It is a quirky cottage full of character, and it felt very homely for our stay. Conveniently located just a short walk down into the centre of Ironbridge.
Lindsey
We had a fantastic time there, whilst the bedrooms are a bit small, the downstairs with the extension was very comfortable and having the log fire was so cosy on a cold winterâs night. It is easy to walk to 3 pubs and Ironbridge, so it is a brilliant place to e polite the gorge. The nearby Jackfield Tile museum is worth a visit.

Unfortunately due to cold weather we didn't sit in the garden but it would be lovely to sit and watch the river. Welcome hamper was very much appreciated and generous. Cottage was spotlessly clean, warm, comfy beds, powerful shower, amazing log fire (we took our own logs but plenty were provided and you could easily buy more on a honesty box basis). We found parking to be fine in a Toyota Yaris . If you park at Jackfield Tile Museum take the road opposite (Church Road) and by the Church Road name sign there is a footpath and on the left you will see iron handrail (the path down from the railings will take you to the cottage). Easy walk into Ironbridge on the flat (about a mile). Black Swan pub is 5 minute walk and serves lovely food and is very friendly and welcoming. Yvonne and Steve
