  • "It Would have been helpful to have had, dishwasher tablets."

    More toilet rolls. Surface kitchen cleaner. Hand wash. Basic kitchen items like foil. We had to go and purchase all these items. The fridge wasn’t clean when we arrived. Carver chair in dinning room was broken! Suggestion for the downstairs bathroom to have the glass door replaced with a solid door, due to lack of privacy. Over all though we enjoyed our time in your property and we all slept well !! Despite the road traffic

  • "We had a lovely stay at the Wharfage."

    The house is in a brilliant location- we were able to explore a lot of the town by foot and enjoyed the museums, park and seeing the ironbridge. We were also able to drive to nearby Shrewsbury and The Hawkstone Follies. The house was well equipped, spacious and clean. It was good to have parking spaces too and seating outside. The only issue we had was that the coffee maker was full of old sludgy coffee when we arrived - we weren’t sure how to clean it so had to buy a cafetière to use for the week. It would have been good to have a couple of dishwasher tablets to get started but with the co-op across the road it wasn’t any trouble to get some. We couldn’t find a guidebook for the house so it took us a while to figure out how to adjust the heating temperature- we also found the hot water didn’t come on before 7am and we were not sure if this was a setting or a fault. A guide would have been useful for the recycling/ bins too. The downstairs bedroom was lovely but the mattress was quite uncomfortable. Also the downstairs bathroom has a window on the door out into the hallway - perhaps a curtain or blind would be good here as it was difficult to maintain privacy! We would recommend people staying in upstairs rooms wear slippers and not walk around in just their socks as the old wooden floor is quite slippy at the top of the stairs. We had a lovely stay in Ironbridge- thank you for letting this fantastic cottage.

The property

34 The Wharfage is a Grade-II listed, detached house in the heart of Ironbridge in Telford.

Sleeping up to eight people, this traditional house is suitable for large families or friends seeking an escape in Shropshire.

There is gated off-road parking for three cars and an enclosed front patio area with greenery designed for dog's and children's safety.

On the ground floor, you will find a convenient king-size bedroom.

There is also a family shower room downstairs, with a marble basin functionally placed just outside.

The kitchen is well-equipped and features a woodburning stove and a range cooker, perfect for trying out some Shropshire pudding recipes.

The sitting room is home to another woodburning stove and ample seating, ideal for unwinding in front of the Smart TV.

The dining area has additional seating, providing space to spend quality time with the family.

Be careful on the stairs, as there is a low ceiling and exposed beams, which is a feature throughout this home that oozes character and is enhanced by the original varnished flooring.

All three bedrooms upstairs have exposed beams and sloping ceilings.

These include a compact king-size, a king-size with an en-suite shower room, and a twin room with a cute window offering a view of the town, along with an additional family shower room upstairs.

This home is right in the heart of Ironbridge, with plenty of activities just a stone's throw away.

The Museum of The Gorge is a small, fact-filled museum nearby, with views of the river and the Iron Bridge.

For a larger museum, the Royal Air Force Museum Midlands is a great choice, featuring Cold War hangars, air shows, and food festivals hosted each year -so be sure to check the dates.

Enjoy Blists Hill Victorian Town, where staff play their part in immersing visitors in the Victorian era with period costumes.

You may also encounter some majestic Shire horses there.

National Trust Attingham is an 18th-century estate with beautiful flowers and greenery in the walled garden, a serene deer park, and a swanky tearoom where you can ponder life back in the 18th century.

Escape to 34 The Wharfage for treasured family time and traditional experiences.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £400.

IRONBRIDGE

Telford 6 miles; Bridgnorth 8.5 miles; Shrewsbury 15 miles.

Ironbridge Gorge is known throughout 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 a now a maze of footpaths, bridleways and country lanes whilst the delightful village is famous for being home of the world's first iron-built bridge, built between 1777-79. The village has a splendid variety of pubs, restaurants, shops and tea rooms and a collection of ten industrial and Victorian themed museums makes up the Ironbridge Museums Trust, including the exciting Blists Hill Victorian Village. Within driving distance are the popular historical towns of Shrewsbury, Bridgnorth, Much Wenlock and Ludlow, as well as the Wroxeter Roman City, the Severn valley Railway, the RAF Cosford Museum and many National Trust properties. Ironbridge is a wonderful base from which to explore the beautiful county of Shropshire.
