About this property

Whether you have a couple’s retreat in mind, or are planning an adventure with family, this inviting abode offers three floors of excellence, ensuring a truly relaxing stay at any time of year. Enter into the living/dining room, complete with homely furnishings including the wooden flooring and fabulous gas fire/stove, ideal for those chilly winter months, whilst a dining table is where all can gather for mealtimes. Move into the kitchen, compact in size but offering all you could need for a self-catered break, including an gas oven and hob, microwave and fridge, so you can prepare home-cooked meals when you’re not dining at a fine Bridgnorth restaurant. The first floor hosts a double bedroom and a delightful bathroom, so you can get ready for the day in style. The second floor is equally as desirable presenting a family room with a super king sized bed leading onto a single bedroom/dressing room, perfect for accommodating families.

Stroll towards the River Severn, just a minute’s walk away, where you can discover the striking Lavington’s Hole or take a scenic ride up the clifftops on the historical Bridgnorth Cliff Railway. History buffs will enjoy visiting the 16th century Elizabethan manor, Upton Cresset Hall or the remains of Bridgnorth Castle, a 12th century structure that was demolished upon Oliver Cromwell’s orders. Set in a fantastic location that allows visitors to immerse themselves in centuries worth of history, The Saltbox also makes the ultimate base for exploring surrounding towns and countryside in Shropshire.
Resting on both sides of the River Severn, the attractive market town of Bridgnorth provides a charming base for every type of holiday to the magnificent Shropshire countryside.

Loved the additional history in the welcome book too. Although no parking at property, we used Listley Street car park which was a couple of minutes walk & reasonably priced. Property had everything we needed. Other reviews commented on the noise down the Cartway but this was nothing more than good natured chat of people going home after weekend nights out & was minimal as people walked by. Hosts were excellent and the offer of breakfast at their B&B business up the road was most welcome & delicious! Saved us cooking & cleaning on last morning of our stay. Would definitely recommend a stay here.

On the minus side the lounge is tiny and although there was only three of us we didnât find it comfortable.There seems to be some issues with the electrics non of the bedroom ceiling lights worked the double socket by the Toaster only worked on one outlet and there was a lot of extension leads in all the rooms.I understand that the property is very old but you do worry from the safety aspect.Also the bathroom floorboard need to be screwed down properly if anyone used the bathroom at night the whole house was awake.Bridgenorth is a lovely town and we would return,but not to this property

Unfortunately the Cartway seems to be the main walking route for drunks heading down to (and back from) the pubs, who bang on the doors and windows of the cottages they pass whilst shouting obscenities, which was unpleasant and scary, especially for our kids. It happened every night we were there. This is such a shame as the location is otherwise perfect - the kids loved the toy shop, sweet shop and waffle/ice cream place just up the road. Everything was in a short walk, and the cottage was a perfect size for a family of 5 (and the bathroom is quite big, and the shower lovely). I don't think there's anything the owners could have done to resolve the problem, so I feel bad writing it in feedback, but it's worth other families with young children (especially neurodiverse ones) being aware.
