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.

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 shower/bath. 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.

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.
