The accommodation’s location is excellent, the amenities in the village great; but, unfortunately, the flat is lacking tlc, and in need of a refurbishment in our opinion. We reported the dreadful state of the frying pan to the owner, but nothing was done about it. Also, no instructions were provided regarding waste disposal.

After a couple of issues on check-in, which were sorted very quickly by the owners we settled into our accommodation. It’s a fantastic location with views of the Ironbridge from the main living area and the main bedroom. Good space., the furniture and beds were comfortable. Car parking is just across the bridge and the property close to all the shops and pubs. During our day we tried the local cafés and pubs and we did not have a bad meal anywhere. Some great local walks as well, a great place to stay if you’re just looking for something chilled.
