    The bedrooms however were a tight squeeze but hey this is an old cottage and added to the character. The stair were fine and easily manageable. In November with cooler weather the cottage was warm and pleasant to stay. It was a shame we could not utilize the garden area which looked inviting due to the time of year. Parking was not an issue although the approach down an unmade lane was interesting and thank goodness we did not have to walk the lane as there was a short path from the cottage up to the road. Good walks from the cottage and handily placed for local pubs who do good food in both directions. Great location for exploring Ironbridge Gorge and the surrounding area and recommend a visit to Wroxeter roman city then onto Shrewsbury. Also Much Wenlock is a good trip with a visit to the Priory as well as Buildwas Abbey close by. For those energetic, a walk up The Wrekin is worthwhile for the views.

    The lovely water-side garden was fantastic to chill at the end of a day out, but it was also great that there were two nice pubs just a few minutes walk away in each direction. The Cottage was really cosy and well-equipped, and the welcome basket was a lovely addition. We'll definitely be recommending to friends.

    It’s a lovely little cottage perfect for visiting Ironbridge and the surrounding area. Cottage is well equipped and very comfy. We enjoyed having our breakfast outside every morning and sitting in the garden of an evening in the gorgeous sunshine. We will definitely be back.
