Dave and Marian, the hosts at The Woodlands B&B Ironbridge
Dave & Marian · your hosts since 2019
A welcome from your hosts

A modern retreat, run by two people who love it here.

Dave and Marian fell for this spot in 2019, drawn in by the peace and the views over the Gorge. They have spent the years since turning it into the calm, contemporary stay it is today.

Every room is finished to a proper standard, the breakfast is cooked fresh each morning, and there is always time for a chat over coffee about where to walk and where to eat. You will likely be greeted by one of the three resident cats, a wise old tabby and two black and white boys, who consider the garden very much their own.

Book through this site and you deal with Dave and Marian directly, not a call centre. The best rate, a real welcome, and everything ready for when you arrive.

The Setting

Quiet woodland above a world heritage gorge.

The Woodlands sits up on Orchard Lane, surrounded by Shropshire countryside and looking down towards the River Severn. The noise drops away, the views open up, and the whole of the Ironbridge Gorge is on your doorstep.

Breakfast

The kind of breakfast people write reviews about.

Cooked fresh each morning by Dave, with produce from the local butcher and baker, and served at a table looking straight out over the countryside. Guests call it "cooked to perfection" and, more than once, "unbelievable."

  • Local Shropshire produce
  • Cooked to order each morning
  • Vegetarian & dietary needs welcome
  • Fresh coffee, juice and a slow start
  • In the dining room or out in the garden
  • The famous cat-print crockery
The Garden

Where the day winds down.

Sweeping lawns, mature birch, and quiet corners that look out over the wooded gorge. Pour a glass, find the tree bench, and let the resident cats decide whether to join you.
