“Five stars and well-deserved”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 July 2011
2
people found this review helpful

What a delight to find Library House almost directly across the street from the bridge . A large and comfy bed, spacious room, wonderful decor, and a great location. After a long day of sightseeing, it was so nice to come back, enjoy a glass of wine or beer offered by Lyndsay and relax. Breakfasts were huge -- a cold starter selection with cereal, fruit and yogurts followed by your choice of hot entrees if you had room. Parking is in one of two public lots within about two blocks but Lyndsay provides a resident permit for the window. We were able to walk to restaurants in the evening. Everything about Library House is a positive and I wish every place we had booked this vacation was equal to the high standards here.

Room Tip: We loved our front room with its view of the front courtyard and a peek at the gorge.

“Fantastic”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 July 2011

What a delightful stay. The hosts, Lizzie and Robert, were wonderful and made us most welcome. The room was perfect - comfortable bed and absolutely spotless. We stayed for 2 days and the welcome drink in the lounge was much appreciated before we went out for dinner. Lizzie rang the restaurant prior to our arrival at the venue and we were well looked after, even getting a discount on the bill for our meal. This is a B & B that we would love to use again and we have no hesitation in recommending it to others.

“A Gem”

From the moment we arrived we felt welcome, and Lizzie was always on hand to offer advice or answer questions about places to visit. The whole house was very well decorated and furnished, and there were many interesting modern prints on the walls.
Although our room was at the front of the house, there was hardly any noise from the road. Breakfast was very good, with several innovative and tasty additions to the traditional breakfast menu.
Ironbridge has a wealth of places of historical interest to visit, all of which are within walking distance. For a good evening meal we would recommend Da Vinci's which is a couple of minutes' walk from Library House.

“The Best !”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 June 2011

person found this review helpful

What a lovely find. We absolutely love this place it was immaculate and very close to all amenities. We didn't need to use the car at all which is always a bonus and Lizzie & Rob sorted us with a parking pass which meant no car parking charges. We were made to feel so welcome and their restaurant recommendations were spot on. Worth a return visit just to see Fizz again. Can't wait until our next visit.

Get yourself into Ironbridge and stay here. You will be excellently catered for at The Library House. Enjoy the area and the local food.

I loved every minute of our stay. As for value for the stay. It was worth every penny.....we had a lovely relaxing time.
