Hodge Bower Holidays, Ironbridge - Sedgwick

Location was good breakfast not included

The apartment was lovely. On arrival it was clean and there was a little welcome treat (flapjacks) on the kitchen table which went down a treat! There are two spacious double bedrooms with nice bed linen and towels for everyone. The sitting room is a great space. The views are lovely. It's situated a really short walk from Ironbridge, but ne warned, it's a steep hill when you're coming back up!!!!!! Would definitely stay again, was a shame we inly stayed one night to be honest!

There were no champagne flutes for our prosecco.

Location was perfect. The apartment was a very generous size...homemade flapjacks a nice touch.

Unfortunately the accomodation was let down by quite a few things. The cleaning standards were very poor. Found a tissue under a bed and a rizla wrapper and a bottle top in another bedroom that my dog got hold of and was chewing. The oven was very dirty! and even the side had food on it...clearly not cleaned. One of the beds looked like it had been used and the linen was tired and the sheet didn't fit the bed!...beds were uncomfortable..very springy in both bedrooms...towels were old and one stained with bleach badly! The bathroom shower we struggled to get to work as ran from the taps had difficulty trying to raise the pull bit but after struggling my husband managed it but said it's in need of repair. Looking at old reviews this had been mentioned previously by someone...it also leaked water. The kitchen lighting was very poor and a minor thing...new battery probably needed in kitchen clock as wasn't working...but surely such a simple fix. Kettle really needed a descale. On arrival the communal stairs area was fillthy! Mud everywhere and clearly not from one day...there were tablets..antihistamines in one of the kitchen lower cupboards at reach of a child....a health and safety issue there and the kitchen table wobbled badly as leg/s very loose...we spilt our tea because of it...again another health and safety issue. Such a shame as these apartments with more love and maintenance could be beautiful...I hope these comments will be taken on board and addressed but I've read past comments mentioning some of the above so feel they haven't been actioned..hence we didn't contact the owners. We stayed only for 1 night but had it have been for longer we would've had to contact the owners.

The location was lovely The kitchen was spacious and generally it's a well proportioned property for a family of four We were able to take our dogs

The entrance hall carpet and staircase was really grubby. In the ground floor hallway there were 3 mops and buckets against the wall as well as 'laundry bags' pushed into a corner. The property is somewhat jaded and in need of tlc. Inside one of the kitchen cupboards there were 8 bread rolls covered in green mould. The tray for cutlery contained crumbs. We felt the need to wash all items of crockery and cutlery before use. The beds were uncomfortable, made worse by the poor quality linens and duvets (which were so thin!). We had to replace the batteries in the TV remote control. Incidentally we had a visit from the 'regular' cleaner a couple of hours after check in. She had been sent by the owners to check up because a stand in cleaner had been used. We told her about the bread rolls and she asked if she should come in for a look around. I declined this, she was very pleasant and I told her it wasn't her fault.

Spacious, lovely location.

We have been coming here for a few years and was dissapointed this time! The apartment was not that clean, lots of marks and stains on the walls/ furnishings. No oven gloves. No kitchen towel or spray to wipe down sides. Christmas tree not out when it normally has been. Very few glasses and cutlery in drawers. Kitchen table very unsteady, unable to sit and have dinner as it was flimsy! Duvet cover missing buttons, so duvet comes all out.
