  A fabulous location with just a short 15 minute walk into Ironbridge.

  The cottage has been renovated to a high standard throughout and provides the perfect base for exploring Shropshire. We did find that the description of the property was not entirely accurate. It says that there is a wood burning stove, which there is, but it is not connected. It has no flue and is still mounted to the pallet it was delivered on. It would not be safe to light this until it has been correctly installed and feel it should be taken off the description until this has happened as it was one of the reasons we booked the cottage. It should also be mentioned that the patio is at the front of the cottage and not a private one at the back in the description and not just the bullet points. Parking is a bonus but feel that for people with any sort of mobility issues it should be noted that it is down a hill and a cross a road from the cottage. The stairs are narrow and steep so it can be difficult to get a suitcase up and down the stairs even at the age of 44. Just thinking of health and safety for future visitors that may have not been considered. We also feel that if you offer shampoo, conditioner and shower gel in dispensers these should be filled up. Two were empty when we arrived and whilst the shower is beautiful there is nowhere to put any of your own products except on the floor. The bedroom is very nicely decorated but both my partner and I struggled with the height of the bed and bed frame. It was too high for us and meant that it was hard to get in and out of and difficult to sit or perch on the edge as you would do at home. I think the cottage would benefit from a ‘Welcome’ folder. There were some leaflets for the local area and a framed ‘Welcome’ sign but nothing that tells you where to empty the kitchen bin to, nothing that says that after a shower please keep the extractor fan on and the door closed because the heat and steam will set off the fire alarm, (which happened several times before we realised what was causing it), the nearest place for a mobile phone signal in case of emergencies, local dr’s and dentists and the fact that there is no ‘live’ TV signal at the property. Lots of things which may not affect your stay if only visiting for a long weekend but we stayed for a week and so were noticing things that others may not. All things mentioned are observations as we aren’t sure how long the property has been a holiday home for.

  This property is in the grounds of the owners property.

  You see them on a regular basis as it over looks onto their patio and their “washing”. You share the entrance and it is kept locked at all times. You pass their patio as you walk up path to Wash house. Two big steps down into dining room and then into kitchen. Several big steps up into corridor leading to lounge to the right and downstairs shower room to left. Tight split turn staircase up to bedroom and upstairs shower room. Both these rooms have one velux type window each the rooms do get very hot in warm weather. Did not have potato peeler or clothes pegs despite washing machine and outdoor washing line. being pointed out to us. Private patio with chairs accessed by two big steps from kitchen. Bed was very comfy as super king size. TV in bedroom. Hot water is plentiful and very hot. Fridge is only larder fridge and no freezer so couldn’t have ice cubes etc. Or use freezer blocks for return journey home. It is very convenient for the centre of town. Great walks for dogs nearby. Lots of National Trust properties to visit within reasonable drive. Bridgnorth and Ludlow wonderful places to visit. The owners kindly left a loaf a jar of marmalade and 6 eggs when we arrived. Parking bay at front of owners house was allocated for our stay. Not sure if suitable for people with mobility issues because of steps/ staircase. One well behaved dog allowed. Would definitely consider staying again if wanting to visit the area Much Wenlock is a pretty historic small town.

  This is an absolutely amazing house!

  Everything is done so well and each room is a delight. It is so spacious and comfortable. It was completely clean and everything was well maintained. Some reviews have mentioned the steep walk down to Ironbridge and it is true that there is a very definite incline...it didn't trouble us at all and we have stayed in this area before so knew what to expect. It may not be ideal for someone less mobile but there are very few places in Ironbridge that have level access. The upside of the slope is the fantastic views of the gorge from every window of the house. You can see clearly down to the bridge and everything was green and beautiful - the views made the house even more special. Parking is also always a bit of a challenge in the narrow streets around Ironbridge - we took a small car and the garage at the house worked perfectly for us, but there would have been on street parking not too far away every time anyway. All in all, we loved this house and I was sorry when it was time to leave. Next time we are back in the area, it will definitely be my first choice of places to stay.

  We spent a most delightful week at Wash House Cottage.

  Being greeted by Lyn on arrival was a joy, we get to meet very few owners normally. The cottage is in a superb location nestled just behind the Main Street of Much Wenlock, so handy for the town, yet so peaceful. The cottage itself is lovely, though the big steps into the kitchen and out of the back door could be challenging for the less mobile. The cottage is well equipped with everything you need, the heating system is easy to handle and efficient. The showers, yes two, are of good size with good water pressure. The beds are comfortable as was the seating in the lounge. We had a wonderful time and with the beautiful weather were able to come home on an afternoon and sit out in the sunshine. We visited Ludlow, Bridgend and Shrewsbury all fairly close by, this cottage is so well placed to explore the area. Ironbridge was fantastic with so much more to explore given enough time. It just means we’ll have to return to finish off our adventure! All in all a perfect cottage in a beautiful market town, I’m so glad I chose this one.

  This is a fabulous property in an amazing location and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

  The property is well equipped and comfortable as well as cosy. The furniture in the lounge is different to that in the photographs but, in my opinion, it is more cosy now. When we stayed it was decorated for Christmas and the christmas tree was stunning. Although parking and manoeuvring can be tricky and the road is steep, this is clearly explained in the listing so you are aware of what to expect. We would have found cooker instructions useful but there didn't seem to be any. Also, one of the glass cooking dishes was badly chipped on the handle and one of our party received a bad cut. In addition, one of the stair handrails is loose and needs repairing. We do appreciate that owners are not always made aware of such issues and are usually quick to respond and address them. Having said all that, we would definitely still recommend the property and stay again as it is really lovely and there's lots to see and do in the area.
