We recently stayed at this great cottage. Wonderful surroundings with open views over the valley. Everything you could possibly need for a relaxing break was available in the cottage. Champagne, butter, cheese, milk, bread, jam, sponge cake, red wine - all provided by our gracious hosts. This cottage is ideal for anyone wishing a comfortable relaxing break yet within easy travelling distance of all that Shropshire has to offer. Cannot recommend highly enough. We were sorry to leave a day early but had family commitments. PS - great log burner.
Dick Turpin cottage is lovely and located in a most beautiful part of Shropshire, we look forward to returning later in the year. Roger is a perfect host and has thought of everything to make his guests feel welcome and very comfortable. Christmas morning we walked through the woods at the back of the cottage and came back to a cosy fire and a glass of Cockford aperitif - thank you Roger, it was delicious! We played music through the very clever sound system (that can be heard in every room if you wish) before watching a film in the afternoon while toasting our toes - bliss! The village of Clun is only about a mile away and although we didn't get chance during this visit to try out the local pub, we can certainly recommend the florist/greengrocer shop and butcher, everyone was so friendly, produce was fresh and locally sourced. See you in a few months Roger when we hope to stay again. PS A big thank you for going to so much bother with the Christmas tree and garlands - it was all so lovely.
The cottage exceeded our expectations by a mile. The location is fantastic and the peace is remarkable, no road noise, just the sounds of the birds, the sheep and the babbling brook. The decor is beautiful, full of imagination and flair with so many interesting things to capture your attention. Everywhere is spotlessly clean with vases of fresh flowers to add to the welcome. The welcome pack is very generous and just when we thought we had found everything, we found a large chocolate cake! Roger and Burkhard have thought of everything and are certainly the perfect hosts. Thank you very much.

This cottage fully deserves its 5-star rating. It is beautifully appointed, full of interesting artifacts and in a glorious location. A 'welcome hamper' greets the guests on arrival, containing milk, butter, eggs etc. but also champagne! The owner is next door, and nothing is too much trouble for him. The views from the terrace are superb, as are the walks in the woods above the terrace. If it's cold and rainy, you either click on the central heating or light the wood-burning stove. The kitchen has every appliance you may need. On the other hand, that area has some excellent eating places, some with Michelin stars.

This was our fourth stay at Dick Turpin cottage in two years and was as magical as our first visit.
The cottage is well appointed and comfortably furnished in an 'eclectic' way. The extensive grounds are available for guests to ramble at will, or one can just relax and enjoy the views of the Shropshire hills.
The village of Clun is close by and is served by two very good pubs. The White Horse in particular serves very good food.
Above all Roger ( the owner and neighbour ) is the most perfect host.
We have just returned home from a week at this beautiful cottage and once again have had an amazing time. Roger and Burkhard have been such fantastic hosts and even gave us an Easter egg (along with lots of other lovely treats, including an Easter tree and gardens). Once again we were able to relax in this beautiful part of the world and we can't wait to come back again soon to this beautiful cottage.
A fantastic cottage, peaceful and enchanting. We could not have asked for a more relaxing stay. This was our third visit and will definitely not be our last.
