    A perfect cottage in an excellent location. The cottage is small but has everything you need for a comfortable stay. The garden is well enclosed and dog proof. Good communication from the owners and they even left us some treats. There are...

    Great location, we could walk to all the museums in the gorge. Property was well presented and not overrun with signs or notices so it felt like a home. Many pubs cafes and restaurants within easy reach.

    The whole cottage was beautiful and decorated to a high standard with everything you needed. The location was perfect for walks and pubs nearby. Shower was good which was a bonus too as in someplaces they aren’t great. Just perfect

Welcome to Drake cottage, a gorgeous and cosy 2 bedroom (sleeps 3) dog friendly, riverside retreat tucked down by the river at Jackfield a gentle stroll or a 5 minute drive from the World Heritage site of Ironbridge, the birthplace of the Industrial revolution. If you like peace, nature and history, then this is the place for you! The cottage is tucked away in Jackfield with no passing traffic and is the perfect place to enjoy a peaceful break. Country pubs serving food within easy walking distance. Close to all Ironbridge Gorge attractions.
Having lived in and around the Gorge for 25 years we love sharing our enthusiasm and passion with our guests to eat, drink, shop, discover and explore all things Ironbridge Gorge. Exploring Shropshire with our two dogs Hugo and Gerald is our weekend go to, walking is a fantastic way to discover the Ironbridge Gorge World Heritage Site, whether you are a keen hiker or just fancy a leisurely amble there really is something for everyone. We are very lucky here in the Ironbridge Gorge and beyond to have some incredible country pubs and restaurants, and we always try and finish a walk with a visit to one!

Drake Cottage is at the end of a quiet, no-through road and adjacent to the River Severn. Maws Craft Centre is a 2 minute walk away with shops, gallery and cafe. At the end of the road is the Boat Inn which has regular live music nights. It is a rural area, steeped in history in a world heritage site. Car is the easiest, due to the remote location, however, walking and cycling are also a very popular pastime within the Gorge. The Severn Valley way is just behind the cottage and runs from Ironbridge to Bridgnorth. Cross over the footbridge and you can turn right to Coalport or left along the Silkin way past Victorian Town (Blist’s Hill) and through Telford Town Centre and beyond. 🐾 Welcome to our Doggie visitors! We are delighted to welcome dogs at Drake cottage where we strive to create a welcoming environment for all guests, including those with furry friends! 🐶 The Ironbridge Gorge is very dog friendly with most pubs, restaurants and shops welcoming dogs. To ensure a comfortable and enjoyable stay for all, we do have a few requests: 🐶 We would prefer it if "paws stayed on the floor" so please do not allow them upstairs or on the furniture, and if you have a particularly furry furry friend we’d really appreciate it if you could clear up hair before departure. 🐶 Please scoop your poop from the gardens. There are poop bags in the kitchen which can be disposed of in the green bin at the front of the cottage. 🐶 Please do not leave your dogs unattended in the cottage.
