### Pass the Keys | Peaceful riverside gem Shropshire Ironbridge Gorge

A cosy comfortable cottage to relax & unwind, quietly tucked away down by the river in Jackfield.  
  
🍻Fantastic location, an easy walk to local pubs, cafes and restaurants.  
  
🏭The historic Ironbridge & museums are a gentle stroll or a short drive away  
  
🐾This dog friendly cottage with its beautiful enclosed garden is perfect for exploring the stunning Shropshire countryside, with walks direct from the door on a network of bridle paths, footpaths and traffic free trails.  
  
At Drake Cottage, we aim to offer you (and your dog) a comfortable and relaxing retreat in the heart of the Ironbridge Gorge, where you can unwind and enjoy all the area has to offer.  
  
Drake Cottage is dog friendly and blends modern amenities with the charm of a Shropshire countryside cottage, providing a peaceful retreat for couples, friends and solo travellers alike and is perfect for exploring the stunning Shropshire countryside, with walks direct from the door on a network of bridle paths, footpaths and traffic free trails.  
  
Tucked down at the end of a no through road and overlooking the River Severn, this is a wonderfully peaceful place to stay in the heart of the stunning Ironbridge Gorge.  
  
Drake Cottage is a charming terraced home, one of four, nestled in a quiet residential street in Jackfield, at the heart of the historic Ironbridge Gorge.  
  
Your Accommodation  
You’ll enter through a small hall, perfect for hanging coats and leaving shoes after a day of exploring.  
To the right is a comfortable lounge-diner, with a large double sofa and a smart TV equipped with Netflix, iPlayer, Prime, and more (just log in with your own accounts). There a selection of games and a book swap, perfect if you’ve forgotten your own or want to swap for a new read. The room is made extra cozy by an electric fire with a flickering flame effect. While it’s not real, it’s just as inviting! A sash window overlooks the front garden, the bench is a lovely quiet spot to enjoy your morning cup of tea while watching the many birds visiting the bird feeder.  
The dining area has a round table with four chairs, ideal for meals or board games. Patio doors lead out to the garden, bringing in plenty of natural light.  
  
Off the lounge-diner is a compact yet fully equipped kitchen with everything you need for your stay, including washing up liquid, dishwasher tablets, kitchen roll and a welcome pack of tea, coffee, and biscuits for your arrival. There’s a gas oven, gas hob, under-counter fridge with icebox, dishwasher, kettle, and a Tassimo coffee maker with starter pods. The kitchen window overlooks the back garden, and there’s a back door providing easy access to the outdoor space.  
  
The garden at Drake Cottage has steps leading up to a decked patio with a wooden table, chairs, and a parasol—perfect for outdoor dining. There’s a small lawn area, while the rest of the terraced garden is planted with shrubs, flowers, and in summer we like to try and grow lots of sunflowers, green beans, and far too many billowy cosmos.  
  
Upstairs at Drake Cottage, stairs with a handrail lead to the first floor. The double bedroom has a comfortable double bed, bedside tables with lamps, a large mirrored double wardrobe with plenty of hanging space, and a generously sized chest of drawers. The window overlooks the front garden, the riverside footpath and the River Severn.  
  
The single bedroom includes a chair and a chest of drawers but there is no hanging space in this bedroom. The window overlooks the garden and the woodland gorge behind.  
  
The modern bathroom has a bath with an overhead drench-style shower that provides excellent water pressure—guests often comment on how fantastic the shower is. Complimentary toiletries, including shampoo, conditioner, and body wash, are provided, along with toilet rolls for your convenience.  
  
Guests will have access to the whole cottage  
  
Drake Cottage is dog-friendly, and we’d love to welcome your furry companions. The Ironbridge Gorge is a fantastic place for dogs, with many pubs, restaurants, and shops happily welcoming them too. While staying, we simply ask that dogs keep their paws on the floor and enjoy the cozy downstairs spaces. With so many great walks nearby, it’s the perfect spot for you and your four-legged friend to explore and unwind together.  
  
Please Note: There is an additional charge for each pet. £20 per pet.  
  
We charge £20 for the additional cleaning required.  
  
Electric Vehicle Charging  
We do not have an electric vehicle charger at the cottage.  
The nearest rapid chargers are in Madeley, a 10 minute drive away. There’s a bank of Instavolt at KFC / Aldi, and also an Osprey bank at the Britannia Inn.  
Much Wenlock car parks and Apley Estate Farm Shop and Cafe have slow chargers.  
Please check your Zap map for type, location, availability and speed.  
  
Mains Septic Tank  
We are on a mains septic tank waste system and only toilet paper can be flushed down the toilet. Any wipes etc must go in the waste bin provided. There are sanitary disposal bags in the loo roll basket for any products that need to go in the bin.  
  
Quiet Hours  
Drake Cottage is in a very peaceful part of Ironbridge Gorge surround by nature. We do ask that all guests are respectful to both our neighbours and the wildlife and maintain minimum noise. We try and keep quiet hours from 11pm to 7am.  
  
IMPORTANT: On behalf of our host at Pass the Keys, we require guest verification facilitated by Truvi (Previously called Superhog). Upon confirming your booking, Truvi will contact the lead booker via a secure link, providing detailed instructions for the verification process.  
  
The online verification requires a government-issued photo ID and a credit or debit card. During this process, you may choose between a refundable GBP 500 deposit (plus GBP 10 transaction fee currency equivalent) or purchase a non-refundable damage waiver of GBP 40 (currency equivalent) to cover potential damages during your stay.
