Blackbird Cottage Reviews

Michael
Third stay in this lovely cottage in a great location.
Lovely cottage. Very generous welcome basket left for us. Central to where we wanted to visit. Dining room table a bit of a problem, but we managed to navigate it.
Bridget
Lovely place
Debbie
A super base for our short break exploring the local area. The house was very comfortable, spacious, clean and we appreciated the outdoor seating too. It had everything we needed. Fantastic communication from the owner Jenny, and my daughter was especially delighted with the cake on arrival! Great additional provisions too tea, coffee, sugar and milk, plus some wine!! Amazing and so very thoughtful.
Robert
Another great stay at this cottage in Coalport we will be back again
What a lovely little cottage, warm , tidy , clean. good parking, great for looking at the local history what more do you need.
Lovely cottage in great location for visiting the local Ironbridge area sights and the Shropshire countryside. Walking distance to a couple of great pubs and much appreciated the welcome treats.
Bronwen
Comfortable, clean, well equipped and in a good location for exploring the area. Jenny made contact before we arrived which enabled us to access the cottage early which was a great bonus and we enjoyed meeting her during our stay. We will visit again.
Everything was fine and we enjoyed our stay. Location was excellent and Jenny was very kind and considerate.

Our second stay, its a great location for walking and visiting the surrounding area and a lovely well equipped cottage. There was building work next door until 8.30pm on the Friday night, restarting at 9am Saturday morning, with lots of noisy power tools, which wasnt a good start to our holiday, thankfully it was quiet from the Sunday.
Xuguang
Very nice cottage at a great location. So many attractive spots in easy reach on foot. Enjoy every minute of the staying and couldn't wait for coming back again.
Claire
The host was fabulous, pooping in when I couldn't work out the heating! Left a few goodies for us too. The area is great if you like history and or the great outdoors.
We arrived at the cottage to find a bottle of wine and a chocolate cake which went down a treat, after a good night's sleep we were delighted to find the weather still perfect as it remained for the whole 7 days so unusual in April, The owner Jenny was helpful without being obtrusive, The cottage had a well appointed kitchen. And local pubs served good food, All in all the perfect break for two 80 year olds , ps,the walks are easy and the ones scenery gorgeous, THANKS JENNY
Corienna
A lovely house, spotlessly clean. Very good location for visiting surrounding area. All in all a really enjoyable stay.
A brilliant location for our weeks target of investigating the history of the Industrial Revolution! Blackbird Cottage provided all we needed for self catering and a cosy retreat at the end of each busy and tiring day. Jenny, the owner was readily on hand to offer help and advice on the local area.
Theresa
A lovely cottage in an ideal setting for exploring the area. Very clean and comfortable. Thankyou to the owners for the bottle of wine chocolate cake and milk,tea and coffee. Would recommend and stay again .
Robert
A lovely clean cottage with the bonus of off street parking,we met Jen the owner who lives next door and who left us a lovely chocolate cake &wine the cottage has a pleasant garden area to sit in which we did every evening,there are lots of lovely walks straight from the cottage and a number of great pubs and attractions to visit . All in all we had a lovely stay in blackbird cottage .
Great location, easy access to all the local attractions. Cottage was well equipped and lovey welcome pack from the owner.
Clean, cozy, glad to have the heating on a timer so when we returned from our days out, the cottage was warm. Beds very comfortable, plenty of towels. Thoughtful welcome wine and cake. Information about the area was useful. The cottage is perfectly situated for visits to the local museums and the weather was fine enough for us to walk along the footpaths to Telford and other nearby museums. Parking for two cars was essential for us as we and our relatives were coming from opposite ends of the country.
Chantal
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Blackbird cottage and Jenny went above and beyond to make our experience even more special. The cottage was beautifully decorated for Christmas and there were some delicious treats too. The cottage is a good size for a couple, with everything to hand in the kitchen and cosy throws and furniture in the lounge. The beds were comfortable and there was plenty of hot water and a very good shower in the bathroom. There is ample parking which is a bonus in Coalport. The location is superb for all of the museums, pubs, cafes and walks, the Silkin Way being on the doorstep and the River Severn just a short stroll away. Jenny is a great host and I would highly recommend this cottage.
Caroline
We had a lovely stay in a charming cottage in an ideal location to explore the area. The dining experience was a challenge for two adults and two children once the table was pulled out and erected. We appreciated the thoughtful welcome pack.
Patricia
We had a lovely stay in 2-Bedroom Cottage in Hanmer. The cottage is beautifully furnished with all the kitchen equipment we could have wished for. Also, the beds are comfortable. Plenty of parking space for two big cars and a very pleasant back garden with garden furniture. Can I suggest a kitchen draining rack for when washing up is done, also a non slip mat for use inside showerbath. These are not complaints, just suggestions. We visited Blists Hill Victorian town which was fantastic, also nearby museums are well worth a look. Coalport is such a pretty place with lovely riverside walks, we shall certainly be returning.
Gregory
A very well appointed cottage that is in easy striking distance of all the attractions in the Ironbridge area, especially the YHA cafe just over the road at the China museum. It was a bonus to have Sky Sports! Lots of good pubs to eat in as well, especially the Shakespeare Inn. Thought the tile museum was very good and needs more publicity, also enjoyed the Maws Craft Centre, walking distance from the cottage.
Lovely house in lovely area.
A beautiful well equipped cottage situated in the perfect location to visit the ironbridge gorge museums. Not even a 5 minute drive for blists hill museum. Black bird cottage was Very clean and we received a very generous welcome pack and useful information on the area. I cant recommend enough.
Fantastic cottage in a perfect location! Really comfortable and well equipped. Some nice personal touches that made us feel so welcome. And lovely to have a private garden to sit out in. Loads to do, right on the doorstep, and plenty of good walking. Would definitely recommend, and would consider a return visit.
Annette
