Overview
Property code: 89961

This is a stunning period cottage with a delightful garden in historic Coalbrookdale. Centrally located to walk to the museums, galleries, eateries and the river. Perfect for families or friends looking to either relax or have an active holiday. Walk into the heart of Ironbridge, less than a mile away, with its independent cafes and restaurants, shops, river and ten renowned museums. Stroll along the River Severn or pick up a fishing permit in town and enjoy an afternoon fishing. Join numerous footpaths from the doorstep or go cycling, golfing and hang gliding which are also on offer in this Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The Blists Hill Museum Village and Buildwas Abbey (both 3 miles) are a short drive and are worth a visit for history and culture lovers. Visit Much Wenlock (4 miles), the National Trust’s Attingham Park (11.5 miles), or head to medieval Shrewsbury (11 miles). With so much to see and do, this is an all-year-round destination.

Park the car next to the historic viaduct that used to carry the iron ore and coal to the foundry (now a museum opposite) and walk up the garden steps to this attractive period cottage designed with your comfort in mind. Highlights include underfloor heating, beautiful furnishings, exposed beams and period features. Get creative in the fabulous kitchen combining old and new elements and serve up in the dining area with antique furniture. It is the perfect setting for everyone to gather around and enjoy a meal together. After dinner, walk through to the sitting room, relax on the comfortable sofas, watch the Smart TV or plan your holiday activities by the glow of the wood burner-effect gas fire in the inglenook fireplace. After a full day out, head up the stairs to the first floor where you will find the shower room and two bedrooms, a king-size and a double. Open the windows in the morning and listen to birdsong to kickstart your day.

Relax in the rear paved courtyard garden, which is accessed via a few steps, with a historic arch and wall, table and chairs, soft corner seating, and a charcoal BBQ. This enclosed garden is a lovely spot for al fresco dining and making the most of the sunshine. Down the steps is a wall bar to lock up your bikes. Enjoy your morning coffee in the pretty front garden with a bistro table and chairs.

April 2024 - All that we can say is that we were very impressed! Cleanliness, design, facilities, equipment, decor, quietness and location were second to none. A step into the lovely cottage garden soon resolved the poor indoor mobile signal, but the wifi more than made up for it. A small inconvenience for such a relaxing stay.

Gorgeous cottage, beautifully placed, unfortunately for us the Forge cafe across the road closed for a fortnight the weekend we arrived which was such a shame as it was lovely, we would have used it every day I reckon.

We stayed at Holly Cottage in June and loved it so much we booked for Christmas. We were not disappointed, it was just as good and it was lovely to have the Christmas decorations as well. The gas fire made it nice and cosy, our spaniel certainly appreciated it. Lots of lovely walks nearby. We particularly enjoyed visiting Attingham Park on ChristmaRead mores eve and boxing day. It is very dog friendly and it is worth seeing the house and parkland. We look forward to returning again soon. Thank you, Julia Hide

What a real gem of a cottage. We stayed 3 nights over half term with our daughter and dog and found the cottage to be spotlessly clean, comfortable, very modern and well equipped.
