Beautifully situated cottage with fantastic views of the Ironbridge. We wouldn’t usually book a cottage without parking, however I can honestly say in this case it wasn’t an issue. The car park is a very short walk over the iron bridge and with the added bonus of being able to pay online made it extremely easy. The cottage itself was well presented with an authentic Victorian feeling to the decor and furniture. There are a few finer details that could do with attention, for example the outdoor light wasn’t working so arriving after dark in winter required a torch and a few bits of peeling wall paper but this is being very very picky. We would definitely book again!

We had a fabulous few days at the apartment in the centre of Ironbridge. It is in an area we love and it was so special to be right in the centre of Ironbridge itself, overlooking the river and the bridge with its truly spectacular views. We instantly felt at home in the snug and cosy apartment. We had everything we needed and loved our stay. The owner was very easy to contact and extremely helpful. We cannot rate this apartment highly enough and intend to return very soon. Thank you
