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.

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.

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.

Amazing Find in a beautiful location

Absolutely fantastic two day break and the only negative was it wasn’t long enough, cottage itself was cosy & inviting and had everything you could possibly want or need, host Annie was very welcoming and provided us with a lovely welcome basket with delicious goodies, can’t wait to return in the near future with hopefully a longer visit.

About the host

Hosted by Mrs Anne-Marie Hawkins

My Husband and I have been refurbishing properties for over 25 years. In 2019 we decided to turn our cottage Little Gem on Cartway into self catering accommodation.
The cottage was modelled on everything we would want in a holiday home when we go away and have failed to find or have been sadly disappointed. Little Gem is now joined by Shining Star also on Cartway and listed on VRBO.

Why they chose this property

Little Gem enjoys a wonderful location on the historic Cartway a route used in the past by laden donkeys to bring goods up from the River Severn from barges moored by the Quayside. It has views from the sunny back terrace down to the River Severn and across to High Rock. It is decorated to high standard and offers spacious accommodation for just 2 adults The cottage is stocked with essentials, washing up liquid, toilet rolls, tea and coffee, cereals and more we even supply logs for the Little Wenlock Aga wood burning stove ( Small fee of £10 per stay) You will not be disappointed if you book one of our AWARD WINNING cottage. Just read our reviews!

What makes this property unique

Little Gem is different to other self catering accommodation, we can offer you :-
* A Private Parking Space at a small fee minutes from the cottage (must be pre booked as shared with Shining Star.
* Scenic Views across the River Severn.
* Extras including a small Welcome Basket, breakfast essentials, logs, kindling and even matches for the fire. If you use the fire we ask for a small contribution of £10 per stay.
* One small well behaved dog allowed upon request, £10 charged per night.
