Central England Prestige Awards

Puddle Duck Cottage and Duckling Cottage are beautifully presented, and they both have their own private drive with free parking and secure garden, offering guests a truly home from home holiday experience, in a tranquil and peaceful location at Jackfield, with direct access to traffic free scenic walks and cycle trails to enjoy during their stay.

There’s a great choice of places for guests to enjoy a bite to eat and drink, whether that be fine dining at a local restaurant, coffee, and homemade cake at one of the cafés or the perfect pint with a pub lunch at the many local hostelries which are all only a short walk away.

The picturesque centre of Ironbridge is just over a mile away with its lovely independent shops and is easily accessible on foot along the Severn Valley Way.

Although we may be dog friendly we are also keen to emphasis the fact that many of our guests that stay at the cottages don't have pets. We have gained numerous non dog friendly awards for our luxury self-catering cottages, the most recent was LUXlife Travel & Tourism Awards for Luxury Hidden Gem of the Year 2025. For this reason we are proud to say that our cleaning standards are exceptionally high, so much so we are confident that when you book a stay with us as a non pet owner you will be equally delighted with the luxurious standards we pride ourselves on and are consistently appraised for, this is reflected in our many five star guest reviews.

What an amazing cottage! Had a lovely stay at Sonia’s cottage . Everything was perfect for us  Sonia has thought of everything and some lovely touches for us all including Reggie the dog!! We would not hesitate to stay again.

Had a wonderful relaxing weekend at the Duckling Cottage, our first holiday with our puppy. Lovely cottage, great location and Sonia provides everything you need. Lots to do and great walks close by. One very tired dog when we got home.

Beautiful cottage in a beautiful location. Clean and tidy and very dog friendly. The owner was easy to contact and made our stay so easy to book with great tips on dog friendly walks, pubs etc. We would definitely stay again.

The cottages are beautiful, hosts are super friendly, large secure garden for dogs to play, lots of dog-friendly walks near by and dog-friendly pubs too.

These cottages are fantastic, well maintained, great location, plenty of walks on the doorstep for our 2 Beagles. We will be going again soon, highly recommend, the cottages are stunning.

Alison Horne

Lovely cottage with enclosed secure garden which allowed our Beagle to roam freely safe in the knowledge that he couldn’t escape. Easy access to the river Severn.
