Beautiful little cottage down a single track lane with passing places. The cottage sits within a very pretty farm yard with stunning views of the Wrekin and sottounding scenery. The cottage is a very sympathetic conversion of a small barn and is brimming with character. It has a comfortable lounge/dining/kitchen area, a bedroom with hanging space aRead morend drawers (and a very comfy bed) and a good sized shower room. There's lots to see and do in the surrounding area. It is a lovely place to stay. Hide

Very comfortable cottage in the heart of the Ironbridge Gorge area and very convenient for museums and National trust properties. Equipment was good and we managed to fend well for ourselves. Bring your own DVDs for evening entertainment on the TV / DVD player. A great stay - thank you.

Delightful cottage on a working farm which was peaceful and scenic. Straight out of the 'Darling Buds of May'. The cottage had all we desired and was clean and comfortable.

Lovely cottage just right for a quiet break. very comfortable and a good location to visit the Ironbridge museums and other local sites. Everything worked okay. The owner is very friendly and you are left undisturbed. Good place to unwind. As others have said, take care on the poorly maintained council road to the farm, some large holes.

Lovely cosy cottage, makes a great base for exploring the area. Very close to Ironbridge, with its museums, and a short drive from Shrewsbury, which is a lovely historic town. Well equipped, warm and comfy, parking space right outside. The road to the cottage is rather narrow, but it only leads to the farm, and we never met an oncoming vehicle - thRead moreere are a lot of meandering pheasants on the road though!! We only stayed for 3 nights, but had a lovely time. Hide
