Lovely walks around the area and plenty to do. The cottage was very welcoming and loved the flowers and Fizz. Only thing we found was the fridge did freeze our food, so maybe needs servicing. Very friendly pubs and we did eat at The Shakespeare behind and the food was lovely. Would definitely us Tub again and would recommend xx

General maintenance ignored outside lights not working and light next to settee also not working (just needs bulb). Cleanliness generally ok were itâs visible but I dropped a coin which went under settee (filthy) and oven needs a deep clean, hob chipped but still useable. I know all this seems negative but 1hrs work and it is a lovely cottage. Ooh and steps/stairs are steep. (I live in bungalow lol).

It is well equipped iwith crockery and kitchenware. Being small, it has made a good use of the space available in terms of storage. Parking is available next to the pub on the opposite side of the road which is up a flight of steps. It is very peaceful with little noise. Coalport village has few amenities (apart from the Coalport China Museum, cafe pub and hairdresser) but it is only a 10 minute drive into Ironbridge where there is a Co-Op or to Madeley where Aldi and Lidl are on the same site. There is no public transport to the village but the park and ride shuttle bus which operates at weekends during the summer does stop outside the museum and calls at the other Ironbridge Gorge sites.
