  The property was nice to look at, but once we unpacked there were little things that let the property down.

  For example, no welcome booklet with relevant information in (eg wifi password etc). Also we were told the hot tub would work instantly and in fact it was at 15degrees Celsius and took over 12 hours to heat up so we only used it on the morning of check out - the hot tub was the main reason we chose this property over others. If there had been info in a welcome booklet we might have checked things out earlier and put it on the day we arrived. We had some very disappointed children on Sunday. Also there was a lot of glass in the grass which is just unacceptable when you’re renting to a group with children. There were no high chairs - so again, if you’re not aiming it at families that’s fine but otherwise these are basics. Similarly, no tin foil/cling film, kitchen paper, dishwasher tablets. The dustpan and brush was very cheap and you couldn’t pick things up with it. The mattresses were uncomfortable and all of the headboards banged very loudly against the wall everytime you moved. Towels were missing from one of the rooms so we had to keep contacting the property manager - the spares were under a bed straight on the carpet and there were spiders so we ended up having to wash the towels to use them. Some of the towels were stained. It’s such a nice property but feels like all the furnishings and bits and pieces have been done cheaply. If someone is paying nearly such a substantial amount for 2 nights, there is an expectation that things will be ‘quality’. We also found it hard to cook with the small pans - the property has 4 double bedrooms so with 8 people, that should be considered. Finally there was a very unpleasant sewage-like smell in the property - attempts had been made to cover it up with air fresheners (which we were grateful for) but it was quite strong at times. The place has a lot of potential - it just needs some minor improvements to make it comfortable.

  My stay at 31 Riverside was incredibly enjoyable from start to finish.

  Though I didn't meet the hosts in person, communication was seamless. They provided clear instructions for check-in, making the process easy and stress-free. It was clear they cared about providing a great experience, as everything I needed was carefully laid out, and they were quick to respond to any questions. The cleanliness of the house was outstanding. Upon arrival, I immediately noticed how well-maintained and spotless the property was. The house was impeccably clean, with every room tidy and thoughtfully arranged. The living area was inviting, making it easy to feel at home and comfortable. 31 Riverside offers a peaceful and relaxing environment, and the attention to detail in both cleanliness and convenience made for a truly pleasant stay. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a comfortable, hassle-free retreat! One of the standout features of the property is the cave with the hot tub. It truly offers a unique and luxurious experience. The cave is beautifully designed, creating a cozy atmosphere, perfect for unwinding. The hot tub, surrounded by natural stone and ambient lighting, provides the ultimate relaxation after a day of exploring.

  We have rented this property many times and each time it lives up to our expectations so that is the best recommendation, we have also booked again for later on in the year.

  But for those who are thinking about booking you won't be disappointed. It is beautifully kept and well equipped. The beds and 3 piece suit are all very comfortable with added soft furnishings for extra comfort. All in all our little bit of heaven to escape from rat run. The top bedroom stairs could be difficult for some but this is always the room of my choice as its so bright in the day but still cosy in the morning. The hot tub is lovely and located in the most perfect spot so come rain or shine it's a pleasure. The cottage is well situated close to the town with plenty shops. We have booked other properties but this is definitely our favorite. We don't have a dog anymore and it always surprises me that I have never found evidence of a dog in the house which just shows the high standards of cleanliness. The owners communication is brilliant and responded to any questions we had very quickly. Nothing was to much much trouble to ensure our stay was complete. The black boy pub just behind the cottage is recommended, no frills just a nice friendly pub.

  No 7 is approximately 30 minutes walk to Ironbridge.

  Two museums conveniently situated directly opposite the house to visit and a fantastic but pricy cafe but these local attractions are not open Mondays or Tuesdays. Great location for all of the Blists Hill associated museums and you can also take dogs to Blists Hill and the gorge museum which is a big plus but none of the others we found allowed dogs. The cottage itself is very quaint, decorated and furnished to a good standard. I didn’t realise I needed to bring a hairdryer as I assumed it would be a standard item, there are three televisions and three toilets! We visited end of February and the log burner is still not connected sadly and there is a draft from the fireplace but throws are provided, the heating works well and the water pressure is off the scale! Very handy large cloakroom. Hopefully the lighting in the bathroom and a shower issue will be fixed next time we come. Would highly recommend this place, especially if you like walking as there are lots of hill walks from the house locally, my boys spotted deer and a fox at close distance :)

  This is a lovely cottage in a good area for branching out and visiting places such as Chester, Shrewsbury , Birmingham.

  It was clean and tidy inside and the beds were really comfortable. There was ample kitchen utensils and appliances in the kitchen. Areas for improvement could include; The cooker hob took a little while to figure out without any instructions, leading us to have to google how to operate it. There was a definite underlying smell of damp in the downstairs WC with noticeable mould spores on the peeling paint. The upstairs bathroom had a damp smell too. It would have also been good to have control over the bathroom radiators as having to leave damp towels hanging around only added to the overall damp smell. There is no outside area to hang towels if it is sunny so they stayed damp throughout the week. It would have been useful to have a lamp in the sitting areas at night instead of the wall lights as these reflected onto the TV screen. We enjoyed our stay here and liked the cottage and its location but wouldn’t stay again due to the dampness.
