Dog Friendly Ironbridge Holiday Cottages

What our customers say about their holidays

  The overall stay was excellent.

  The flat is full of character and decorated with care. The views were second to none and the location in Ironbridge itself was truly special.There was a few things which could make slight improvements. - it said on the listing there was a washing machine but there wasn't. We did plan on washing some of our young son's clothes, it's not a massive issue but it's to bear in mind. - a welcome basket would have been a nice touch. We arrived quite late, meaning we couldn't grab any bits for the morning. Some coffee, tea bags and milk satchets would have been nice. This isn't a deal breaker by any stretch and didn't spoil the stay. - some of the cupboards felt a little 'lived in.' the cleaning cupboard under the sink was what you would expect to find at home, Christmas tree in the storage space and spare bulbs etc. again, it's fine but a little attention to detail would really elevate this already brilliant property. - parking was a little tricky at times as the road leading up to the property and parking area was tight. If you have a bigger car (which we do, unfortunately) it can be a bit touch and go with the walls! - having said all that, we loved staying here, the location was great and perfect for our needs. The flat was lovely, well presented, comfortable and spacious. We'd happily stay here again.

  No 7 is approximately 30 minutes walk to Ironbridge.

  Two museums conveniently situated directly opposite the house to visit and a fantastic but pricy cafe but these local attractions are not open Mondays or Tuesdays. Great location for all of the Blists Hill associated museums and you can also take dogs to Blists Hill and the gorge museum which is a big plus but none of the others we found allowed dogs. The cottage itself is very quaint, decorated and furnished to a good standard. I didn’t realise I needed to bring a hairdryer as I assumed it would be a standard item, there are three televisions and three toilets! We visited end of February and the log burner is still not connected sadly and there is a draft from the fireplace but throws are provided, the heating works well and the water pressure is off the scale! Very handy large cloakroom. Hopefully the lighting in the bathroom and a shower issue will be fixed next time we come. Would highly recommend this place, especially if you like walking as there are lots of hill walks from the house locally, my boys spotted deer and a fox at close distance :)

  This is a lovely cottage in a good area for branching out and visiting places such as Chester, Shrewsbury , Birmingham.

  It was clean and tidy inside and the beds were really comfortable. There was ample kitchen utensils and appliances in the kitchen. Areas for improvement could include; The cooker hob took a little while to figure out without any instructions, leading us to have to google how to operate it. There was a definite underlying smell of damp in the downstairs WC with noticeable mould spores on the peeling paint. The upstairs bathroom had a damp smell too. It would have also been good to have control over the bathroom radiators as having to leave damp towels hanging around only added to the overall damp smell. There is no outside area to hang towels if it is sunny so they stayed damp throughout the week. It would have been useful to have a lamp in the sitting areas at night instead of the wall lights as these reflected onto the TV screen. We enjoyed our stay here and liked the cottage and its location but wouldn’t stay again due to the dampness.

  Could have done with a mirror near a socket for drying/styling hair.

  The small ironing board was a waste of time; bench had to be cleared to allow for ironing board. 8 coat hangers is not sufficient if staying a week. A washing machine would be more preferable than the dishwasher. The parking was a nightmare, yes the church is only 20 yards from the property, however that 20 yards is up a fairly steep incline when loading and unloading that’s providing you to get to park by the church which we only managed once in the week we were there.

  Description not as advertised, as no washing machine, something we specifically wanted.

  There were loads (at least 30) dead ladybirds and about a dozen live ones on the property plus dead (decomposed) flies in webs at windows, bathroom floor had dirty drip marks and the wall by the sink dirty soap & toothpaste splashes also narrow groove behind sink was very dirty. Putting the above to the side, the property has potential to be lovely (if cleaning was improved) as it is very comfortable, fabulous location and loads to do in Ironbridge.
