Sleepy Hollow, Jackfield

Fabulous little hideaway, cosy and welcoming well equipped home from home. Super pubs within walking distance. Great walks and the museums are a must. There is so much to see here. The welcome pack is great everything from home-made bread to sausage egg and bacon.

We arrived after a 6 hour journey to to the most beautiful hidden gem of a cottage, perfect for relaxing in. It's close enough to the local amenities that you can walk to them, pubs included, but far enough away from the rest of the world that you could be in the middle of nowhere and still have the Severn at the bottom of the garden. The cottage has everything that you will need, and more, for a self-catering stay with a lovely new kitchen. The very comfortable living area is light and airy with lots of seating, books, DVDs etc for nights in. The dining area is great with stone and wooden floors throughout. The star of the show is the stairs which lead to the cosy bedrooms with plenty of storage space and a bathroom with good shower (a must for me!) and bath. I can't really say too many good things about Sleepy Hollow if I'm honest but come prepared to explore the local area as it is stunning.

We really enjoyed our stay in this lovely cottage. It was a cold week in January and the sun does not get into this part of the Ironbridge gorge, but the cottage was very cosy and warm. It is really well-equipped with everything you need for an enjoyable, relaxing stay. The position is ideal for visiting the museums and for the numerous beautiful and interesting walks, with the church just behind the cottage being a hidden gem showing off the wonderful tiles and bricks made in the area. The kitchen in the cottage has everything you need for self-catering and there are lots of good options for eating out, including a friendly local pub just a couple of minutes walk away. We are looking forward to returning in the summer to enjoy the garden by the river.

We loved staying in this period cottage with all of it's quirky features. Although there are beams, open fires & stone floors, the cottage owners have gone out of their way to fit modern facilities with a fantastic full range which is ideal for cooking up the local Shropshire produce provided in the generous welcome pack! The cottage is situated close to Ironbridge & it's museums which is ideal; for avid geocachers like ourselves, there are walks from the doorstep across the beautiful gorge so we left the car behind for most of the week! We had deep snow for a few days so were very pleased to come back to the warmth of this cosy cottage-we will be booking again!

My daughter and I booked a short break during February. The location was perfect for exploring Ironbridge and we were able to walk to the majority of places which allowed us to explore the area as much as possible in the time we had. The cottage was beautifully kept and lacked nothing, the fire was laid and ready to light and there was a wide range of information provided, everything from bus routes to museum information.The welcome pack included local produce such as bacon, eggs, sausages, milk and home baked bread which were appreciated by us both. Unfortunately the weather kept us from enjoying the garden with views over the river so we sampled the local pub instead which I would also highly recommend. Overall we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and if returning to the area would dedinitely book to stay here again.

Outstanding.

Quiet location very close to the attractions that we had planned to visit. The cottage had a lovely garden next to the river Severn to enjoy a glass of wine & a meal in the evening, if we didn't go the the local pub which was walking distance from the cottage.

The cottage was just what we were looking for and would stay here again if we come back to the area. The cottage is on the river Severn within walking distance of many attractions including the local pubs.

As the title suggests, the cottage was perfect in every way and I've probably said it about another cottage but this one is the best I have stayed in to date..... The access road to the property was more a river than a road but I can't let that reflect negatively on the owners as they can't control the weather and alternative parking was offered close by. The welcome pack was exceptional and enjoyed by my wife and myself and our dog. The location of the cottage is central to everything in the locality and only time stopped us doing more. Will definitely be back if the opportunity arises. Thank you to the owners for a thoroughly enjoyable stay.

A superbly situated cottage with a high standard of furnishing and equipment.

Lovely, characterful cottage in a superb location for visiting Ironbridge and all that the area has to offer. The cottage itself was very well equipped and the owners have clearly thought about the comfort of their guests.

The cottage was lovely, extremely well equipped and very clean and tidy.

We stayed here as we wanted to be local to Ironbridge, but a little out of the way of the parking issues in the town. The cottage surpassed our expectations. We have stayed in many cottages around the country and this one is one of the best. The location, near to the Tile Museum is perfect for local pubs (all of which do good food, and accept dogs) and visiting the local attractions. There is plenty of dog walking. The old railway line is convenient for gentle strolls in either direction. The surrounding countryside offers everything else. Shropshire has a lot to offer. we used to live in the area and there is still a lot we haven't covered. The welcome pack was lovely, and all sourced locally. Fresh bread, marmalade, coffee, eggs, bacon, sausages... and even treats for the dogs. I haven't received a welcome pack like this before. The cottage was well equipped with all you would need in the kitchen, towels for the bathroom, a hairdryer, a dog bowl and towel. Again, all you would need for a break. The sitting room was comfortable and had a vast variety of books and DvDs for those quieter moments, or when the weather is not on your side. The little garden overlooking the river is beautifully kept and lovely for alfresco drinking. I would thoroughly recommend this cottage - though the stairs are not for small children or the less mobile.

A lovely Cottage. Would come back again.

The location was fantastic and it was a quirky cottage. It was quiet but with easy access to walks, pubs and the river. Very well equipped property. Hope to return.

The cottage was exactly what we wanted. There was loads to do in the area and we will be returning there! It was very cosy, with a log fire and comfy furniture.

This was a very nice cottage with ample amenities for our use. The owners had gone to a lot of trouble providing lots of extra items and local info on the area.

A wonderful cottage and so very welcoming. We immediately felt at home and loved the fact that it had plenty of charm. A great find and we would love to stay again!

Sleepy Hollow is simply a great place to stay! The Cottage has got everything you need, nice pubs around, very interesting historic places to visit.....We had a great holiday!

Outstanding area of history with World Heritage Museums and excellent scenic walks within most capabilities. The super standard of the cottage accommodation, its peaceful location yet with all amenities close by. The owners have done a splendid job of caring about their customers.

What an absolutely beautiful cottage in a superb location. A well appreciated welcome pack of food was waiting for us when we arrived. The cottage itself is ideal for all the local museums (we managed 7 out of the 10) - will have to go back to complete them all! Jackfield Tile Museum within about 50 yards of the cottage an absolute must. The only minor drawback was the fact that the road from Jackfield to Ironbridge was under repair and our nightly walk to eat was a little hair raising to say the least (no pavement and very narrow road). An added bonus was the wonderful neighbour and dog!

The cottage is fantastic and full of character. It is warm and cosy and has a lovely homely feel. Fabulous location, friendly neighbours. The owners had provided a really nice welcome pack of all sorts of goodies and we were chuffed to get a call from them to check that we were ok. Can't recommend this place enough, it is a hidden delight!

Well equipped. Good welcome pack. Good position for Iron Ridge and walks.

The house was just right for us, and the owners had obviously put a lot of thought into what we would need over the week. I wanted to take the cooker home with me!

This cottage is great for visiting the Ironbridge gorge museums it is very peaceful and well appointed. We arrived to find a welcome pack containing bread, butter, jam, and a bottle of wine. In the fridge was bacon, sausage, eggs, and milk. What a nice touch from the owners. The rooms were all well equipped and clean.

Great cottage warm, and welcome pack from owners very nice touch.

Great, didn't want to leave!

Lovely picturesque cottage, beautiful welcome package, great walks, friendly pubs with good food, within walking distance of Iron bridge, lots to do, Viking the Victorian village is a must. Will definitely recommend this holiday let to family and friends.

Wonderful place to relax, made to feel very welcome.

Great location, very peaceful but within walking distance of pubs and Ironbridge. Cottage very well equipped with a large comfortable lounge. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would recommend it.

The cottage and its facilities were excellent. It is in an extremely quiet location which made it all the more relaxing. We didn't use our car from the moment we arrived as there are numerous walks directly from the property. Ironbridge is an easy 10-15 minute walk away. The cottage was very warm and cosy with the added bonus of an open fire and wood burner. We will definitely return!

The location was perfect and the local amenities were within easy walking distance. The cottage was excellent and lighting the fire after being out in the snow, soon got us warm and cosy.
