What an excellent find, wanted to get away for a weekend, but where to, without it being a busman's holiday through travelling with work all over the country. Ironbridge popped into my head as I had stayed here for a night years ago so only saw a bit in the dark, then detouring through thinking I must stop and have a proper look one day - so here we are. I had a good look about at accommodation, and I kept coming back to The Foundry Masters House. What a good find it was, a lovely property in a quiet area, and a very warm welcome from Dawn when she answered the door. Our room was very nice, big bed, big bathroom, with the Holy Grail: a decent shower with consistent temperature. It was perfect for what we needed, a nice base from which to explore the history outside the front door and down the road. We were offered the option of an evening meal from a full menu, having driven a good few miles we decided to take the easy option, made easier by the fact that they are licensed. We have to say the food was excellent, as was the company of fellow guests on the shared dining table (they had intended to eat in just one night of their 5 away - they had eaten in every night its that good!). They actually pointed out a trick we missed with the full Ironbridge Museum pass (worth getting even if you are here a short time) if you are a couple get one normal multi pass and for very little more get the enhanced pass - then when you are getting refreshments at the various venues (not the Coalport YHA cafe) use your pass to get the various discounts it gives you.........anyway I digress. Breakfast was the Star though, local produce, a varied choice, decent coffee, and plenty of it, certainly fuelled you up for the day. As I mentioned at the top of my review, I have travelled quite a bit with work and stayed in many accommodations - If I could find a clone of The Foundry Masters House everywhere I needed to stay, I would be happy as Pig in you know what. Thank you Dawn and Danny
