  Bridge view cottage is one of the best homes I have ever stayed in, and I always book homes/cottages/apartments when I go away.

  It is a picturesque cottage in a picturesque setting! I could have stayed much longer! This was a cozy, little, yet spacious, cottage under the bridge by the river. It had everything we needed for a weekend stay, and more! Everything is though of here! Even spare bulbs and batteries, flash lights for night walks to and from the cottage and a welcome pack of biscuits, milk and prosecco! The house was extremely clean and was truly a home from home. The log fire after a cold day roaming the area was lovely The hosts were friendly and sent clear communication and were quick to respond to queeries. There was also a good information folder at the property. The only point I would make is that the property is down a private road where parking outside the property isn't possible. Loading and unloading is fine.We knew this when we booked, and it wasn't an issue for us. However it could be an issue for anyone with slight mobility issues or someone with prams etc. There was a space for us down the lane under the bridge to park- but we did get mucky shoes everytime we had to leave the property and walk to the car or onto the bridge. Navigating the potholes and puddles by torch at night was tricky. However visiting a cottage in a setting like this in the winter, it is expected. There are steps up to the bridge and a carpark above if there isnt room under the bridge. a free parking permit was waiting at the property too for parking in any council carparks. Brilliant! We would highly recommend this property and would not hessitate to return. I can only imagine how glorious this place would be on a Summers day! You will not be dissapointed if you stay here. Thank you!

  First time to Ironbridge and booked Bridge View Cottage.

  The directions we got from the owners were spot on and we managed to get the car parked under the bridge where the owners mentioned. Failing this we had a resident pass to park in the station car park which had loads of spaces. The cottage is about a 30 second walk from the bridge and a couple of minutes from the main street in Ironbridge. The cottage itself was nice and cosy with everything you need to relax. There is a decent size garden at the front of the property for kids to run round. It gets very dark on a night as there is very little street lighting, however the owners have left two small torches by the front door for people to use on their way home. The cottage is in an ideal location as all of the facilities in Ironbridge are in walking distance. On the way to the cottage we followed the sat nav. We ended up going down a hill, past Blists Hill Victorian Town and the sat nav wanted us to turn right at the bottom of the hill. Unfortunately the road it tried to take us along was closed when we were there. We had to drive back up the hill to a roundabout, eventually the sat nav kicked in and re-directed us. The cottage was very clean and tidy when we arrived. Can definitely recommend B\ridge View Cottage if you are planning on spending some time in Ironbridge.

  Bridge View Cottage has a picturesque location, with views of the river and Ironbridge from its main bedroom.

  The owners have given a good deal of thought to equipping and furnishing the cottage to make it comfortable and laid out to make good use of its potential. We enjoyed staying in it! The information received in advance was excellent and the owners very helpful in what they passed on to us. Check in was straightforward, and there was plenty of info available in the cottage itself. The 'welcome' treats were very much appreciated. There is a lot to see and do nearby. We hardly used the car all week! An aspect to consider, though, is access to the cottage itself in relation to parking and getting into Ironbridge. There are steep stone steps up to the main car park and bridge. At night time and in wet weather these steps were not easy - so if you're mobility is limited this would make access to/from the cottage quite challenging. Yes, we ould commend the cottage. We had a lovely stay here at Bridge View Cottage.

  This cottage was a beautiful little place for our weekend away.

  The location and view is stunning especially in the bedrooms and it was nice and clean it didn’t quite get full marks because we felt upstairs hadn’t been hoovered very well as my husband trod on a clothing tag and there was a few little bits on the carpet. Everything was comfy and a log burner was an added bonus it added to the cosy cottage feeling. The kitchen was well equipped with everything you could imagine and everything worked well. We only had trouble with the toilet which needed attention on the last day and we alerted the owner so they can fix this. The shower is great. Overall a perfect place for a few nights stay exploring ironbridge. I would just warn anyone staying that there is a very steep hill down into ironbridge and it’s a fairly long walk to blists hill but if you love walking this will not be an issue.

  The only down side to the booking was receiving the previous owners contact details to confirm collection of keys.

  It was rather embarrassing to hear that he had recently sold the cottage and Sykes should have taken his details off the information list. I was also disappointed that after I phoned Sykes to report this back, the person I spoke to said give me half an hour and I'll get back to you, this was 1.30pm on Tuesday (before we were due to travel on Friday) and I had to call Sykes back at 9.30am Wednesday to ask for an update on the situation. I understand that the new owners may not have been available that day but a courtesy call/email back would have been appreciated on the Tuesday. Small glitch, we went on to have a great holiday in a lovely cottage, we met new owners Janet and Mick, they we're really friendly and helpful.
