Ironbridge Gorge is famous around the world for being the birthplace of the Industrial Revolution. The area is no longer industrial, and nature has reclaimed the majority of the previous industrial sites, creating a unique and picturesque wooded valley. The gorge is now a network of trails, bridleways, and rural lanes, and the charming settlement is notable for housing the world's first iron-made bridge, built between 1777 and 1779. The community boasts a wonderful selection of pubs, restaurants, shops, and tea rooms, and the Ironbridge Museums Trust is made up of ten industrial and Victorian themed museums, including the thrilling Blists Hill Victorian community.

Very comfortable bed. It is however very small with some low ceilings & the stairs are very narrow & steep - not suitable for everyone. Unfortunately we had a few issues with the hot water - despite it being a combi boiler system whilst the water was hot enough in the sinks it was only lukewarm in the powerful shower. Someone was sent out to sort it but it didnât make a noticeable difference. It was a real shame as everything else was of such a high standard.

Cottage very clean, bed comfortable, everywhere tastefully furnished. Very impressed with Coalbrookdale, great walks and sights of interest. Very friendly local pub. The Furnace cafe worth a visit.

It was clean and tidy and in a great location. However, one of the main reasons for us booking it was the listed Wood Burner which turned out not to be working when we arrived (the listing had been edited to say this was not ready until 2024 after we had booked). The water heating was also too temperamental, having to try and get the tap in the perfect position to get any hot water at all; this to me is a basic that should be sorted. Finally, the wifi is shared between several cottages which makes it largely unusable with a poor connection and constant buffering. This is also unacceptable given the price paid for the stay. All issues were mentioned to the owners, but it didnât seem they were too keen on resolving them to be honest, maybe given the time of year that we visited.
