Cottage was clean and fully equipped, looks like most has been recently refurbished - don't know if it has but it just looked that way. Nice south-facing patio to relax if you get the weather. Heating, etc., worked great, though didn't try the fire as we were warm enough (in March). Caretaker Mike next door was very helpful. Very professionally run - couldn't think of anything that the 'user manual' didn't cover very clearly. Ironbridge is a tourist magnet for many reasons - scenery, spectacular location, museums, close to other things worth visiting - go visit it, and this is a great base for doing it. Comments you need to be aware of in other reviews are true - it is a very steep climb down to the village, road is quite narrow in places due to on-road parking, staircase is narrower than in modern homes and twisty - but vast majority of people will take these in their stride, we certainly did (and we're in our sixties).

This is a newly refurbished cottage and is very well equipped. We liked the location above the town, with great views and easy acesss to all of the locations of interest. Neighbours were friendly and helpful and we very much enjoyed walking in the local area and from the cottage. Ironbridge is a great location for an interesting break.

Artisan Cottage is beautifully refurbished, very clean and tastefully furnished. The walk into the town is extremely steep and, at this time of year, wet and slippery, however, the cottage is well situated for walking and exploring the historic environment of Ironbridge

A lovely cosy cottage a short, but be warned, very steep walk from the Iron Bridge. Lots to do and see with or without driving

Artisan Cottage on Hodge Bower is spotlessly clean and fresh. It is also well equipped and with a lovely space at the front for enjoying the evening sun. I would warn of the building work next door at the former pub. However this had no impact on the peace and tranquillity. I would also warn of the climb uphill if walking back from Ironbridge! It’s a five or so minute walk down, but double (and then some!) to get back up. I found the quicker way to take the many steps up that go from the square by the Hospice shop, and pass under the church. Mike next door was friendly and helpful and does a sterling job overseeing the cottage is in excellent order.

Excellent cottage for touring Ironbridge gorge and the rest of Shropshire. The cottage was very clean,well equipped and comfortable finding no problems at all with the accommodation and would use again when coming to this part of the country.
