"George Cottage is set in the small town of Clun."
The cottage has numerous walk maps, a 'library' of books and is very well equipped.
Outside, is a patio/shrubbed garden. Plenty of seating.
Clun is located in the middle of beautiful country side, most of which is reasonably hilly. The Shropshire Way can be accessed by Clun Castle. The walk is undulating through beautiful scenery.
Would we revisit? Most certainly. Lorraine and David, owners of the cottage were in touch to make sure everything was O.K.

"Lovely cottage."
V clean and tastefully decorated. 5-minute walk into Clun. Kitchen v well equipped. Lounge v cosy with effective woodburner. Bedrooms small but cosy with great views of hills. Nice garden for barbies plus good view. V close to great walks. Loads of maps and tourist brochures (don't miss Follies and Land of Lost Content). Owners friendly and v helpful. 2 good pubs in Clun but Sun is better value for food. Also well-stocked Spar. No butchers. We 2 couples and 2 dogs loved it.

"We had a lovely week's holiday in George Cottage."
We are 3 adults. It was warm and comfortable albeit cottage size. The high lights were the lovely cottage kitchen and the wood burner that made the living room super cosy. The weather was wild. Clun is ideal if you are wanting a walking holiday.

"Beautiful old cottage in the perfect location."
We were looking for a quite place so we could unwind without the hustle and bustle of the outside world and that's exactly what we got. We shut ourselves in with the roaring log burner only venturing out to explore the church, castle, pubs and local shops. The scenery is amazing and the area is perfect for walkers but we extremely lazy and spent most of our time unwinding in this cosy cottage. As the description says, the stairs are a bit steep so would be a little tricky if you have any mobility issues and the upstairs bathroom is a little cramped but there is also a bathroom downstairs with plenty of room. Overall George cottage is a lovely place to stay with all the charm and character of a very old cottage.

"George Cottage is set in a very peaceful location, with beautiful views to the front."
Clun is very quiet but the local people are all really friendly, and directed us to nearby walks for the dog. The surrounding countryside is lovely, with many footpaths (though not all suitable for off-lead dog walking due to livestock), and the local shop is really handy.
The cottage itself has lots of character, though the bedrooms and upstairs bathroom are rather tight for space. The details warned about the steep stairs, but the upstairs hallway floor is also not very flat! This aspect, plus the step into the shower and steps in the garden means it was slightly awkward for someone not entirely secure on their feet. However, the kitchen was well-equipped, the beds were comfortable and the dog treats much appreciated!

"As feedback to improve - No water in morning immersion needs to come on earlier and would benefit a deep clean to clear some cobwebs from ceilings,etc."
A bit mean on towels we were only 2 in 5 bed received no discount but only 2 towels provided.
But generally pleased with accommodation.
Owner Response: Thank you for your feedback and comments and to clarify your points:
The immersion heater is set to come on 3 times per day, 7am then 3pm and then 9pm to ensure that there is always a tank of hot water.
With regards to the deep clean to clear some cobwebs I have raised this with my cleaner and asked her to be more vigilant in future. But by way of an explanation and not an excuse the cottage was built in 1658 and constructed with old material and has wooden beams throughout and we have come to realise that the cobwebs appear on a regular basis.
Each guest is provided with one set of towels a bath sheet and hand towel. During our pre-arrival discussion you informed us that there was only going to be 2 guests staying so we provided 2 sets. You made no mention of requiring earlier hot water or extra towels.
Also at no time during your stay did you contact either us or Kat to ask for any changes to be made to the cottage set up or that you needed extra towels.
With regards to a discount because there was only 2 people that is not Sykes policy you book and pay for the cottage not the number of people staying.
Once again thank you for your feedback and I hope to see you again at George Cottage.

"The cottage was very well equiped, with far more 'extra's than the normal cottage rental."
Unfortunately the hot water supply failled and was unable to be fixed for our stay, BUT it didn't interfere too much with our stay as other facilities were available (eg electic showers / dishwasher etc). Lorraine ( and David) the owners were easy to contact and provided as much help as possible in this matter.

We felt very much that we were in a home and not a rental. All the facilities within the town were as described and there was a plethora of information about all the local towns and activities available within the cottage itself.
A really relaxing break and definitely on the list for a return.

"As we were going to a family wedding we needed somewhere central to our venue that's why Clun was chosen and the cottage was the bonus."
To sleep 5 and offering so many extras we could not praise it high enough . It offered us as a family somewhere special to get together ( something we're not able to do as often as we would like ) Staying there gave us the extended stay after a wonderful wedding a holiday to remember .We would love to stay again many thanks again .

"George Cottage suited us down to the ground."
There were some lovely welcoming touches and we were able to walk and cycle straight from the house everyday. The situation of the cottage in Clun is convenient for great pubs, cafes and shops. The sound of the church bells across the road is a delight. We loved this cottage- it was not too fussy as it is set up for walkers, cyclists and dog lovers. It was perfect for us, with lovely beds, two bath/shower rooms and comfy sofas for the evening. Parking on the narrow lane could be tricky and so it was great to have our own parking area.
