“Immaculate intimate B&B on the banks of the River Seven and walking distance from the historical sites and gastro pubs of Ironbridge. Light, contemporary rooms exude comfort as does the sitting room and well kept garden. Conveniently sited and decorated with skill and taste, a truly memorable stay.”

Hotel Review
Just what a B&B ought to be; very clean and neat, welcoming, and inexpensive. But unlike many B&Bs, the Library House is stylish. The owner is generous too. You will be offered a complimentary drink and a free pass to the local car parks - a real asset in a small and busy tourist town. There are four comfortable bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms and two very attractive public rooms with high ceilings, period details and modern touches. The sitting room was the old village library and has built-in bookcases, filled with solemn volumes. Its large bay window overlooks the river. The breakfast room is more modern, with bare pine joinery and excellent pictures by a contemporary artist. Crisp white linen and fresh flowers on the breakfast tables underline the care taken to make this a rather special guesthouse.
