  • "We could not fault anything."

    The cottage was well equipped, clean and cosy, everything we needed for our week in Shropshire. Would highly recommend a stay in this beautiful part of England and this cottage would provide a good base with plenty of places to visit and a selection of eateries.

  • "The cottage was perfect!"

    It was a bit bigger than the impression I got from the photos and just as tastefully decorated and furnished. We found everything we needed and little touches like spare bedding, should it be required, showed a lot of thought had gone into making guests comfortable. The setting was ideal and parking with the permit in the car park was very convenient. Anyone with mobility issues would find the steps between the car park and the cottage tricky although you can reach the cottage by car but you can't park there, only pick up and drop off.

  • "Bridge View Cottage has a picturesque location, with views of the river and Ironbridge from its main bedroom."

    The owners have given a good deal of thought to equipping and furnishing the cottage to make it comfortable and laid out to make good use of its potential. We enjoyed staying in it! The information received in advance was excellent and the owners very helpful in what they passed on to us. Check in was straightforward, and there was plenty of info available in the cottage itself. The 'welcome' treats were very much appreciated. There is a lot to see and do nearby. We hardly used the car all week! An aspect to consider, though, is access to the cottage itself in relation to parking and getting into Ironbridge. There are steep stone steps up to the main car park and bridge. At night time and in wet weather these steps were not easy - so if you're mobility is limited this would make access to/from the cottage quite challenging. Yes, we ould commend the cottage. We had a lovely stay here at Bridge View Cottage.

    Even managed to park under the bridge! Everything was catered for and more. Very clean and tidy and very comfortable beds too. Hosts went above and beyond to ensure their guests had everything they needed from umbrellas, torches, batteries, kitchen foil, handwash and washing up kit. Also some cookies and a bottle of fizz! Thank you and I would love to make a return booking at some time in the near future. Only negative was the toilet flush needed some TLC.

  • "This property was in a beautiful location and comfortable accommodation."

    The stairs to the bedrooms, bathroom and toilet were very steep. This ought to be highlighted. Also, the washing machine was not in working order and had not been published on the website as such, this was due to the flooding of the river Severn. Otherwise, a lovely place to stay and so convenient for siteseeing.

  • "A lovely, clean cottage very convenient for the museums in Ironbridge."

    The parking in the council car park was not a problem but walking through increasingly muddy puddles and up lots of wet stone steps to the car did get frustrating. The cottage was well equipped (although the games in the cupboard seemed to have suffered water damage and a second oven shelf would have been helpful). There is a good sized garden at the front of the cottage. Unfortunately there was lots of rain during our stay and we spent one night quite concerned by the flood warnings and advancing water from the Severn.

    It is a picturesque cottage in a picturesque setting! I could have stayed much longer! This was a cozy, little, yet spacious, cottage under the bridge by the river. It had everything we needed for a weekend stay, and more! Everything is though of here! Even spare bulbs and batteries, flash lights for night walks to and from the cottage and a welcome pack of biscuits, milk and prosecco! The house was extremely clean and was truly a home from home. The log fire after a cold day roaming the area was lovely The hosts were friendly and sent clear communication and were quick to respond to queeries. There was also a good information folder at the property. The only point I would make is that the property is down a private road where parking outside the property isn't possible. Loading and unloading is fine.We knew this when we booked, and it wasn't an issue for us. However it could be an issue for anyone with slight mobility issues or someone with prams etc. There was a space for us down the lane under the bridge to park- but we did get mucky shoes everytime we had to leave the property and walk to the car or onto the bridge. Navigating the potholes and puddles by torch at night was tricky. However visiting a cottage in a setting like this in the winter, it is expected. There are steps up to the bridge and a carpark above if there isnt room under the bridge. a free parking permit was waiting at the property too for parking in any council carparks. Brilliant! We would highly recommend this property and would not hessitate to return. I can only imagine how glorious this place would be on a Summers day! You will not be dissapointed if you stay here. Thank you!

    However I was very disappointed at the access arrangements for Bridge Cottage as the holiday was to be shared with my elderly parents. The original description stated “there are steps to the nearby car park” On arrival I discovered there were 30 very steep steps to the car park not to mention three steps just to the front path. Inside the cottage the guest guidance needed to be properly updated and not just tipexed! I understand that owners have been requested to limit what they leave for guests however I would have appreciated a carton of milk and a small jar of instant coffee instead of an out of date voucher for a non existent shop! Ironbridge as a town is lovely.

  • "First time to Ironbridge and booked Bridge View Cottage."

    The directions we got from the owners were spot on and we managed to get the car parked under the bridge where the owners mentioned. Failing this we had a resident pass to park in the station car park which had loads of spaces. The cottage is about a 30 second walk from the bridge and a couple of minutes from the main street in Ironbridge. The cottage itself was nice and cosy with everything you need to relax. There is a decent size garden at the front of the property for kids to run round. It gets very dark on a night as there is very little street lighting, however the owners have left two small torches by the front door for people to use on their way home. The cottage is in an ideal location as all of the facilities in Ironbridge are in walking distance. On the way to the cottage we followed the sat nav. We ended up going down a hill, past Blists Hill Victorian Town and the sat nav wanted us to turn right at the bottom of the hill. Unfortunately the road it tried to take us along was closed when we were there. We had to drive back up the hill to a roundabout, eventually the sat nav kicked in and re-directed us. The cottage was very clean and tidy when we arrived. Can definitely recommend B\ridge View Cottage if you are planning on spending some time in Ironbridge.

The property

This delightful end-terrace cottage offers a wonderful location in the heart of the historic Shropshire town of Ironbridge.

Full of character, the property is within walking distance of the famous bridge itself, making a charming and romantic holiday home.

With a genuine country cottage feel throughout, the ground floor has a sitting room with woodburning stove and a cosy atmosphere.

The country kitchen is well-equipped with amenities and includes a Belfast sink and a separate dining area, with a feature fireplace and exposed beamed ceilings.

Upstairs houses two bedrooms.

To the rear, a peaceful twin room and to the front, a double bedroom from where you can see the famous Ironbridge itself.

The family bathroom has been well finished, with a shower over bath, basin and WC.

The front of the cottage looks across the river to the town.

It has a large lawned area, with a patio section and furniture.

The rear contains a small patio area, again with furniture.

The location of the cottage is ideal.

Walk back up the bridle path and you are immediately standing across the river from the facilities of Ironbridge with its many traditional pubs, village shops and local tourist attractions and of course, a stroll across the Iron Bridge itself to get there.

With its museums and gorge it is hard to tear yourself away from this wonderful location, but should you wish to explore further afield, Telford is only a few miles drive away, or to the west the vibrant market town of Shrewsbury and the beauty of the Shropshire Hills.

9 Ladywood is a charming cottage housed neatly down a bridle path in the heart of the famous Ironbridge, a wonderful location to explore the historical town and surrounding Shropshire countryside.

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.
