About Bicton Lodge

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.

Bicton Lodge Reviews

Darren
We loved our stay at Bicton Had a great New Years Eve The lodge war ... We loved our stay at Bicton Had a great New Years Eve The lodge war fantastic Only thing just a little thing is maybe a large canopy umbrella for when your in the hot tub in poor weather Apart from that it was perfect
A truly wonderful cottage in a gorgeous location. Private, very comfortable and excellent facilities. A lovely welcome pack, and the hottub 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 uplighting 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.
Lovely friendly welcome by the owner, to the extremely clean and tidy lodge, in a very private location. Very comfortable and felt at home very quickly.
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!
Darren
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.
Sandra
Lovely little lodge, very clean and everything as required. Host was very friendly and helpful. Would definitely recommend. Great base for visit to Shropshire.
I had a perfect week with my daughter. The views are breath taking. The cottage was everything and more. The bed was so comfortable
Hayley
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 friendlychatty and is on hand for anything you may need.
Stuart
Everything youd want in a rural Cottage stay in a great quiet location with an attentive owner who was available should you have any issues of which we had none. We would definitely stay at the property again for a rural Shropshire escape. You are
Brilliant location very peaceful. Great owners . Thank you for a wonderful stay we will be back
A wonderful week in Bicton Lodge! Everything we needed, fabulous comfy beds and a lovely host. Just what we needed to explore Shropshire
Top notch place with the best owner you could wish for
Matthew
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
Wonderful little place for well needed bit of relaxation an quite. Kitchen is well equipped an the beds are so comfy
We had an amazing time. The property was lovely and we was met and greeted by Thomasina who was very friendly and couldn't do enough for us.id have no problem thoroughly recommending anyone to book and stay here,we will probably be back ourselves.
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
Jennifer

Timothy
Lovely delightful stay in the cottage in the beautiful clun hills. Would recommend this cottage. Wouldve happy to come back sometime
Kelsey
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 blanketsthrows in cottage to make it cosy
Andrew
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.
Really lovely cottage. Owner was so friendly and discreet.
Lindsay
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.
Andrew
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.
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.
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.
Rebecca
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 undercounter 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.
Leslie
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.
Claire
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!!
Helena
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.
We absolutely loved our stay at bicton lodge,. So much we have booked again whilst we were there. Would highly recommend xxx
Sophie
Fantastic stay, property was beautiful, clean and had everything we needed. Its quite far from main towns so be prepared to drive to the local shopspubs. Would definitely recommend and visit again.
Great little place. Loved star gazing in the hot tub. Very clean and has everything you need.
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 didnt see it. The owner , Thomasina, was extremely helpful . We will definitely be back.
Beautiful area, great lodge, very clean. Takes a while to get anywhere but great for a quiet retreat.
Anastasia
The lodge is beautiful and has amazing views over fields. It has everything you need for a holiday and the hot tub is great.
Great cottage, immaculately presented.
Natalie
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 510 minutes drive away. We had a fantastic holiday and would recommend to anyone looking for a quiet, comfortable and relaxing break.
Fly blinds could be helpful for the summer months as you will have the doors open most of the time. Other than that was a lovely stay
Very friendly owner. Great location for cycling and walking. Very quiet. Wonderful holiday.
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.
