Great compact cottage in a fabulous location, with sunny south facing garden views of the hilltops the other side of the gorge. Great for walking, plenty of pubs and restaurants within a short distance. Steep footpaths (obviously being in a gorge) which mean you should have no problem with the short, steep stairs.

Very clean accommodation and everything you need. Location good but walk back from town not suitable for anyone who doesnt like hills. However good pub close and within walking distance without going down the "Hill". Plenty to do and see around the area.

This is a very quaint, tiny but comfortable and well appointed cottage in a fantastic location. A short walk from all the attractions of Ironbridge and surrounding Severn Gorge, it is also within easy reach of many other world class museums and attractions.
