Absolutely fantastic. Cannot rate Little Gem high enough. Excellent location on Cartway, very close to all amenities (shops/pubs/restaurants) and plenty of good walks to explore. Very clean and welcoming (even a little basket of goodies and essentials in the fridge await your arrival). Perfect for a weekend getaway.

Perfect cottage

A beautifully modernised cottage ideally located for easy access to shops and cafes/restaurants. A particular bonus is the garden, which is a real sun trap and has fantastic views of the town. If you bring your dog, it is also really easy to access some excellent walks directly from the front door.

Bridgnorth visit

The property is in an ideal position, car parking a short walk away. The lounge could be laid out better a couple of fireside chairs that could be moved closer to the tv in the evening if you want to watch it the settee is to far away from the tv and takes up to much space

We had a lovely weekend in pretty Bridgnorth, visiting family for a special birthday, and our stay in Little Gem was the cherry on the cake! Annie went out of her way to make sure we had everything we needed, organising a nearby parking space,.providing delicious fresh bread and our choice of milk, alongside a well-stocked breakfast selection - there was even a little pre-christmas treat!The cottage itself is exquisite - perfect for two, decorated in calming tones, with a comfortable bed and an amazing bathroom. There was a generous supply of toiletries in the bathroom and extra blankets for snuggling, although the cottage is very warm and snug.Cartway is at the heart of High Town, the more historical part of Bridgnorth, and it is worth mentioning that there are lots of narrow winding roads, steep walkways and steps. Little Gem cottage is full of character and in keeping with the old town, which is very much part of it's charm.Thank you, Annie, for your great communication and thoughtful touches in the cottage, we hope to return very soon!

Absolute perfection

We stayed over the Christmas period as was a surprise trip for my husbands 50th birthday and on arrival we had a lovely hamper which was a really special touch. The cleanliness and upkeep of the property was absolutely spot on. A really beautiful warm homely cozy cottage with a lovely view from the little garden. There is nothing that wasn’t thought of from info on days out, info about the cottage to the lovely decor. Anytime I needed to ask the owner a question she was there and nothing was any trouble. The cottage is set in a perfect location just off the little village which also has everything you need. Would I return again without a shadow of a doubt absolutely loved it xx

WOW!!! Wonderful cottage, great location and very thoughtful owner :-)

The cottage was all we had hoped for, and more. It has been beautifully restored and is extremely comfortable. The owner was very quick to reply to any pre-book-in queries. She provides lots of 'supplies' in the cottage - even things like rice and spaghetti. We didn't have to take much with us at all really. The log burner was excellent, with plenty of logs provided. We were delighted when we arrived, to find a 'welcome basket' filled with all sorts of vegan goodies - never seen a welcome basket like it! This is fits with how caring the owner seems to be about her guests; she really has thought of everything! Will definitely be going back.

Cool Cottage

This quaint cottage on an historic byway was the perfect place for my husband and my 3-night stay in beautiful Bridgnorth. The decor was inviting and comfortable and the appointments were thoughtful and up-to-date. The bed was luxurious and the water pressure in the shower was wonderful. The cottage was well-located to everything we wanted to do and Annie was a gracious and friendly host. We highly recommend this cottage and will stay here again next time we return to the area.

Charming cottage, beautifully maintained in lovely part of Bridgnorth

We had a lovely few days staying in Annie's cute little cottage in Bridgnorth . Annie was very welcoming and we really appreciated the welcome basket with GF goodies for me. The Cartway is a great location for exploring the town and the surrounding area, with lots of excellent pubs and eateries close by. We also enjoyed a couple of BBQs in the garden. The tea rooms further up the Cartway boast the best views in Birdgnorth, but they're wrong - Annie's garden wins that prize! We had a nice day out on the steam train and enjoyed a couple of trips to Ironbridge. It's a great area for walkers, but beware - Shropshire doesn't seem to be quite as hot at maintaining public footpaths as other counties, especially unnamed routes. If you're eating out, we'd recommend the Indian menu at Thali Ho, breakfast at Butlers, Sunday roast at the Atrium and pizza at Peepo, though there are a host of other places we didn't have time to try.

This cottage really does spark love at first sight. Immaculately clean and beautifully decorated with everything needed. Warm & cosy with log burner and logs / coal provided if ever wishing to have a night in - resting from the excellent selection of local restaurants and pubs.
