“Tram Cottage is quirky, spotlessly clean and warm with the added benefits of a hot tub and a wood burning stove - but we didn't use either of these.”
We have a wood burner at home and the cottage was warm enough for us without using the fire. I am hampered by a hip repair so didn't feel confident enough to climb in and out of the hot tub, but I'm sure it's as wonderful as other guests have said. The owner is very friendly, as are his sons, and indeed, everyone in the shops was amazingly friendly, kind and helpful. However, the sun room needs either half nets or blinds for privacy.

We have a wood burner at home and the cottage was warm enough for us without using the fire. I am hampered by a hip repair so didn't feel confident enough to climb in and out of the hot tub, but I'm sure it's as wonderful as other guests have said. The owner is very friendly, as are his sons, and indeed, everyone in the shops was amazingly friendly, kind and helpful. However, the sun room needs either half nets or blinds for privacy. We had to sleep downstairs on the sofa bed and you need curtains or blinds of some sort, because the family use the cottage garden for access. Wi Fi is sporadic at best (even with a dongle) and some people would find this a bonus, others not. The cottage is well equipped but a fridge with ice box would be better than a larder fridge. The cottage is very central and you would expect a lot of noise from the shops and 2 pubs very nearby but it's amazingly quiet and the garden is lovely and you don't get the impression you are in the centre of Low Town. Bridgnorth is lovely, and the surrounding areas are stunning - it is a much overlooked part of the country. Much Wenlock and Shrewsbury are well worth a visit.
We liked the cottage but it is not suitable for anyone with walking/mobility issues and the reason we wouldn't go back is because I have mobility problems. But we couldn't fault the friendliness or generosity of the owners - lovely little touches of welcoming wine, biscuits, tea etc and bath products. Give it a go yourselves - there are a lot of return visitors!
