About this property
Settled in the historical village of Ironbridge in Shropshire, overlooking the River Severn, rests this delightful detached cottage, 32 Church Hill. Enjoying central location, just paces away from iconic attractions and countryside pubs, this charming cottage is ideal for both family and friends. Park up outside on the road, where you can move your luggage inside with ease and admire the view down to the river. Enter the compact kitchen area, with a feature fireplace and pale grey cupboards, here the chef of the group can use the gas cooker to rustle up treats. Stepping through your holiday home, discover the bright sitting room, here a crackling woodburning stove takes centre stage; kick back and unwind on the sofa in front of the large TV. When dinner is ready, settle down at the elegant dining table and be sure to uncork a bottle of wine to toast to your occasion. Climb upstairs to choose between a king-size double and a single, both offering views of the gorge below. Why not indulge in a bubble bath in the family bathroom or perhaps rinse off in the overhead shower to freshen up? In the morning, pop the kettle on and relish the calming surroundings in the rear court yard as you ponder the excitement of the day ahead. A scenic stroll will lead you to the Industrial landmark of the Iron Bridge and you can brush up on your history at the Ironbridge Gorge Museum Trust. Jump in the car to visit the nearby town of Telford, where you can soak in the sights on the Telford Steam Railway, enjoy a picnic at Chelsea Gardens and marvel at the wildlife at the Exotic Zoo. Settled within the loop of the River Severn is the country town of Shrewsbury, home to a Redstone castle, an 18th century prison, and Shrewsbury Museum & Art Gallery to unveil the past. For a wonderful break, with lots to see and do, choose a stay at 32 Church Hill.
The origin of the Industrial Revolution is known all throughout the world as Ironbridge Gorge. The area is no longer industrial, and most of the former industrial sites have been recovered by nature, creating a unique and attractive wooded valley. The gorge is now a network of trails, bridleways, and rural lanes, while the charming settlement is known for housing the world's first iron-made bridge, which was completed between 1777 and 1779. The Ironbridge Museums Trust, which includes the intriguing Blists Hill Victorian Village, features a collection of eleven industrial and Victorian themed museums, featuring a magnificent selection of pubs, restaurants, stores, and tea rooms. 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, are all within driving distance.

Fascinating finding the back door on first floor. Also found it very odd lying in bed looking at the ceiling with the different angles.but all a very comfortable place. A couple of small details, the cistern needs some attention as the handle had to be returned manually otherwise it kept flushing, the fridge was a little bit on small side could do with a normal sized under counter fridge only and possible a small table top freezer in the laundry room same as we have found in other small properties.

Everything we needed had been thought of. Extremely clean, very comfortable and the welcome basket was really appreciated. Top of my tick list is always a comfy bed and this was definitely met. Set in a lovely area, with fabulous views. We were grateful for the easy parking close to the Cottage. Others have mentioned the walk from the town to the cottage being a challenge and we would agree, but it in no way spoiled our experience. We highly recommend this beautiful cottage.
