This cottage has one double bedroom and one bunk bedroom, along with a shower room, a kitchen, and a living/dining room with decorative log burner only. Appliances include an electric oven and hob, microwave, fridge, dishwasher, and an espresso machine and for entertainment there is another Smart TV, WiFi and an Amazon Alexa. Outside, there is allocated parking for one car across the road, and a front patio with furniture and a water feature. One well-behaved pet is welcome and a highchair and stairgate are available. Fuel, power, bed linen and towels are all included in the rent. Sorry, this is a smoke-free property. You can find a shop in 0.8 miles and a pub in 0.1 mile. Note: Due to the age of the property, there are some low ceilings throughout. Number 5 is a lovely choice for a break to a historic area.

Ironbridge Gorge is recognised around the world as the birthplace of the Industrial Revolution. Today, the area is far from industrial, and nature has reclaimed most of the former industrial sites, leaving a unique and beautiful wooded valley. The gorge is now a network of trails, bridleways, and rural lanes, and the charming settlement is famed for being home to the world's first iron-made bridge, built between 1777 and 1779.

A E Housman once wrote that Shropshire was “the quietest place under the sun” and today the county remains something of a rural idyll, recognised as one of the least crowded and most peaceful regions in England.
