Just visited for the second time and I love it! Such an amazing collection of ceramic tiles and the story and history behind the factory and tiles in general. I spent ages just walking around the showroom room and then the room at the end with so many tiles on display to see. Just beautiful. Made me want to go home and tile something! There were many designs I would love to use in my own home. With my Ironbridge annual ticket, I will try to visit one more time just to look again before my year is up.

Sandwiched between busy main roads and bustling surburbia , an oasis of peace and serenity greets the visitor to Sunnycroft . Passing slowly in a traffic jam we 'd previously noticed the NT sign and decided to visit, a worthwhile decision and very pleasant five hours spent exploring .We were welcomed at the carpark and walked down the magnificent driveway .An avenue of 100 year old Redwoods line the drive to the house .Huge , stately trees , amazing specimens , we could quite easily have been walking in California. The drive curves to give the first glimpse of the Edwardian red brick turreted house , we were just in time to join a lady for a very informative talk and short tour . In fact all the guides were so knowledgeable and you could sense the warmth of their feelings for the house . This minature stately house , having only eight bedrooms and the most wonderful galleried landing , full of family treasures was a delight to explore . So too were the gardens , a couple of sties and stables , orchards , meadow , kitchen garden . Borders and a formal lawn with crochet equipment and hulahoops for the kids , deckchairs to relax with a picnic and the afternoon tea in the sunshine ended a lovely visit . The lady owner was way before her time and had the most progressive ideas , she also had a fortune so was able to implement the planning , the rebuilding , the decor , to the highest standards . A surprisingly peaceful oasis amidst the fast pace of today's world .

Fab site in the gorge - really lovely location. We managed to find the last parking space overlooking the bridge and even in pouring rain it was an impressive sight. We had a good wander around the bridge area and the little shops in the town. Great place to while away a few hours.

Reviewed By xxluvleaxx - Chester, United Kingdom
Visited on Wednesday with my Mum as something to do before we booked into our hotel. The church and house were absolutely lovely, really enjoyed the visit, the NT staff and volunteers were friendly and knowledgeable about the property and we had a nice cup of tea and a scone in the little tea room. Mum also had a bowl of soup which she said was tasty and came with a huge chunk of bread!! It was a nice property and lots of interesting facts were learnt. We even bought a book from the second hand book stall. Great Hellebores in the gardens and lots of birds! The car park is £2 but free to NT members if you have your sticker, luckily Mum's was still in the book in the car! There are walking routes on a map in the car park too.

Very surprised with our visit here A small car park but admission was our favourite price FREE. Amazing how apart from the roof how much of it was still there more or less untouched state.Ideal place for a picnic or just to chill for a couple of hours taking in the ambience of it all.The vaulted ceiling is well worth a look and also remains of original floor tiles in places.Very Interesting Visit
