The cottage was very pleasant in many ways. On the slight downside, the parking was located across a fairly busy road, with a single allocated bay for one car. The stairs are very steep, which made access at night more difficult. The shower room and toilet are both located in a compact bathroom downstairs. The kitchen was well equipped, although there was no washing machine. The cottage was very nice and warm, with easytouse heating controls. The road outside is quiet at night but busy in the morning, and there is only a small area at the front of the property with no back garden. This may not be ideal for young children or those with limited mobility, particularly due to the stairs and parking arrangement. The key safe was initially difficult to open, however an alternative key safe nearby allowed access. The cottage is about 34 mile from Iron Bridge in Ironbridge, which is walkable although there is a steep hill. Overall, the cottage suited our needs, but may not be suitable for families with young children or guests with limited mobility.

The property lacked any nice touches. No welcome pack, coffee grinder and no coffee pot. No soap, no liquids in the shower dispensers. No cleaning agents. When we arrived it was clean and tidy. I would not recommend the cottage.

Astrid

I already been telling my complaints on the phone to your company. Didn hear a reply on it. About the smell in the house, the shower, far to hot, cannot regulate it. No salt, or pepper, or anything in the well equipped kitchen . Too much money for this house. Astrid

It would be nice to have a couple of fold up chairs for the front outside space as you advertise it in your photos but it is an unusable space as it is. The road has a fair amount of traffic outside, but late evening you could sit outside.

Maureen

The parking space opposite was not very accurate and there were no directions in the property or on the website to indicate where the allocated space was Across the road 100 yards to the left, down a steep slope and against the old factory wall. Once we located the slot we used it easily!!! It would be lovely to have some indication in the property of its age and history which is available via the various Gorge Museums. The stairs are indeed very steep and not suitable for those with any mobility issues. This ought to be on the website too. Otherwise a lovely comfortable cottage. Thank you.

The cottage was beautifully presented, bright and clean. It is compact but was ideal for the two of us. We just about coped with the stairs, which are steep both in our early 70s but relatively fit . Car parking was the major concern as the road outside is quite busy at peak times. Decided to park further downhill an area about 120metres away. Enjoyed our stay very much.

Blaise

Lovely and well equipped cottage. We had a lovely stay

Recently refurbished to a high standard. This was an ideal property for two people but could be a little small for 4. Ideally situated for access to Ironbridge although it is up a hill which would be an issue for anyone not 100 good on their feet. Overall we had a lovely time and would certainly recommend. Paul

Whilst the property was lovely and in good condition, the WiFi was very poor and only really useful when in the living room. When in any other room my devices would drop off every so often and I would have to reboot the Sky box I think a booster box would sort this out. The lack of an extractor fan in what is a relatively small kitchen was very surprising. When I cooked one evening the steam came down to my shoulders. Finally, finding an empty red wine bottle in one of the kitchen cupboards did not go down well.
