Hodge Bower Holidays, Ironbridge - Sedgwick

Clean, modern with separate kitchen diner.

Bed wasn’t very comfortable and on the small side.even though we had allocated parking someone still took our space and left us no where to park.

It was a nice property inside

Hard to find with narrow roads. We checked in late evening got lost and host would not pick up phone communicated by text and the keysafe code given by email was wrong.

Positives: The apartment was spacious, lovely size kitchen, which was well equipped with comfortable seats. The TV was easy to access. Lovely quiet position with no traffic noise. Well positioned for getting into Ironbridge and visiting the terrifc attractions close by like Blist Hills and Much Wenlock. Plenty of choice with places to eat. A delightful spot by the river at Jackfield The Half Moon Inn do great Mediterranean chicken skewers! The hosts had also left a very welcome plate of flapjack when we arrived. On the surface it was perfect. However....

The bed was far too soft and lumpy and we had chronic back ache every morning when we got up with the result we cut our stay short and left 2 days early and went into a hotel for those nights. Also, the duvet cover had no poppers on it and the duvet would slip out, which must have been the reason it was tucked in so tightly at the bottom. The kitchen table needed to be bigger and it was very wobbly. I had a look at it and the legs weren't screwed in tightly, which I rectified. We were unable to use the shower and had to bath as the switch to change from bath to shower was impossible to use. Also, behind the shower curtain the wall was showing evidence of mould. The seating area in the sitting room looked lovely but again was very soft and when we moved the cushions to try and make it more comfortable we were shocked to see masses of crumbs and other debris under the two seater settee cushions, we didn't look any further! My wife brought in a kitchen chair to sit on, which was far more comfortable. There was no indication of which of the wi-fi stations available was the one for Sedgewick. It was only through trial and error we eventually discovered the correct one. A note to this effect would have been extremely helpful.

Nice clean & tidy, parking slot outside. Good facilities , good free WiFi

The host didn’t reply to my text message. It was read but they didn’t respond. A neighbour living nearby seems to be all day on the doorstep watching everything and everyone. Found this offputting.

The walk to the main street was challenging. Not a great location without a vehicle.

Easier access to to a pub.

There was plenty of room and all the equipment you could need in the kitchen

The beds were a little uncomfortable maybe a mattress topper would help.

Sedgwick was clean, spacious and very comfortable.

Only drawback is the very steep narrow roads to the property. My old car isn’t quite built for them !
