Maintaining a traditional rustic style, this three-bedroom haven is the epitome of a classic English farm cottage, bursting with charm and retaining many wonderful original features.

The farmhouse-style kitchen welcomes you into the cottage, setting the rustic and rural atmosphere, leading through to the sunny adjoining dining room with plenty of space for your canine companion to accompany you as you dine as a family. After a long walkies, put your feet up in the cosy cottage-style living room around the wood burner, the perfect warm spot for Rover to curl up and doze off. Heading up the cottage-style turned staircase, you’ve got three delightful bedrooms to choose between, all with gorgeous views to send you and your four-legged pal to sleep with tails wagging.

Just 4 miles away from Bridgnorth is the UNESCO world heritage site at Ironbridge, which boasts the world-famous Bridge that you and your four-legged friend would be barking mad not to explore, not forgetting the fantastic surrounding independent shops, pubs and restaurants.

Another excellent stay at Hollybush over the Christmas period. The cottage remains very warm and comfortable with all the standard equipment you would expect and lots of local attractions plus a nearby supermarket. The internet can be patchy which was great to help us escape from screens and work etc but that may not be desirable for everyone.

We had an absolutely lovely stay at The Hollybush away from the fireworks. They had everything that we needed, apart from being able to access the internet. They did have WiFi but the signal wasn't great but this is to be expected when in the middle of a field. The property really has everything. It was warm and cosy and I could have happily stayedRead more another couple of weeks. The peace and quiet was perfect. Only one slight note was the fence by the shed was slightly low for our big boy. Hide

Second time we have stayed at the Hollybush, drawn back by the lovely quiet rural location and closeness to Brignorth, Ironbridge, Much Wenlock. Improvements would include additional washing up clothes tea towels etc As mentioned by other guests the step down to the dining room is rather large and could be a concern for older people. The center of Read morethe track leading to the property could be levelled off as our car almost bottoms out on it. All said we love it here and will return again sometime. Hide

Location perfect. Cottage is so secluded and ideal to really escape from life! The stairs are challenging and we both felt it should be mentioned as people with mobility issues would have a problem. Also step into dining room is about 24 inches. Everything else was great. Good location for visiting attracti9ns.

A bittersweet break as one of our dogs fell ill and had to be put to sleep a couple of days in to our break, however, we loved the house as much as when we were there last year. The weather was excellent all week and it was so pleasant just to sit outside and enjoy the peace. The house itself is well equipped, tho we took a portable blu-ray player Read morethis time as the TV apps didn't work as the internet is very intermittent and there is no phone signal (certainly not on Vodaphone).
