Hi I’m Yvonne. Having worked as cabin crew for a major airline for many years, and owned a pub restaurant, I am passionate about great customer service and hope to help make your stay as comfortable and special as possible. I live close by so am available if you need me but will leave you to enjoy your holiday in peace otherwise. I look forward to greeting you and I hope you will love our little Penny Black Cottage.
Ironbridge gorge and Coalbrookdale are a UNESCO world heritage site, recognising their history as the birthplace of industry. There are 10 award winning museums scattered around the local area, including the Museum of Iron, and Enginuity which are 300 yards from the cottage. Blists Hill Victorian Town offers a glimpse into the lives of the workers in days gone by. There are a wealth of welcoming pubs and restaurants within walking distance, and walks along the River severn and the wooded hillsides of the gorge. Telford, with its conference centre, shops, cinemas and restaurants is about 10 minutes drive. For the more adventurous, Shrewsbury, The Royal Airforce Museum Cosford, and hikes over the Wrekin, the long Mynd, and the Stiperstones are within easy reach by car
