    A perfect cottage in an excellent location. The cottage is small but has everything you need for a comfortable stay. The garden is well enclosed and dog proof. Good communication from the owners and they even left us some treats. There are walks from the door and some very good pubs and eateries all within a 20 minute walk. A perfect holiday

    It was a shame that the double bed mattress wasn’t very comfy and the handle on one side of the bed just was awkward when you sat on the edge of the bed to get out. That’s was the only down side.

    The whole cottage was beautiful and decorated to a high standard with everything you needed. The location was perfect for walks and pubs nearby. Shower was good which was a bonus too as in someplaces they aren’t great. Just perfect

    Nothing - perfect

    What a gem of a place – if you read all the great reviews, they don’t do justice to the property, owners or location! The cottage was spotless and had everything to could imagine. It really was perfect home from home, great communication from the get go, we even got a message on the day of our arrival telling us that the property was ready and we could check in early (we didn’t as we had a full day planned on the way down). The location is perfect, with a number of pubs / places to eat within walking distance. Ironbridge is about 30 mins easy walk from the cottage. Very easy to find with the information supplied by the hosts. The local pub The Boat Inn is a full 45 second walk away and is amazing, felt like a local from the first time we went in (a very busy, dancing, DJ night going on). One of the locals found a seat for us – had a great night. They don’t do food, but plenty of other options close by – or go mad and cook in the kitchen at the cottage, it has everything you need including a dishwasher.

    Fabulous property perfectly situated to stroll and grab a coffee in the artisan centre next door, grab a pint at the pub 2 mins away and take the dogs for fabulous walks. Such an interesting part of the world with so much to do. The cottage felt like a home from home and everyone locally was just so friendly and accommodating.

    There wasn’t anything we didn’t like.

    It’s a beautiful cosy cottage overlooking the river. It was very clean and quiet. The decor was lovely & light & it had everything we needed. A good tele & internet too. The bed was comfy & the shower was really good.

    Nothing - everything was perfect.

    This cottage is an absolute gem. Spotlessly clean, well equipped and very very comfortable. The location was also ideal for walking and exploring - we didn't need to use our car at all in the three days we visited. The host, Sarah, was a great communicator in advance of the stay, advising us about where to park safely due to flooding in the local area and providing tips for New Year entertainment in nearby Ironbridge. I'd love to return to explore the area more at a warmer time of year as it really is a wonderful location - we just timed our visit poorly with the storms!

    This was our second stay at Drake Cottage following our previous visit in February. We love this place, such a peaceful place to unwind and relax after a busy Christmas. The cottage is tastefully furnished, spotlessly clean, cozy and warm. Jackfield is a very friendly community. The Boat Inn is full of character and very dog friendly. Plenty of places to visit nearby. Hopefully we will be returning soon

    The cottage was clean, cosy and in a fabulous location. There were loads of lovely walks from the doorstep and the Boat Inn just along the road was a great little pub. The locals made us feel incredibly welcome. Sarah and Chris were great hosts and decorated the cottage beautifully for our Christmas stay. We will definitely be back!

    Could have used some more cutlery - with only two of us staying we didn’t use enough to fill the dishwasher so had to keep washing up. Not the end of the world I know, but a few more teaspoons would be great.

    Absolutely beautiful property. Really well equipped - it had everything you could want and more. Well maintained and decorated in a lovely way. A real gem of a place. Stunning views and the hosts couldn’t have been more helpful.
