Description
Settled in the grounds of a Grade II listed vicarage in the sought-after area of Madeley, Shropshire, is this fashionable, detached property, Coach House at Old Vicarage.
Located in the Ironbridge Gorge World Heritage Site, the Old Vicarage is steeped in history, having been home to John Fletcher, a close friend of Charles Wesley and the founders of Wesleyan Church.
Behind the Listed gate piers is an enclosed area with parking in the grounds, perfect for two couples.
Step inside to discover the spacious kitchen/diner, certain to entice budding chefs with its electric oven and hob; when dishes are piping hot, gather at the dining table and toast to your hideaway.
Moving through the home, admire the hard wooden floors as you locate the sitting room, bright and airy with a TV to find your favourite shows and a sofa to curl up with a good book.
Throw open the solid wooden gates and let the light floor in, or unwind in the communal garden area, here you can savour a cup of tea on the furniture and soak in the history of your location.
As the weather turns cool, retire inside, and climb upstairs to discover two beautifully presented king-size bedrooms, one with an en-suite shower and both offering high, vaulted ceilings with featured shutters.
Awaken with a rinse in the shower room before rustling a home-cooked meal in the kitchen area or take a short stroll to a quirky café.
For a quick pint there is Six Bells, Madeley, whilst a longer stroll will take you to the All Nations Inn, a historic brew-house and true community pub.
To stock up on essentials, head to Boulton's Butchery, where you'll find fresh, locally sourced meats, a magnificent deli counter and a selection of artisan breads, why not grab some tapas or popcorn for a movie night in Surrounded by scenic walks and a network of cycling trails, head to one of the ten local museums that celebrate the areas industrial heritage, or head to the heart of Telford through the greenery of Telford Town Park or embark on a hike along the South Telford Heritage Trail.
Be sure to visit the historic village of Ironbridge, where you can meander across the world’s first cast iron bridge or enjoy a stroll along the River Severn.
The Ironbridge Gorge Museums, now cared for by the National Trust, offer a fascinating insight into the area’s industrial heritage, and guests with a National Trust membership can benefit from free or discounted entry.
Close by is Blists Hill Victorian Town, an open‑air museum where a traditional fish and chip shop adds to the sights, sounds, and smells of the late 19th and early 20th century.
For those wishing to explore a little further afield, Weston Park and Attingham Park offer great walks and historic country houses, while Bridgnorth, Shrewsbury, and Ludlow are historic towns, each with their own character.
The RAF Museum at Cosford is free to visit and boasts fascinating Cold War exhibits.

What guests are saying
A superb property to stay at, centrally located in Madeley.
Ideally placed to get to Ironbridge and the other areas that were the birth place of the Industrial Revolution. We had no issues with the accommodation and would recommend it.
Very comfortable accommodation with everything we needed.
A lot of thought gone into the facilities and layout of the property. Beds wonderfully comfortable. The TV took a bit of figuring out but we got there. Clare and Nick were very friendly and helpful and nothing was too much trouble for them. Excellent hosts. We would certainly go to Coach House again and enjoy the many attractions within walking distance or short driving distance.
The Coach House was everything we needed in a holiday home except for the fact it only had one toilet.
We had assumed there would be a toilet in the en-suite bathroom so were disappointed there wasn’t especially as we were sharing with friends. However we managed to cope and it didn’t spoil our stay. The cottage is very hi tech so much so we couldn’t work the TV! However Nick the owner responded immediately to our request for help with this. The induction hob was also a challenge but we managed to work that out with the help of Google!! The cottage is ideally situated for Blist Hill and Ironbridge and we enjoyed several meals out locally.
Great property in the grounds of the owners home with plenty of parking and semi private outside space with seating.
Kitchen well equipped. Comfortable beds and also comfy sofas in the lounge. Great shower. TV's in both bedrooms but we didn't use them. Pleasant owners, nothing too much trouble. Location was great too, within walking distance of Blists Hill. Most other places of interest approx. 10 miles away which meant everywhere we needed to go was only a short car journey. We had a great stay and would stay again without hesitation.
Excellent property with Nick and Clare excellent and accommodating hosts.
The property is great for short or longer terms, and is in excellent location near Ironbridge etc.
Beautiful place to stay with very thoughtful hosts.
We knew there was no washing machine, but would have liked one-personal preference and no criticism of the property and what is provided.
Beautiful wel looked after property in gorgeous surroundings and the owners were lovely helpful and informative
Lovely, quiet and relaxing place to stay with everything you need for a perfect holiday.
Well located for visiting Ironbridge, Blisss Hill, Severn Railway and RAF Cosford. Nick and Clare and very friendly and always available to offer directions and recommendations. Madeley has a good Tesco and a fab Artisan Butchers only 5 minutes from the cottage.
Owner very friendly and helpful.
Cottage very well equipped and comfortable, everything that we needed. Plenty of useful information about surrounding area.
Lovely property in a good location.
Nice welcome from the owner who gave us the lowdown of the local area. Gated property which gave extra security when parking the car, though would recommend not parking under the large oak tree!!!
Beautiful property in a lovely location.
It was so quiet and relaxing. Loved the fact that there are security gates at the front of the estate, I felt so safe and secure. Coach House has everything you could want and need to feel at home right away. So clean and cozy, loved the kitchen, kitted out with top of the range appliances. The bathroom was great, loved the shower. Living room is a great size. Bedrooms were lovely and furnished so nicely. Bed was really comfy. Loved the addition of the ensuite shower room. Had a lovely warm greeting on arrival from Clare. Made us feel very welcome. I appreciated the privacy we had on our holiday. I loved it. I'm so sad to have left and I definitely want to stay there again. Highly recommend Coach House for anyone to stay in. Great location for anyone to stay in when visiting the area.
We had a fabulous time at the Coach House and it was lovely that it was situated right at one of the historic properties listed on the Madeley Historic Walking map.
Great location for nearby walks, local attractions, pubs, restaurants and food shopping. Lovely helpful owners who are available to give you assistance when you need it and they also gave us plenty of space to get on with your holiday. A very good location for dog walks with one literally next door and very dog friendly all around.
Excellent,very comfortable with very well equipped kitchen and lovely shower.
Great location for all the local attractions with the bonus of an excellent pub in very easy walking distance. Owners very helpful, thank you.
fantastic cottage everything we needed was in this cottage Claire and Nick said we could go to them if we needed anything, was in the right location for visiting the Ironbridge museums also the surrounding area
The coach house is a wonderfully welcoming property.
The kitchen is finished to a high standard with all the appliances one would wish for. The lounge is large and comfortable with plenty of space. The bedrooms are a good size and the beds arw very cosy, great for having a sleep in. Nick greeted us on arrival, he was very friendly and informative. There is plenty of space to park and the electric gates are closed at night and there is security lighting. I felt very safe and secure and definitely comfortable and relaxed. I would highly recommend the Coach House.
We had a lovely time at the Coach house.
Unfortunately our friends, who had planned to join us, were unable to come. Although very disappointing, it did mean that the bathroom situation was easier as the property only had one toilet, which we were unaware of when we booked. This has now been clarified in the listing. The accommodation was very comfortable and Nick, the owner, was very helpful and accommodating. The pub nearby was pleasant and had vinyl music being played on a Sunday afternoon/evening. Unfortunately they didn’t do any pub meals though. There were lots of shops and takeaways nearby and even a Tesco store, so finding food wasn’t a problem. It was a lovely location for exploring all the interesting sights and places of interest nearby.
Just back from a lovely week at The Coach House.
The property is very clean and comfortable. Kitchen is well equipped. We were spoilt for choice with numerous footpaths for walking the dog.The walk to Telford Town Park is lovely, as is the walk through the woods into Ironbridge. The are a good variety of places to eat within a short distance from the Coach House, we enjoyed meals at The Shakespeare Inn and The Woodbridge Inn.
We were a bit apprehensive after reading a new review.
We needn't have worried at all. It was clean, well equipped and comfortable. The heating when we had to use it was very efficient. The hot water was plentiful and the shower was good. The bed was so comfortable, the best sleep ever. I am going to get a new mattress. We needed sub titles on the television, we couldn't do it. Nick came over straight away and sorted it out for us. It's definitely one I would recommend. Sorry I couldn't say goodbye to you in person.
Very enjoyable holiday in a comfortable property.
Our main problem was we booked the property on the basis of 2 beds & 2 bathrooms. In actual fact one bathroom was a shower room without a toilet. I appreciate that the full description did describe the en-suit as a shower with basin - but it we failed to pick up the lack of a toilet. It would have been helpful if instruction booklets were available for the equipment, but we just muddled through, although the owner did come over and give us a lesson on how to use the television - more of a streaming service than the usual TV. All in all a good property, close to pubs, church and shops , and we enjoyed our holiday.
Thank you for your comments. Firstly, we are both pleased that you enjoyed your holiday and found the Coach House comfortable. The Coach House is an historic property that sits on the boundary of the old Vicarage, we only have access to the front and left side and do not own the land at the rear or right hand side. This makes adding additional toilets difficult. Equally we have a problem fitting a traditional aerial and instead have fitted a large modern smart TV. We note your observations on the instructions and will shortly be reviewing the information booklet. Again we appreciate your comments and are so pleased you enjoyed your stay. Thanks Clare & Nick
We have had a lovely time in Clare and Nick’s cottage.
Very helpful and great hospitality. The only downside was that all the pubs in Madeley do not serve food but there are alternatives in Indian restaurants or a short drive to surrounding places.
Hi Thanks you for taking time to submit your feedback. Madeley itself is quite small and whilst there are 2-3 Indian restaurants the pubs in the immediate area often limit their fare to light lunches. A Mike or two will get you to Coalport & Jackfield where there are a number of places where you can get traditional pub fare and a number of our guests do walk to these places. Ironbridge, Broseley and Norton are only a little further and offer options such as Italian, Spanish and Thai restaurants. Telford, which is only 5 miles away offers traditional pubs and restaurants, but at the recent Southwater development, there is a range of high street favourites including Pizza Express, Nando’s, Wagamama and Miller & Carter. Shifnal has independent restaurants too. Hopefully there is something for everyone! Either way we are pleased that you enjoyed your stay. Kind regards Nick & Clare.
A really lovely homely feel, the owners are nearby and very helpful and friendly, The cottage was extremely well equipped, we would definitely go back again , and recommend it to friends and family
Thank you for your review and the recommendation. We very much look forward to welcoming you back. Kind regards Nick & Clare
We really loved staying at the Coach House.
It's such a peaceful and relaxing accommodation, a Grade II property full of character, yet bursting with all the trappings of modern day living. The perfect, soothing antidote to the madness of this chaotic world, wonderful. The beds were sumptuous, the shower was a perfect blast to kick off the day, the Kitchen covered all bases for our needs, and the Smart TV tech was top notch (once Nick patiently gave us old'uns a full demo!), and of course there was off-road private parking in the gravelled courtyard right next to the property making unloading of cases, etc, super easy. A special mention must be made for owners, Clare and Nick who are just the most gracious of hosts, and are always on hand to offer helpful information about the locality and all it has to offer. Blists Hill, a mere 10 minute walk, was an incredible experience, the local All Nations pub served some tasty heart-warming food together with a 10/10 pint from their own brewery, Ironbridge was a superb destination for a leisurely walk of 3 miles or so (Truffles cafe does lovely food, and a second walk led us to The Black Swan in Jackfield which was a revelation for pub food and a very decent pint indeed!), even a stroll around the local Churchyard offered some magical views across the countryside plus a little bird watching too. All in all, we had a lovely, memorable break at the Coach House, which we actually felt privileged to be able to stay at.
Wow! Thank you so much for such a comprehensive review of the property and the surrounding area. Many of our visitors comment on how much there is to do locally, and certainly there are many walks and cycling options that let you leave the car behind should you choose. Thank you again. Clare and Nick
Great accommodation excellent cleanliness property was in excellent order spotless I would recommend this accommodation to anyone , Thanks
Thank you for taking time to give feedback. We are so pleased that you enjoyed your stay. Nick and Clare
This cottage was absolutely brilliant, clean and comfortable.
Both Claire and Nick were amazing host and I would definitely recommend to everyone.
Thank you so much for your feedback. We are so pleased you enjoyed your time at the Coach House. Warm regards Clare & Nick
Excellent stay in a very comfortable house.
Highly recommend for a stay in Shropshire.

Clean, comfortable, quiet, and well equipped cottage close to many local points of interest.
We had a great week!
Thank you for your observations. We really appreciate your comments and the ratings you have submitted. Kind regards Clare and Nick
PERFECT FOR OUR NEEDS
We appreciate taking time to review and thank you for your ratings. Best regards Clare and Nick
We enjoyed a lovely week at the Coach House.
It is an ideal location to explore the Ironbridge Gorge and surrounding areas. You're within easy reach of all the attractions of Ironbridge, and at the same time able to enjoy the peace of Madeley. The accommodation was very comfortable and had everything we needed. The kitchen was very well equipped for a self catering holiday. Having a supermarket and a butcher within walking distance was also a bonus. Claire and Nick were great hosts, responding to any questions we had and giving us suggestions for places to eat and visit, yet also giving us privacy throughout our stay.
Mike Thanks for such a kind review. We are so pleased you enjoyed your stay, it was our pleasure to host you. Kind regards Nick
Bright, clean, spacious, well equipped property.
Nick and Clare were very attentive hosts. Highly recommended.
It was a pleasure to host you and we thank you for your review. Many thanks Nick and Clare
Myself and my parents enjoyed our stay at the Coach House.
It is really clean, comfortable and well equipped. It's in a nice location, with many places to visit nearby. The owner met us on arrival and was very helpful. We would definitely recommend the Coach House as a base, for anyone visiting the area.
Hi Lynn Thanks for taking time to review your stay. It was a pleasure to host you and we are so pleased everything was to your liking. Kind regards Nick and Clare
A lovely comfortable property.
Very convenient for visiting all local Severn valley attractions. We visited iron gorge museums and travelled the Severn valley railway line. The owners are very welcoming and helpful. Would recommend this property.
Hi Karen We really appreciate your kind comments and observations. So pleased you enjoyed your stay. Kind regards Nick and Clare.
A charming cottage equipped to a very high standard in a very interesting area Nick and Claire who live in the Old Vicarage were extremely helpful even providing a phone charger when the one I'd packed was faulty.
Lovely welcome pack of artisan bread and west country butter and fresh milk However more information on the various appliances would have been useful,
A lovely property, ideally situated for exploring all the attractions of Ironbridge Gorge and beyond.
The owners are very welcoming
Hi Jo Thanks for the feedback. It was a pleasure to host and so pleased that you enjoyed your stay. Kind regards Nick and Clare
Owners were very welcoming and on hand if you need anything.
Cottage is very comfortable and clean. Very well located for all the tourist sites and walking distance to Blists Hill museum.
Thank you for your feedback and kind observations. Best regards Nick and Clare
The Coach House is beautifully appointed, with elegant fixtures and fittings.
The bedrooms feature fine bedding and extremely comfortable beds and it was hard to get up in the mornings! The kitchen has everything to hand and the lounge is spacious and relaxing. There is ample private and safe parking and the garden is a haven of peace. Madeley has shops and restaurants and the location is perfect for Ironbridge. the museums and fabulous walks in and around the River Severn. Clare and Nick are wonderful hosts who could not do enough to make us feel welcome and comfortable. Come and stay and you won't be disappointed.
Hi Chantal Many thanks for your review. It was a pleasure to host you both and we are so pleased you enjoyed your stay. Kind regards Nick and Clare
The Coach House is beautiful, nice and clean.
The bedrooms are brilliant and the beds were very comfortable with quality bedding on them. There’s everything you need in the Coach House to feel home from home. The Wi-Fi was brilliant and there’s free view Tv. The Coach House is in a lovely village, there’s 2 pubs, we would recommend the All Nations pub. Plus the best chip shop to use is Andy’s fish bar in Madeley. We walked from Madeley to Iron Bridge in 40 mins through the wood opposite the Bliss Hill Village, which is another nice place to visit. We would definitely recommend if your thinking of visiting the area book the Coach House you won’t be disappointed
Hi Samantha We are so pleased that you enjoyed the facilities of the Coach House whilst exploring what the local area offers. It was kind of you to take the time to share your views. Thanks for choosing the Coach House. Kind regards Nick & Clare
A superb Coach House converted to a very high standard with large kitchen dinner and lounge, there is a shower room with toilet and two bedrooms (one with an on-suit shower room but no toilet) and the property is situated close by to all amenities and a short distance to many historical sites around the Ironbridge area; in fact walking distance to Blists Hill Victorian museum.
The Coach House is located next to St Michael's delightful Georgian built anglican church and in the grounds of the Georgian Old Vicarage, which has historic links to John Wesley and the early Christian Methodist movement. After the battle of Worcester during the English Civil War, prince Charles, who was later to become Charles ll King of England, was hidden in the village and in other locations not to distant away, which can be visited. One can therefore follow part of Charles's trail as he journeyed to Bristol and then on to Brighton to escape to France. The owners of this property are very helpful and friendly and add pleasure and to one's stay.
Many thanks for such comprehensive feedback. There is so much to discover about the area and its significance. Blists Hill and the associated sites help with imagining how life was in Victorian times but as you have pointed out there is lots more beside this. Thanks also for your kind observations about the property, it was a pleasure meeting you all. Kind regards Nick and Clare
Second visit, lovely welcome.
A well equipped comfortable cottage near shops and pubs. A good base for visiting Ironbridge Gorge Museums, in fact Blists Hill Victorian Town is in walking distance. Would benefit from written instructions for induction hob, extractor fan( which was hidden) and TV. Lovely hosts Nick and Clare. Many thanks
Thank you so much for taking time to give us some feedback. It was great to see you again and a pleasure to host. We will make sure we update the Information folder to include the instructions you have mentioned. Thanks again and best wishes Nick & Clare
Lovely cottage, very clean and spacious.
Wonderful location and excellent, friendly hosts.
Hi Paul Thanks for the kind feedback. It was lovely to meet you and a pleasure hosting you. Kind regards Nick & Clare
It is an absolutely delightful property in the grounds of a stunning house.
We were made to feel very welcome by the owners and enjoyed getting to know the area with all its fascinating history and lovely walks. We will certainly be recommending it to friends and family.
Hi Helen Thanks for taking time to add your review, we value all feedback. It was a pleasure to host you and we are so pleased you enjoyed your break. Kind Regards Nick & Clare
Had a great week again thanks to the hospitality from Claire & Nick.
Cottage well equipped and convenient!
It was great to welcome you back not least as one of the very earliest of guests and one of now several who have chosen a return visit. Thanks as always. Nick & Clare
The location and cottage was lovely.
Our only surprise was that there were none of the normal consumables we have always found in Sykes Cottages. No washing up liquid, handwash, shampoo, spare rubbish bags and no spare toilet rolls. We were able to buy them in the local Tesco but I would suggest that these are relatively cheap for the owners to provide. It would also have been really helpful to have a map of Madeley in the information folder. Showing things to do in Madeley including the Community Orchard which we came upon by chance, the actual footpath to Blists Hill and anything else that would be worth a visit. The temperature in the main shower was also difficult to control. It was not possible to have a cool shower.
We are so sorry that you were disappointed in anyway. It would have been great to have heard some of these comments during your visit as we always provide washing up liquid, dishwasher tablets in the kitchen and a spare toilet roil is kept in the vanity unit. The kitchen has a twin bin for general waste and recycling with the larger outdoor bins across the courtyard. It is rare that people need more capacity, But again additional bags are available upon request. In common with many modern showers, the thermostatic control has a safety button to press when moving from warm to hot and having had a quick look I must assume that it needs to be pressed to allow you to select the cooler settings also. You did mention the shower to us and we offered to get a plumber in but after leaving you 3 messages and getting no reply we had assumed you had overcome this issue. There is also a bowl with a wide selection of leaflets covering local activities. Nevertheless, We are so pleased you enjoyed both the cottage and were able to take full advantage of the location. Thanks for the feedback and best regards. Nick & Clare
Lovely clean, spacious cottage.
Owner very friendly and helpful. Lots to do in the surrounding area. Secure parking.
Thank you so much for taking time to post your review, and thank you too for your kind observations. So pleased you enjoyed the property and the local area. Best wishes. Nick and Clare.
Very well appointed, good for all Ironbridge museums, well within walking distance.
Hi Kenneth Thank you so much for taking time to complete your review. It was good to meet you and we appreciate your kind comments. Nick and Clare
Wonderful property, very well equipped, spacious, extremely comfortable and spotless throughout.
It’s well placed for visiting all the delightful sights and scenery of Shropshire and beyond into Wales. The Blists Hill Victorian town is just a few minutes walk away. Thank you Clare and Nick for your warm welcome and helpfulness. We hope to return.
Hi Angela Many thanks for your kind observations. It was a pleasure to host you and look forward to the possibility of welcoming you back. Kind regards Nick & Clare
A warm welcome from Nick, the owner, and helpful input and advice throughout our stay.
Our first visit to the county, we found the Coach House to be perfectly located to explore the delights of Shropshire. There's so much history, so much to discover; from the Ironbridge Museums to the Roman town at Wroxeter, Medieval Ludlow and the stunning Wenlock Priory. We will be back...
Hi David So pleased that you enjoyed the local area and found the Coach House central to your stay. We look forward to the possibility of welcoming you back. Enjoy the summer! Best regards Nick and Clare.
Property was as described.
Had everything that we needed. Beds were especially comfortable. Meet by hosts who provided us al we needed to know. Location provided an ideal base to explore the Ironbridge museums and nearby by NT. properties, Excellant pub grub nearby The Shakespere, Wooden Bridge, and Surees (tai) Thanks foran enjoyable holiday.
So pleased that you enjoyed your stay and exploring much of what the local area has to offer. It was our pleasure to host you. Nick & Clare
The property is very spacious and is equipped to a very high standard both in the quality of the accommodation and in the wide range of amenities on offer.
We were greeted by the owner who made us feel at home from the outset It is located just a 7 minute drive from Blists Hill museum, if this is part of your plan this is where to stay
Thanks for your kind comments. We are so pleased you enjoyed your stay. Nick & Clare
Our stay at the Coach House was excellent the owners Clare & Nick were very welcoming on our arrival.
The property is well appointed and suited our needs. We would definitely book The Coach House again when next in the area. The Coach House is ideally positioned to visit local attractions Blists Hill Victorian Town only minutes away by car.
Thanks for the positive comments. We would certainly look forward to hosting you again next time you’re in the area. Nick & Clare
We arrived at the Coach House on the exact date that we had got married in St Michael's Church next door 50 years ago.
Madeley has changed! It is still a good base for exploring Shropshire. The Coach House is a very well-equipped, comfortable property with high-quality bedding. It is tastefully decorated and we felt warmly welcomed by Clare and Nick. Thanks for our Golden Week.
It was lovely to host you both and share our respective knowledge of the history of both the Old Vicarage and the Coach House. We also learned a great deal about the wildlife in the garden. So pleased you enjoyed your stay. Warm regards Nick & Clare.
Thoroughly enjoyed my stay , would highly recommend.
Thanks for taking time to review your stay. Your recommendation is much appreciated. Best regards Nick & Clare.
Fantastic.
Location was handy for the shops,and the Iron Bridge Gorge Museams. Blist Hill is a short walk from the Coach House . The owners gave us a great welcome I would recormend this to any one who vists this area
It is always great to receive good feedback and we thank you for your kind comments. There is so much do in this area with 10 Museums available on one ticket including Blists Hill Victorian Town which is a short walk away and has many themed weekends throughout the year. A short car journey takes you to historic towns like Bridgnorth, Shrewsbury and Ludlow. Thanks again. Nick & Clare.
Host was very helpful.
Location was excellent. Beds comfortable. TV did not link to terestrial channels so we had a little problem understanding how to get programmes, written instructions would have been useful. Only real drawback was we didn't read the description carefully enough so we were surprised to find the ensuite did not have a toilet.
Our experience of The Coach House can be described in two words……absolutely perfect.
Over the years we have stayed in several holidays cottages, in different parts of the country and while they have been great this one has been the best. Our welcome was warm and friendly, the cottage is superb, the location and places to visit just wonderful. I can thoroughly recommend The Coach House.
Many thanks for your kind comments. We are both so pleased that you enjoyed your stay at the Coach House, and it was a pleasure welcoming you. We are certainly spoiled for choice in things to do locally, even at this time of the year! Thank you again. Nick and Clare
A lovely cottage - well equipped and very comfortable.
Location was excellent especially for visiting the Ironbridge Gorge museums with local amenities on the doorstop. The owners Nick and Claire were extremely friendly and very approachable. We enjoyed so much we've just booked for another week in the autumn. Thanks very much. Jayne and Mal Sims
Jayne & Mal Thank you so much for your kind comments. We so look forward to welcoming you back in the Autumn. Have a lovely Summer. Nick & Clare
Very clean & comfortable property.
Excellent location for Blist’s hill and other attractions of this lovely area. Owners very welcoming and helpful. Overall an excellent property and a great stay.
We are so pleased that you enjoyed your stay and exploring all the local area has to offer. It was a pleasure to host you. Nick and Clare
Lovely quiet spot to stay.
Very clean and spacious. Great place for walking. Supermarket within easy few minutes walk. Lovely and helpful owners. Pity no pub with good food a bit closer.
Thanks for the feedback. We note that you have rated us a 3 out of 4 for each criteria, being 1 mark off in each case, but take heart from your your kind and positive comments. There are a great many pubs and restaurants in the area offering a wide range of menus and price points. the nearest offering substantial meals are typically about 20-30 minutes walk or a few minutes by car. The local taxi service is pretty good if you fancy a drink or two with your meal on a winter's evening. Thanks again. Nick & Clare
The Coach House is beautiful, everything is provided for a really comfortable, luxurious and relaxed stay.
It gives the illusion of being isolated as its so quiet, but it's so close to all the amenities you could possibly require. Hosts are so welcoming and friendly, the welcome package was very much appreciated. We loved staying here, now trying to work out when we can come back.
What can I say, other than Fantastic.
The Coach house is very well appointed - everything you need for a relaxing break and perfectly located as a base to visit all the Ironbridge Gorge Museums. The kitchen is very well equipped and spacious - in the fridge waiting for us was milk, butter and a loaf on the side which was a lovely touch. The living room has two very large comfortable settees and an enormous TV. Upstairs the bedrooms are a good size with very comfortable beds, one with an ensuite shower which was lovely and powerful. The main bathroom with its again powerful walk in shower was a pleasure to use. Everywhere was spotlessly clean. On arrival we were warmly greeted by Nick the owner, who handed the keys over and explained everything. He explained where all the local facilities were (Tesco's a 2 minute walk) and how to get there. He recommended The Woodbridge Inn on the banks of the River Severn for food and it didn't disappoint. He also recommended The All Nations Inn on Coalport Road, an 8 minute walk, all be it down the hill, for quality Cask Ale and a friendly pub. Again we were not disappointed, spending most evenings in there chatting to the very friendly locals, as though we were ones ourselves and been going there for years. Overall - one of the best Sykes Cottages we have been to.
Phil It was great to meet and host you. We are so pleased you enjoyed the cottage and your time in the area, not least as you were celebrating a special occasion. Many thanks for taking the time to review your stay. Nick & Clare
We were warmly welcomed to the Coach House at the Old Vicarage by Nick, the owner.
It is a gem of a place to stay at - a sensitively converted Coach House with a modern and extremely comfortable and well equipped interior. In short, the perfect base for touring Ironbridge Gorge and surrounding Shropshire countryside - which was at its best with all the Autumnal colours everywhere during our stay. Thank you again Nick and Clare
Lovely place.
Very comfortable and clean. Would recommend. Very helpful owners on site. Just one criticism booklets how to work things would be helpful. Other than that 10 out of 10 would definitely stay there again
Hi Kathleen So pleased you enjoyed your stay and many thanks for taking time to provide this helpful feedback. I have begun to assemble a room by room set of documents to cover the equipment provided so hope that will help. Technology moves so fast these days! Kind regards Nick & Clare
We thoroughly enjoyed our holiday at the coach house, the house was well equipped, clean and beautifully furnished with everything needed for an enjoyable time.
We also enjoyed the peace and quiet and the access to all of the amenities which were close by. All in all a lovely holiday and we will definitely return.
Lovely house,well equipped would definitely recommend
Many thanks for the feedback. It was a pleasure to host you all. Nick & Clare
This was our first visit to Shropshre and we could not have picked a better holiday cottage than the Coach House.
The cottage was spotlessly clean and extremely comfortable with everything you could possibly want provided to the highest standard. Nick and Clare were the perfect hosts being extremely helpful and have created a wonderful cottage ideally located for exploring Shropshire, with Ironbridge and Blists Hill Victorian Town close by.
Hi Malcolm Thank you for your kind appraisal, we are so pleased that you enjoyed your stay and would welcome you back anytime you you might want to explore more of what Shropshire can offer. Kind regards. Nick & Clare
The cottage is well equipped, to a very good standard and located near the Ironbridge Gorge Museums.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay there and the owners went out of their way to make us feel welcome and respond to any requests. The beds and furnishings were very comfortable and we did feedback that it would be good to have the option of a lighter duvet (which is a minor point) We loved our visits to Ludlow Castle, Attingham Park and RAF Cosford. The Shropshire countryside is beautiful and we would definitely return. Thank you Nick and Claire
Hi Helena Thank you so much for your kind comments. we have noted your point on a choice of different TOG values for duvets and hope to offer options soon. It was a pleasure having you stay, and when you return to Shropshire we do hope you will keep the Coach House in your thoughts. Thanks again. Nick & Clare
Clean, spacious, and well-appointed accommodation coming with a warm welcome from helpful owners.
Very convenient for the village shops, Ironbridge, and the museums. A good base from which to explore the locality and other tourist attractions.
Thanks for taking time to feedback. So many of our guests have commented on how much there is to do in the area, the Severn Valley Railway (https://www.svr.co.uk) at Bridgnorth and canoeing on the River Severn (https://www.ironbridgecanoehire.co.uk) are just a couple of options not mentioned in the property description. Thanks again. Nick & Clare
A fantastic property with absolutely great hosts
Richard Thanks for your review, great to meet you both and so pleased you enjoyed your stay. Nick & Clare
Had a wonderful stay at The Coach House.
Nick and Claire great hosts, there if you needed them but not intrusive. Very central to all locations and only 5 mins from Blists Hill Victorian Town, which is well worth the visit. Food wise you must try The Shakespeare Inn, brilliant, particularly the Sunday Roast !!! Will definitely be back to Shrewsbury and will definitely be back to The Coach House. Once again thank you Nick and Claire for a wonderful stay.
So kind of you to take time to review your stay. It was a pleasure to host you and we look forward to the possibility of seeing you again. Many thanks Nick & Clare
This property is a hidden gem and very well appointed and comfortable, with lots to do locally and everything you need close by.
The property owners could not do enough for you and their local knowledge of places to eat and drink was excellent.
Many thanks for your kind comments, it was an absolute pleasure to host you and we are so glad you enjoyed your stay. Best regards Nick and Clare
Very friendly and welcoming owners.
Very clean and comfortable accommodation. Lovely little courtyard to sit and enjoy the sunshine. Great base from which to explore.

Many thanks for the feedback. It was a pleasure to have you stay, and look forward to a possible return visit. Kind regards Nick & Clare
We were the very 1st people to stay here & everything (apart from dishwasher) was brand new & has been set out with a high standard.
Nick & Claire are a great couple & were on hand with any questions we had. We felt that we were home to home & loved our stay here, didnt want to leave. The cottage is in a great place to visit lots of things around the area. The Victorian Village is in walking distance & well worth a visit. We are members of National Trust & found loads of places to visit around. We only stayed 4 nights but wished we had longer time there. We would highly recommend a stay here & would love to go back in the future. Thank you Nick & Claire for letting out your beautiful cottage & we hope to see you again.
Hi It was a pleasure to have you stay and we would both like to thank you so much for the feedback it has been very helpful in trying to ensure that future guests have everything they need to make their stay at the Coach House complete. We look forward to welcoming you back with the possibility of a return visit. Kind Regards Nick & Clare
