“This cottage is beautifully decorated, extremely clean and very warm!”

It was a lovely place to be, even during the floods in Ironbridge. It was near the river but well above it. I could see the river from the bedroom window and lie in bed listening to it and the birdsong. It was ideally placed for walks along the river, and to the shops and lovely cafes of Ironbridge. It was so easy to leave the car just outside.

“Location of cottage was excellent, beautiful surroundings and a stones throw away from Ironbridge shops, cafes and restaurants.”

Lovely comfortable cottage and the owner very kindly left chocolates and wine for our arrival - a lovely touch. Would visit again.
Miss Lewis October 2019

“This was a lovely cottage within Ironbridge area.”

Very comfortable and clean. This was well equipped and suited us for our short stay.
Mr Rowlands July 2019

“Everything was to our expectations, the property had everything we needed although the back area could be made more presentable for use in the long summer nights.”
Mrs Saddleton June 2019

“Foxglove Cottage suited our practical requirements for the two weeks whilst our son was doing work experience at the RAF Museum at Cosford - parking at the property, washing machine and wi-fi!”

It was easy to walk into town and go for walks (when it wasn't raining!!), the local pubs were good, the Ironbridge Gorge museums were all close by and the local CO-OP had a good range.The cottage was quiet and comfortable and we appreciated being able to park outside at any time.
Mr Glen April 2019

“Excellent location for the town.”

Many attractions within 20 mile radius and buses to a lot of them. Cottage really ideal for a relaxing break.
Mr Nagy January 2019

“Perfect,tidy,equipped property.”

Very recommended
Miss Foster October 2018

“Great holiday, location ideal for museums, shops, pub.”
Mrs Boorman October 2018

“We had a very happy stay in this cottage which was very comfortable ...”

We had a very happy stay in this cottage which was very comfortable it is situated near to the famous Iron bridge but at present that is being repaired which was a shame but easy to walk to the village for all needed So many places to visit locally and a little further afield also Lovely pretty area Friendly people River Severn opposite the cottage - nice walks Relaxing holiday
Mr Hampton September 2018

“Lovely cottage, will return”
Mr Glen August 2018

“Very good location, clean and modern and about to book for return visit.”
Mrs Boyle August 2018

“Beautiful house.”

Very private and quiet area whilst being walking distance from village. Felt like a home from home. Hope to be back again for another holiday sometime.
Mrs Stagg July 2018

“The cottage was very conveniently located only 5 minutes walk from the iron bridge itself.”

It was well stocked with everything needed for a holiday and the `welcome` bottle of wine, Maltesers and milk were very much appreciated. The next door neighbour was also very friendly! Getting an Ironbridge Gorge Trust ticket which gives you entrance to 10 museums is well worth the cost with Blists Hill Victorian Town being the highlight for my 2 grandchilldren. But I would also recommend visiting Much Wenlock which was the inspiration for the modern Olympics, driving or walking along Long Mynd from Church Stretton ( fantastic views but a hairy road to drive on!), Wroxeter Roman City just outside Shrewsbury, Shrewsbury itself and a bit further afield Pontcysyllte Aqueduct, Llangollen and Chirk Castle. The excellent weather helped!
Mrs Jones May 2018

“Lovely cottage.”

Lovely location. Perfect break
Mr Puzey April 2018

“The cottage is perfectly located for walking into Ironbridge.”

You could not park much closer in public car parks. Central for all the museums and a nice walk down to the river. Only downside was the very uncomfortable seating in the lounge with just one comfortable chair. TV could only receive BBC channels but that's not what you go on holiday for.
Mrs Benwell April 2018

“We had a great stay in this cottage.”

There is no downstairs loo, which is important to be aware of, but it was super cosy - the central heating was very powerful, despite single-glazed windows. Loads to see in the local area - it was a great base for exploring.

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.
