Relaxing and Cosy Cottage
Location, mins walk from the Ironbridge. Parking for 3 cars. Spacious but cosy living spaces for 6 Adults, a large table for meals and gaming. Initially we were looking for 3 bathrooms but car parking won over as main priority - however, with one bedroom having an en-suite and another having a loo/sink plus the main bathroom we managed very well with no ‘waiting issues’. Plenty of hot water too and the showers were powerful. All beds extremely comfortable, no one felt hard done by.

Lovely cottage in a great location
The cottage layout was ideal for our family of three generations and a dog.
The cottage was very comfortable, clean, warm and had everything that we needed.
We loved the location near to a local park and a short walk onto Ironbridge.
Parking for both cars was a big bonus.
Thank you for the very thoughtful basket of treats and the voucher for a very tasty pork pie.
Definitely recommend staying here to our friends.

Location ideal and cottage very comfortable and well equipped.
We were keen to spend time looking at the various Ironbridge museums which were all good and the cottage ideally situated. Local pubs/restaurants all good and in easy walking distance allowing us to eat out as required.
Lovely property, spacious and had everything you could want. It's very well positioned for museums , pubs/Restaurants,( we recommend Embers/ The Swan for food and The Coracle for real ale) for food shop, park and a very short walk to the Iron bridge. The courtyard area was perfectly secure for our dog and plenty off road parking. We loved our short stay at Dale End Cottage.
Great property, comfortable and well equipped for our long weekend family reunion. Perfect location for exploring Ironbridge and close to shops, cafes and pubs. Lots to see and do close by too. A smart TV would have been nice for the one winter’s evening we stayed in. Will definitely stay again as it is close to family who live in the area.

Cleanliness and up keep disappointing
Dear Mr. Norman,Thank you for taking the time to share your detailed feedback, and please accept my sincere apologies for the delayed reply – with it being Easter week, we've been extremely busy, but I wanted to ensure I took the time to properly address your concerns.I'm very sorry to hear that your stay at Dale Cottage did not meet expectations, especially with an elderly guest in your party. We pride ourselves on maintaining high standards, and I’m genuinely disappointed that we fell short during your visit.I have now gone through each of the points you've raised:Upstairs Ensuite:The shower tray has now been unblocked – this can happen over time with use, but it’s now draining correctly.The hot and cold taps have been tightened – thank you for flagging this.The light fitting has been cleaned, and our cleaning team has been reminded to check and maintain this regularly.The heated towel rail runs off the main boiler, so it will only work when the heating is on – apologies this wasn’t made clearer.We usually provide a small bar of local soap in each bathroom and a larger bar in the welcome hamper. I’m sorry if these were missing – I’ve spoken with the team to ensure this is not overlooked in future.Family Bathroom:On inspection, I found that the extractor fan had failed, which caused the paint to peel and the build-up of moisture – this hadn’t been picked up by our cleaners, and I do apologise. This will be the first job for our maintenance man upon his

Lovely cottage in a great location
We stayed for three nights with two friends, and the cottage was perfect for or needs. Ironbridge itself is very interesting with some good pubs and coffee houses. There are also some lovely walks in the gorge itself, which we all enjoyed (especially our dog). The woods are full of wild garlic which looked tremendous. Just around the corner there is an EV charging station with free parking after 5pm. Recommend eating at the White Hart where we had two great meals.
An attractive cottage, well equipped and maintained with an enclosed outside space. Rooms were spacious and comfortable, as was our bed. The location was excellent, well placed for a short walk to Ironbridge, shops, pubs and restaurants. We had a very enjoyable stay and we were not disappointed with the cottage.
I chose this property because I thought it would work for the six adults in our family and it did not disappoint. The large, well-equipped kitchen with the table enabled family meals and games nights and the comfortable lounge with ample seating was a great place to sit and chat or just chill and unwind. The bedrooms were comfortable and the outside space would have been ideal for a quiet drink in the sun had we had the time! If we were to return to the area, I would not hesitate in staying again.
