Compact but enough room for 3
Compact but big enough. Steep hill down into ironbridge but still less than a 10 minute walk. Odd niggle like the bathroom sink plug not holding water but overall the property was great and I’d go back.

RAF Museum Visit
Cottage was charming, very clean and comfortable. Only bathroom is on ground floor (as advertised). Pub located just around corner, but did not serve food on Mondays or Tuesdays. Ironbridge is a great village to visit with shops and museums. It is located at the bottom of a rather steep hill, a bit of a challenge to walk if you are older.

Nice small cottage
A nice small cottage very close to Ironbridge itself, 5 minute walk. Cottage well equipped and pleasantly decorated. We were fine with it despite being older adults, but some people our age with moderate mobility issues might struggle with steepness of stairs especially as the bathroom is downstairs as this means tackling the stairs at night if necessary. All in all a good venue for the price.

Not what we thought
Was not what I believe was advertised, we needed to put the heating up as the room temperature was cold and I had to contact the owner to adjust it my response from her was I have boosted it for two hours is that ok We should be able to do it ourselves. We left three days early

Excellent location
Small cottage with free parking available nearby. Walking distance to central Ironbridge and walking routes on doorstep. Property was clean and owner had thoughtfully provided tea and coffee with a pint of milk. You often arrive tired at your rental property and being able to have a cup of tea on arrival rather than having to straight to supermarket is always welcome. Property was fine for us but could be problematic for some: steep stairs and the toilet/bathroom is at the furthest distance from bedrooms and is downstairs, great during the day but potentially a problem at night. Property suited us as a couple

Ironbridge stay
Lovely few days spent in Victoria Cottage, we enjoyed exploring the location as it was our first time in the area. Cottage was warm, clean and welcoming, some lovely friendly Covid-19 compliant pubs close by who welcomed dogs either indoors or in the garden. Hopefully we will be in a position to visit again in the future, so would recommend the cottage to anyone who asks.

About the host

Hosted by Rachel Morrison

Host profile image
That's me in the middle with my daughter and friend (and her dog) who had a great holiday to the cottage (behind us) at New Year.

I purchased the cottage from a gentlemen who had been running Victoria Cottage as a holiday home for 17 years. It is situated in a pretty special location (as you'll see) so after moving from Perth, Scotland to Telford I fell in love with Ironbridge. Purchasing the holiday cottage has been a great way to integrate into the local community and I can't emphasise enough the charm and uniqueness of staying at the Victoria Cottage.

Why they chose this property

The cottage was bought because it is exactly the kind of cottage in which I would be delighted to spend a holiday - cosy, well modernised, in a quiet area close to the centre of Ironbridge with some great walking on the doorstep and right next door to a superb pub serving great food.

I’ve run the holiday home for a few months now & my philosophy of a "would I be happy to stay here" test has always been my guiding principle. My aim has always been to provide visitors with a comfortable home from home as a base from which to enjoy a great holiday in this beautiful part of the country.

What makes this property unique

Victoria Cottage is situated right in the heart of this UNESCO World Heritage Village. The world's first iron bridge is less than 10 minutes’ walk away and the 10 museums, which attract visitors year-round from all over the world, are within very easy reach. If walking is your pleasure the Ironbridge Gorge will be your delight; if you prefer to relax and take it easy, you will appreciate the Golden Ball Inn next to the cottage, which has a history a history dating back almost 300 years, the pub has a great atmosphere and serves superb food.
