Nestled near the banks of the River Severn in the gorgeous setting of Ironbridge, a large, historic village in the borough of Telford, lies this delightful, first-floor apartment, The Arms House. With tastefully-preserved, historic interiors, a well-presented, open-plan living space, and superb access to nearby amenities and attractions, this charming property welcomes four guests and two well-behaved dogs for an exciting, self-catered stay in the heart of Shropshire. After you've unpacked, make yourself at home in your new lodgings by rustling up a feast in the fully-equipped kitchen, before settling down with your loved ones at the dining table or in the sitting area to savour your meal whilst you watch a film or two on the sleek Smart TV. As the day rolls into the night, indulge in a long, hot bath before retiring to one of two king-size bedrooms, both waiting to whisk you away to a night of well-earned rest ahead of a brand-new, fun-filled day. After you've finished sipping your morning coffee on the Juliette balcony whilst soaking in views of the stunning Ironbridge Gorge, take time to explore your local area by walking into the village, where you can stock up on essentials at Star Newsagents And General Store, pick up a tasty pie from Eley's Pork Pies, settle down for a spot of tea at Tea Emporium, or enjoy a sit down meal at La Casita Bar Tapas or Suree's Kitchen, if you fancy a break from cooking one evening. You'll also find plenty to do and see whilst you're in Ironbridge, such as visiting the Iron Bridge Tollhouse Museum, the historical landmarks of Patten's Rock Quarry and the Bedlam Furnaces, with other noteworthy attractions including the Blists Hill Victorian Town, the Coalport China Museum, and the National Trust location of Benthall Hall being just a brief car journey from your new, idyllic dwelling. Enjoy all of this and so much more when you book a stay at The Arms House.
Ironbridge Gorge is known throughout the world as the birthplace of the Industrial Revolution. Today the area is far from industrial and nature has reclaimed most of the former industrial sites, leaving a unique and beautiful wooded valley. The gorge is a now a maze of footpaths, bridleways and country lanes whilst the delightful village is famous for being home of the world's first iron-built bridge, built between 1777-79. The village has a splendid variety of pubs, restaurants, shops and tea rooms and a collection of ten industrial and Victorian themed museums makes up the Ironbridge Museums Trust, including the exciting Blists Hill Victorian Village. Within driving distance are the popular historical towns of Shrewsbury, Bridgnorth, Much Wenlock and Ludlow, as well as the Wroxeter Roman City, the Severn valley Railway, the RAF Cosford Museum and many National Trust properties. Ironbridge is a wonderful base from which to explore the beautiful county of Shropshire.

Very clean and well maintained. Property and location were perfect for us, for an enjoyable weekend break. Would highly recommend.

The flat is full of character and decorated with care. The views were second to none and the location in Ironbridge itself was truly special.There was a few things which could make slight improvements. - it said on the listing there was a washing machine but there wasn't. We did plan on washing some of our young son's clothes, it's not a massive issue but it's to bear in mind. - a welcome basket would have been a nice touch. We arrived quite late, meaning we couldn't grab any bits for the morning. Some coffee, tea bags and milk satchets would have been nice. This isn't a deal breaker by any stretch and didn't spoil the stay. - some of the cupboards felt a little 'lived in.' the cleaning cupboard under the sink was what you would expect to find at home, Christmas tree in the storage space and spare bulbs etc. again, it's fine but a little attention to detail would really elevate this already brilliant property. - parking was a little tricky at times as the road leading up to the property and parking area was tight. If you have a bigger car (which we do, unfortunately) it can be a bit touch and go with the walls! - having said all that, we loved staying here, the location was great and perfect for our needs. The flat was lovely, well presented, comfortable and spacious. We'd happily stay here again.

There were loads (at least 30) dead ladybirds and about a dozen live ones on the property plus dead (decomposed) flies in webs at windows, bathroom floor had dirty drip marks and the wall by the sink dirty soap & toothpaste splashes also narrow groove behind sink was very dirty. Putting the above to the side, the property has potential to be lovely (if cleaning was improved) as it is very comfortable, fabulous location and loads to do in Ironbridge.
