伯斯里酒店推介

We had the most wonderful stay at Heritage View Guest House for 2 days celebrating my in laws diamond anniversary. When I was looking for accommodation near the Ironbridge I wanted to make sure it was near the town and somewhere extra special for the occasion. From the moment the lovely host Julie greeted us at the guesthouse and showed us the beautiful views of the Ironbridge from the bedroom windows, I knew I had made the best choice of where to stay. The rooms very lovely, we were spoilt with home made cakes and a choice of perfectly cooked breakfast too. Julie was so warm and welcoming and I would highly recommend her guesthouse if you are looking for somewhere to stay near the Ironbridge.

Book a room above a pub for a Friday night in August, and it’s caveat emptor, so I won’t complain about the loud, beer-fuelled, sweary conversations going on just below our charmingly single-glazed and ill-fitting window until past midnight. I will, though, about the staff having what sounded like their own drunken revelry whilst clearing up, not appreciating that sound travels upwards and in an old building you can hear EVERYTHING in the rooms whether coming from inside or outside. When they eventually departed around 1.30am, one mindfully said ‘can you be quiet: we have residents’, which his colleagues laughingly ignored, carrying on loudly yabbering, again, right below us. Banging doors inside ceased around 2am and started again at 6am. I’ll also note the pub’s outside lights, which shine into the room, not going off until around 1am, maybe later. Coming on the back of the hot water running out that evening when my bath had, oh, about four inches in it, it was only ever on for four stars. A magnificent breakfast could have rescued a third star (I have to recognise it’s good value at c.£50; one star would be unfair). It was very good, but took almost half an hour to arrive, so, sorry, two stars. And, to be fair, it was a very comfortable bed to lie awake in.
