend to anyone looking for a quiet, comfortable and relaxing break.

- Natalie, July 2021
Jess July 2021

“Fly blinds could be helpful for the summer months as you will have the doors open most of the time.”

“Such a lovely cosy lodge.”

It was perfect for our needs and the hot tub surrounded by fields was a great bonus! The host was fantastic and accommodated all our needs we could not thank her enough! Perfect for a small group of friends or for a romantic break away.

- Annie, May 2021
Wayne May 2021

“Beautiful location lots of lovely walks around the area.”

Cottage was very cosy we lit the log burner on day as it was quite chilly with all the rain we had ot was very relaxing and lovely and warm.

- Wayne, May 2021
Christine May 2021

“Only rated it "met expectations" because after holidaying in your properties for several years our expectations are very high anyway.”

Bicton Lodge was certainly up to your usual standards in terms of cleanliness and comfort and in the most peaceful setting. Our hostess Thomasina was most helpful both before (sending us a load of information regarding the cottage facilities, things to do, places to go and of course the Covid regulations) and during our stay. The only disappointment was that the weather wasn't suitable to enjoy the hot tub.

- Christine, May 2021
Christine April 2021

“We had a fantastic stay at Bicton lodge.”

The cottage is lovely, very cosy and well equipped. The garden is a real sun trap and there are lovely views from the cottage. We really appreciated the hot tub after a days walking. It’s ideally situated for walking the Shropshire way. It’s an easy mile walk into Clun which is a picturesque village with pubs and cafes. Thomasina was a great host and very helpful.

- Christine, April 2021
Elodie April 2021

Barbara September 2020

“Overall we liked the cottage and had a relaxing break.”

Great for walking. Hot tub was a treat. Living room was cosy. Great to have footstools which we have found quite rare. Beds were comfy. The walk into Clun was lovely. As we are tall we found upstairs a lttle cramped and kept banging our heads on the eaves. Really missed having a washing machine. Never even thought to check on booking because over the last twenty years of cottage holidays I don't believe we have ever stayed where there wasnt even access to a washer. If you are in the countryside and going walking where it can be very muddy it is good to be able to wash dirty clothes rather than bringing home. Minor point in the scheme of things and overall we had a lovely stay.

- Barbara, September 2020
Ricky August 2020

“Awesome cottage in a superb location.”

Thomasina has all bases and more covered at Bicton Lodge; high spec, plenty of space, cosy log fire, hot tub, tranquility and an outstanding view of the rolling Shropshire Hills. Our first time here and the cottage provided a fantastic base to get out walking all round the local beautiful areas, short drives to Powys Castle, Montgomery and Ludlow and even a drive out to take on a walk to the top of Snowdon - the location is ideal. Clun is only a very pleasant short walk away to use Pubs, Cafes and Restaurants. Still so much more to do and see, we’ll be back for sure.

- Ricky, August 2020
Simon August 2020

“Fantastic retreat with lovely local walks to the town so you can enjoy a good meal and a pint!”

Excellent facilities for a family of four who want to get away from it all! Lovely hostess too who made us feel very welcome. Thank you Bicton Lodge!

- Simon, August 2020
Sally August 2020

“A charming & spotlessly clean cottage retreat, the hot tub was truly relaxing with beautiful views of the countryside, local walks, friendly village nearby etc only enhanced by our hosts warm & welcoming hospitality.”

We had an amazing family holiday with the added bonus of our children meeting and falling in love with Stan & Couscous - the hosts family pets ♥

- Sally, August 2020
Stuart July 2020

“Bicton Lodge is an amazing place to stay!”

The cottage is cosy and has everything you need for a fantastic break away. The views from the patio are amazing - sitting in the hot tub is the perfect way to enjoy them! Thomasina was fabulous & did all she could to make sure we had a great holiday.

- Stuart, July 2020
Shelby July 2020

“It’s not what it’s made out to be.”

After reading all of the amazing reviews on this lodge me and my partner couldn’t wait to go. We booked 7 nights away there and we came home early. The lodge is in somebody back gardens, you don’t have any privacy. It fails to tell you that you are miles and miles away from any kind of shop. We had the owners son just walk straight into our gardens no warning not even a text message to check the hot tub. In the owners back garden there is a punch bag for the son, the son was on the punch bag from around 21:00 till around 22:30. The issue here is the punch bag is on a tree which hang in the garden of the lodge so we had leaves and branches breaking off into the garden right where the hot tub is, also when the bag is punched it hits the fencing of the lodge garden so for 1hr 30 minutes we had constant banging on the fence later on at night. We just didn’t have any privacy whatsoever so we left early. The lodge is only good for a couple of days and if you don’t want to do anything apart from chill at the lodge.

- Shelby, July 2020
Stacey January 2020

“Wow from start to finish, the Lodge has amazing views, beautifully modern and clean.”

Hot tubing under the stars was lovely. On arrival we were greeted and shown around. There was a lovely welcome basket full of goodies. Plenty of walks, great local pubs and facilities, everyone was so friendly. We wished we had booked for longer. We will 100% be back, i can see why Bicton Lodge is always booked. If you are looking for the ideal getaway, then get booking here, you won't regret it.

Steven August 2019

“We were met by the owner Thomasina who gave us a very warm welcome including a basket of local goodies containing: Welsh cakes, Clun ale, lemonade and essentials like tea, coffe, sugar, milk, butter and jam.”

There was also a vase of nice fresh flowers. The Lodge itself is lovely - clean, tidy and well maintained and a great base to return to after a day's exploring, especially the hot tub! This was our first visit to the area and we found the lodge to be central to all the places we wanted to see and a great base for walking, cycling etc. The view from the lodge is beautiful and very relaxing from the cows in the field outside to the green hills in the distance. If you have nice weather as we were lucky enough to enjoy I would highly recommend Powis Castle and Gardens and Carding Mill Valley and the Long Mynd (both National Trust and Simply stunning in the sunshine)! There are lots of great pubs around and we didn't have a bad meal out all week but I would highly recommend the Lion at Leintwardine about 25 mins drive from the lodge, lovely setting by the river, great food and excellent service by friendly staff. If you are considering the lodge all I can say is don't hesitate!

- Steven, August 2019
Chris July 2019

Lee June 2019

“A wonderfully cute cottage with views to die for and very friendly cows next door!”

Just far enough out of town to feel remote and tranquil, but an easy walk into town and to the great pubs Cottage itself is just as advertised, small but perfectly formed and a lovely place to while away the day. Would definitely go back.

L October 2018

“After finding Bicton Lodge on your website everything was as expected.”

Wonderful property - very comfortable, clean, like being home from home. The owner Thomasina was very nice and we had a warm welcome. Thomasina has put a lot of effort into the Lodges binder which has all the information needed in regard to the Lodge and pamphlets of the local amenities, places to visit and eat which was very welcome knowing we are new to the area. The surrounding area was as we were expecting - the outlook from the Lodge is picturesque, very quiet and peaceful - was enjoyed by the three of us. The hot tub was wonderful. My niece who is 10 loved it as we all did. We travelled every day and visited Welsh Pool, Church Stretton, Bridgnorth (the Cliff top railway which is worth a visit) and Ludlow. The scenery was spectacular. This is definitely a Lodge we would stay at again. 10 out of 10.

- L, October 2018
Jessica October 2018

“What a lovely 3 night stay we had at Bicton Lodge!”

We decided to book it very last minute after our wedding as a little family get away and Thomasina was brilliant getting back to us so quickly and having the lodge ready for our arrival! The lodge is perfect for a relaxing getaway away it has all you need and the hot tub and log burner are great. Lovely walks are just on the doorstep and the views from the lodge are lovely. Thank you so much for a brilliant few days as new Mr and Mrs. We will most defiantly be returning :)

Richard August 2018

“A lovely stay in Bicton Lodge.”

The lodge is equipped with everything that you will need for a relaxing break. Beautiful views from the hot tub and garden. Quiet location close to the Shropshire way for walking and within reach of pretty villages for a lazy lunch. Thomasina was delightful, helpful and keeps the lodge maintained to a high standard, thank you.

- Richard, August 2018
Finlay July 2018

“Me and my girlfriend stoped here for a week to escape the business of our lives.”

It was a really nice cottage which we relaxed straight into. the hot tub and the wii made the nights less boring. The Clun village pubs (about a 15 min walk) made for a good trip out one day. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking at escaping from busyness to peace and quiet.

- Finlay, July 2018
Lisa June 2018

“Excellent lodge in beautiful surroundings.”

“It doesn't get much better than this!”

! The cottage was perfect, as were the surroundings. Thomasina was an excellent hostess, she explained everything for us and was available in case we had any problems ( which we didn't!) The whole week was excellent, and the hot tub was an added bonus!

- Gail, June 2018
Clare March 2018

“We had an amazing week at Bicton lodge.”

We were met by Thomasina who was very friendly and really made us feel at home. A welcome basket was a nice touch with Local Ale, Lemonade, Welsh cakes, Tea and Coffee and even mini chocolate eggs (for Easter) which were a hit with my boys. The lodge is decorated to a high standard and was very clean. The log burner was perfect for cosy nights in and the hot tub was great! The kitchen had everything needed and was a real home from home. The village of Clun was a nice walk via the shropshire way and worth a visit for the tea rooms and food at the local pub. We loved it so much that we have booked to return again next year!

- Clare, March 2018
Emily March 2018

“Just got back from an amazing weekend at Bicton Lodge.”

From the moment we arrived we had a wonderful experience from meeting with Thomasina to enjoying the hot tub. The location is perfect. Views from all windows are picturesque. The Lodge is in a very quiet location just a short drive to the nearer village. Everything has been thought of, it was very much a home from home. We really enjoyed relaxing in the hot tub followed by cosying up next to the log burner. We took our 2 year old son. High chair and stair gates were provided. There is also a travel cot you could use. The lodge has been furnished to a high standard and I am sure anyone who stays here will not regret it!

- Emily, March 2018

“Our holiday at this property was just perfect.”

Starting with the fantastic service on behalf of Sykes. The owner of the property is very friendly and attentive. Regarding the property it was just ideal for us. Fantastic facilities, very comfy beds and extremely clean. The kitchen is well equipped, the downstairs is great too, wii games kept us entertained in the evening with the fire going and the hot tub was a real treat. the property is so lovely, its very apparent that the owners have put a lot of thought into it and pay attention to detail, you'll find all you need in the property form extra blankets in bedrooms to baking equipment in the kitchen. Fantastic views form the fab top to bottom double doors in the kitchen and the lounge area. It was so relaxing to wake up to the gorgeous views form the bedroom, fantastic rural getaway location. Just a step away form the lovely village of Clun, some great pubs for a drink and food and a fab starting point for a walk. We did a 5 mile walk and it was excellent, breathtaking views! Overall we would definitely recommend this property, for families or as a base for a romantic getaway for couples.

“Biction Lodge was a fabulous place to stay.”

It was in a great location, with superb view ( especially when it snowed) and we were warmly met by the owner who couldn't have done enough to make our stay the best it could be. We had everything we needed including a wide range of utensils and crockery and even decent pans and knives! We receive lots of local goodies on arrival and enjoyed all the attentions to detail that were in the lodge. It was beautifully decorated and the hot tub was a real treat. We would definitely recommend this property. Thank you

“Bicton lodge is a pretty, tranquil little haven.”

Our 18month old son was in heaven. My wife enjoyed her 30th in a place where her 30s couldnt find her. Very impressed.

“Bicton Lodge is a blissful location for a relaxing break.”

The views of Clun Hill are magnificent and best enjoyed from the hot tub! Thomasina and her boys will do everything they can to meet your needs and I would thoroughly recommend Bicton Lodge to anyone!

“We had a fantastic week.”

Thomasina couldn't have been a more perfect host, she was there if we needed her but unobtrusive otherwise. The cottage is wonderful! Finished to a very high standard. The views from the lounge are amazing. We couldn't have asked for anything more. Wonderful!

The property

A charming detached lodge resting in the countryside landscapes of Bicton near Clun.

Wander past the natural views and into this cosy little hideaway, perfect for couples or friends.

First, you will come to an open plan living, kitchen and dining area, ideal for preparing your favourite dinner time meals, before sitting back in the comfortable armchairs to enjoy the spectacular uninterrupted views of the Clun valley.

A woodburning stove is tucked into the corner, and this room creates a soothing atmosphere for an afternoon reading session.

The kitchen is laced with bright lights and decorated with heritage colours throughout which projects a quality overtone from start to finish.

Take the stairs and you will arrive at a contemporary styled bathroom with attractive features throughout.

This leads round to a double bedroom which holds a calming feel and looks out over the garden.

A super king-size bedroom is adjacent to this, with a far-stretching window backdrop of open fields and greenery.

To the outside of the cottage, lies a lovely gravelled area with furniture, so that you can enjoy a glass of wine, close to the enticing scenery.

If this isn't enough, why not take a soak in the lovely hot tub while you admire the views.

Further afield, the village of Clun will bring you an abundance of wildlife, and beautiful unhindered walking and cycling routes to enhance your stay.

You can also enjoy exploring the historic towns of Bishop's Castle, Presteigne, Ludlow and Shrewsbury.

This retreat is a wonderful escape in a dreamy location.

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.
