The benefit of finding a holiday home with THREE double bedrooms in Ironbridge Gorge?

You can bring the whole family to explore and enjoy Shropshire!

Shropshire is perfect for families of all age ranges... from bringing the little ones and visiting the parks, playgrounds, ice cream shops and interactive museums, to bring the grandparents and exploring the National Trust properties, independent shops, quaint villages and towns and enjoying a coffee and a cake in the beautiful Shropshire countryside.

There's something for everyone.

It's all in the little details when you go on holiday isn't it?

It's going in to the kitchen and all the tools and equipment you might need to make a lovely, luxurious dinner already being there.

It's the nice wine glasses to enjoy the bottle you picked up when you went out exploring earlier that day (shoutout to Moonshine & Fuggles in Ironbridge for that)

It's the bottle of local milk and the nice coffee machine that's waiting for you when you arrive so you can enjoy a cuppa after driving to Shropshire to enjoy a UK holiday.

If you're staying with us in Ironbridge Gorge and exploring Shropshire... you simply mustn't forget Bridgnorth.

From its quaint cobblestone streets to the breathtaking views of the Severn Valley, this town offers a delightful blend of history and natural beauty.

There are plenty of cafe's to stop and enjoy a coffee and a cake as you wander through the streets (we love the Harry Potter themed Platform 10 Coffee Shop ☕

Take a scenic stroll to the ruins of Bridgnorth Castle, steeped in tales of battles and sieges and enjoying a ride on the historic Severn Valley Railway is a must-do!

Did you know that Bridgnorth even won 'Great British High Street' back in 2016?

Whether you're a history buff, a nature lover, or simply seeking a picturesque day trip whilst visiting Shropshire, Bridgnorth has something for everyone.

You've got to anticipate a little bit of rain on a UK holiday... But that's ok.

After a long day of exploring Shropshire, just pour yourself a glass of something delicious, pop the fire on and play a family board game!

We've got lots of them at Engine House that you can enjoy. Though we don't accept any responsibility for divorce or family feuds based on who the winners are 😬

There's a theory that Ironbridge Gorge was formed during the last ice age.

Some geologists believe that a large lake was formed as the ice melted, and as water levels rose, the overflowing water created fast flowing streams... Which cut through the rock to create the gorge we all know and love.

What do you think?

Imagine you're here, after a long day of exploring Shropshire.

You're enjoying a big, bubbly bath... you've lit a nice candle that you picked up from Fieldfare Candle Company at Maws. You're enjoying a large glass of wine from Moonshine & Fuggles - a small independent shop in Ironbridge Gorge with a great selection.

And you won't be cold when you get out, because the fire and the underfloor heating are on downstairs and and your takeaway is on its way. You've got some chocolatey treats from ChocTilly to enjoy after.

Life is good.

Ok so we've got strong opinions here and it's because chips by the bridge are an absolute essential in Ironbridge Gorge.

Chips and curry - 9/10 Delightful all year round but particularly warming in winter.

Chips and gravy - 8/10 Only in winter. Don't ask why. Feels very northern.

Chips and cheese - 8/10. Needs ketchup. Summer appropriate.

Chips and peas - 0/10. No.

Chips and mayo - 7/10 but this feels more like a pub snack.

Chips and beans - 6/10. Delicious but you'd spend so much time trying not to spill your beans you couldn't take in the beautiful Iron bridge and the view.

Thoughts?!

My opinion: they all have their place apart from chips and peas (I’m fine with chips and peas together, just not with peas on top of the chips like a sauce, keep them separate) and chips and beans (same argument as the peas, keep them apart, beans are not a sauce). The top two (curry sauce and gravy) are God Tier, the rest I would happily eat if I was hungry enough but I wouldn’t choose them. So ends my opinion.

An Eley's pork pie is ICONIC. A must-do if you're visiting Shropshire.

Cosying up with a fire, a book and a glass of wine when it's raining outside is one of life's greatest and simplest pleasures.

It's freezing outside right now but that blue sky is making us think of the summer sun.

We were going to start this post off with 'Spring - is that you?!' and then we realised we might actually be in that well known season known as FAKE SPRING.

Which is when we all get excited, put our coats away in the loft, put the washing lines out, go to the garden centre and start planting bulbs, and then two weeks later we're wearing woolly hats and gloves again.

Nevertheless, whether it's fake spring or real spring - Ironbridge Gorge is a BEAUTIFUL place to enjoy it.
