We went mid September and the grounds were not at their best, understandably.

The cottage itself is very well appointed. The drench shower is fantastic.

The outside areas need some love. We had some lovely weather but the outside space was very tired and uncomfortable unfortunately

Lovely little cottage with lots of small extras to make your stay easy.

A beautiful cottage. Exceptionally clean and comfortable in a gorgeous location. There is so much to do in the area. Lots of things within walking distance too. Communication with the owners was first class.

Garden area was bit untidy and overgrown so we didnt sit outside. That said its that time of year when lots of flowers are past their best x

We had a fabulous weekend at Drake Cottage A real home away from home in a fabulous location. Cottage was exceptionally clean and cosy and we would definitely return if we decide to revisit Ironbridge area . One of our lovely neighbours recommended a visit to Bridgenorth when we mentioned we wanted to visit a local market ...as usual we came home with lots of plants for our garden x Enjoyed a tipple or two at The Boat Inn pub at the bottom of road ...definitely didnt need a taxi home !

Can’t think of anything except the Wi-Fi didn’t connect with my phone, guessing it’s because we were down in the valley. All ok when we went out into the town.

Lovely quiet location, near the river and the pub! Lots of lovely walks. Our weekend there was a treat as it was our 50th wedding anniversary, didn’t fancy a party! Enjoyed visiting all the sights around Ironbridge. Thoroughly enjoyable weekend.

Could have done with a small armchair in the lounge for the third guest.

Excellent location to walk to all the gorge attractions. Homely feel with alot of little unexpected extras eg herbs ,chocolate ,dog biscuits, dog bowls and poobags.

Nothing to not like.

Clean and cozy cottage. Well positioned to do many walks around the area. Lots of places to take a pit stop for food and drink. The Ironbridge, Jackfield and Coalbridge area is very clean and has old world charm. Enjoyed meals at the Black Swan pub- fish & chips were delicious😋 The Woodbridge Inn evening meal and a breakfast were very good. Fabulous view of the Ironbridge from Darcys cafe. Elys pie shop and the conacle microbrewery all worth a visit.

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 walks from the door and some very good pubs and eateries all within a 20 minute walk. A perfect holiday

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.

It was a shame that the double bed mattress wasn’t very comfy and the handle on one side of the bed just was awkward when you sat on the edge of the bed to get out. That’s was the only down side.

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

Fantastic location for exploring surrounding areas of Ironbridge Drake cottage has everything you need to enjoy a wonderful staycation

Nothing - perfect

What a gem of a place – if you read all the great reviews, they don’t do justice to the property, owners or location! The cottage was spotless and had everything to could imagine. It really was perfect home from home, great communication from the get go, we even got a message on the day of our arrival telling us that the property was ready and we could check in early (we didn’t as we had a full day planned on the way down). The location is perfect, with a number of pubs / places to eat within walking distance. Ironbridge is about 30 mins easy walk from the cottage. Very easy to find with the information supplied by the hosts. The local pub The Boat Inn is a full 45 second walk away and is amazing, felt like a local from the first time we went in (a very busy, dancing, DJ night going on). One of the locals found a seat for us – had a great night. They don’t do food, but plenty of other options close by – or go mad and cook in the kitchen at the cottage, it has everything you need including a dishwasher.

Fabulous cottage, Fabulous amenities in a Fabulous location.

Fabulous property perfectly situated to stroll and grab a coffee in the artisan centre next door, grab a pint at the pub 2 mins away and take the dogs for fabulous walks. Such an interesting part of the world with so much to do. The cottage felt like a home from home and everyone locally was just so friendly and accommodating.

Quiet location with great access to walking trails and local pubs. Beds extremely comfy and kitchen very well equipped. The complimentary tea, coffee, biscuits and chocolate were a lovely touch.

Nothing - everything was perfect.

This cottage is an absolute gem. Spotlessly clean, well equipped and very very comfortable. The location was also ideal for walking and exploring - we didn't need to use our car at all in the three days we visited. The host, Sarah, was a great communicator in advance of the stay, advising us about where to park safely due to flooding in the local area and providing tips for New Year entertainment in nearby Ironbridge. I'd love to return to explore the area more at a warmer time of year as it really is a wonderful location - we just timed our visit poorly with the storms!
