About this property
This delightful end-terrace cottage offers a wonderful location in the heart of the historic Shropshire town of Ironbridge. Full of character, the property is within walking distance of the famous bridge itself, making a charming and romantic holiday home. With a genuine country cottage feel throughout, the ground floor has a sitting room with woodburning stove and a cosy atmosphere. The country kitchen is well-equipped with amenities and includes a Belfast sink and a separate dining area, with a feature fireplace and exposed beamed ceilings. Upstairs houses two bedrooms. To the rear, a peaceful twin room and to the front, a double bedroom from where you can see the famous Ironbridge itself. The family bathroom has been well finished, with a shower over bath, basin and WC. The front of the cottage looks across the river to the town. It has a large lawned area, with a patio section and furniture. The rear contains a small patio area, again with furniture. The location of the cottage is ideal. Walk back up the bridle path and you are immediately standing across the river from the facilities of Ironbridge with its many traditional pubs, village shops and local tourist attractions and of course, a stroll across the Iron Bridge itself to get there. With its museums and gorge it is hard to tear yourself away from this wonderful location, but should you wish to explore further afield, Telford is only a few miles drive away, or to the west the vibrant market town of Shrewsbury and the beauty of the Shropshire Hills. 9 Ladywood is a charming cottage housed neatly down a bridle path in the heart of the famous Ironbridge, a wonderful location to explore the historical town and surrounding Shropshire countryside.
Known as the birthplace of the industrial revolution, Ironbridge is now a unique wooded valley with plenty of footpaths, bridleways and country lanes. Renowned for being home to the world's first iron bridge (built 1777-1779), this village offers an array of shops, pubs, restaurants and museums. Nearby are the towns of Shrewsbury, Ludlow, Bridgnorth and Much Wenlock.

Even managed to park under the bridge! Everything was catered for and more. Very clean and tidy and very comfortable beds too. Hosts went above and beyond to ensure their guests had everything they needed from umbrellas, torches, batteries, kitchen foil, handwash and washing up kit. Also some cookies and a bottle of fizz! Thank you and I would love to make a return booking at some time in the near future. Only negative was the toilet flush needed some TLC.

The stairs to the bedrooms, bathroom and toilet were very steep. This ought to be highlighted. Also, the washing machine was not in working order and had not been published on the website as such, this was due to the flooding of the river Severn. Otherwise, a lovely place to stay and so convenient for siteseeing.

We were able to walk into Ironbridge and visit all of it's cafés and shops. We also cycled from the cottage along the river. The cottage was well equipped and had everything we needed.
