About this property

Settled in the heart of Clun in the Shropshire Hills AONB is this pretty, semi-detached cottage, Rosemary Cottage. This dog-friendly cottage has three bedrooms sleeping up to five guests, ideal for families, friends or couples to enjoy a relaxing break and walking holidays, complete with a fully-equipped kitchen, Smart TV, woodburning stove, and attractive furnishings throughout. After parking on the roadside, leave your boots in the porch before making yourself at home in the kitchen, where you'll find everything you need for a self-catering holiday, including a washing machine and dishwasher. Next door lies the spacious living/dining room where you can gather for dinner around the table for six, set by an original feature stone wall, followed by a film night in the sitting area with plush seating to sink into. Completing the cottage are three nicely appointed bedrooms with storage space and homely decor; two doubles and a 2'6" single. There is also a contemporary bathroom and a shower room, so you can unwind after long walks through the Shropshire Hills. In the morning, you'll find a small patio area with outdoor seating to savour your morning coffee whilst planning the day's adventures. The picturesque town of Clun is a superb base in Shropshire where you can dine at the Sun Inn just over the road, The White Horse Inn, and stop for breakfast at The Maltings Cafe, while you can stock up at the local convenience store. A stroll around the town will bring you to a selection of historic sites and architecture, including The Old Bridge across the River Clun, Clun Town Trust Museum, and the 13th-century ruins of Clun Castle with sweeping views of the surrounding countryside. Surrounding Clun are plenty of walking and cycling paths, such as Offas Dyke, whilst you can explore the likes of Bishop's Castle, home to the quirky House on Crutches Museum and the dog-friendly Three Tuns Inn. Head to Craven Arms where you can discover a collection of memorabilia at the Land Of Lost Content, try a range of activities at Shropshire Hills Discovery Centre, and tour the medieval Stokesay Castle. Further afield, you'll find the market town of Ludlow for the impressive Ludlow Castle, or perhaps explore more of the hills at Shropshire Hills Mountain Bike & Outdoor Pursuit Centre. However you spend your holiday, make Rosemary Cottage your home-from-home in Shropshire.

Clun was referred to as "the quietest place under the sun" in the poem A Shropshire Lad by A.E. Houseman. Clun is a picturesque village in the South Shropshire Hills, known for its Saxon church, thriving river, and pack horse bridge (built in the 14th century). It is in an area of outstanding natural beauty close to The Marches, and is located on the Shropshire Way. In this pristine area of Britain, you may enjoy the outdoors in peace and see an abundance of native wildlife. Kerry Ridgeway, Offa's Dyke, and the Clun Forest are all within easy driving distance. May is the time of the annual Green Man event. Bishop's Castle, Presteigne, Ludlow, Shrewsbury, and Hereford are all within driving distance from Clun.
