“Folly Cottage was a lovely house that was very well furnished and equipped.”

The garden was lovely and supplied with numerous bird feeders that attracted a very wide range of birds, which delighted us all. The cottage is located in a very convenient place with numerous interesting places within a short distance, such as the many Ironbridge museums, Buildwas abbey, Much Wenlock priory, Shrewsbury, Stokesay, Ludlow and Acton Burnell castles and Boscobel House. The only minor drawback is that the road at the front is busy and can be noisy at times.

“We had an absolutely fantastic time during our two week stay at Folly Cottage.”

It quickly felt like a home from home for us. Mike and Rachael were perfect hosts, with great attention to detail in providing little finishing touches to the accommodation before we arrived. The cottage was spotlessly clean, very well equipped and has cosy but very well laid out rooms. It is even better to experience than the pictures suggest. We hope to be able to return again sometime soon.

“This cottage was really a 'home from home' If all cottages were up to this standard I would book more.”

The location was excellent for places like Ironbridge, Shrewsbury and Ludlow.

“Lovely cottage to stay at”

Beautiful gardens surround this well restored barn with plenty of beams and old fashioned charm mixed perfectly with all the usual kitchen appliances, wood burner in the lounge, central heating and wonderful warm duvets in well appointed bedrooms. One of the most restful places we have ever stayed at.

Rachael and Mike exceed by a mile what is usually expected.

About the location

IRONBRIDGE

Telford 6 miles; Bridgnorth 8.5 miles; Shrewsbury 15 miles.

Ironbridge Gorge is known throughout the world as the birthplace of the Industrial Revolution. Today the area is far from industrial and nature has reclaimed most of the former industrial sites, leaving a unique and beautiful wooded valley. The gorge is a now a maze of footpaths, bridleways and country lanes whilst the delightful village is famous for being home of the world's first iron-built bridge, built between 1777-79. The village has a splendid variety of pubs, restaurants, shops and tea rooms and a collection of ten industrial and Victorian themed museums makes up the Ironbridge Museums Trust, including the exciting Blists Hill Victorian Village. Within driving distance are the popular historical towns of 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. Ironbridge is a wonderful base from which to explore the beautiful county of Shropshire.
