the water rat has spotless and pleasing superior double rooms that met all our needs. it's a pleasant walk to the center to explore attractions. the staff were attentive and helpful, without exception. their service really stood out. having a fantastic range of well-prepared food just topped off our stay. a lovely experience overall!

totally recommend

We had an amazing two-night stay where the breakfast was out of this world, and our room was super cozy and clean with all the tea and biscuits we could want. The garden area was lovely for relaxing, and there were plenty of spots to unwind outside too. The only minor thing was the bathroom could use a little updating, but it didn't overshadow our great experience at all! 😊

The warm plate of sandwiches upon our late arrival was a lovely surprise, and the stunning river views added to our relaxing stay.

Charming stay with excellent service

I had a lovely time during my stay, the location near Ironbridge was fantastic, offering great views and easy access to local attractions. The room was spacious and clean, making it a comfortable retreat. Staff were attentive and welcoming, especially during our dinner where the meal presentation was impressive. the dinner service was a bit slow at times, which could be improved.

Take advantage of the fridges stocked with milk and water for a refreshing drink anytime.

The cozy decor of The Water Rat felt like a warm hug, making it an inviting escape. The spacious dining areas were elegantly designed, ensuring every moment spent inside was comfortable and enjoyable for everyone, including seniors.

More accessible seating options would be appreciated.

we recently stayed for two nights and were pleasantly surprised by how much better this place was than our last trip to ironbridge. the lovely and modern superior double room with a great view really exceeded our expectations. the breakfast was fantastic, featuring freshly cooked options that set us up for the day.

shower water temperature was inconsistent

perfect base for exploring ironbridge's natural beauty and history

I loved that we were just a short walk away from the stunning Iron Bridge and the peaceful Museum of the Gorge, making our city strolls all the more enjoyable, and the friendly staff made us feel right at home while serving up delicious meals during our stay.

The stay was quite pleasant overall, highlighted by the cozy decor and the spacious dining areas which created a welcoming atmosphere. The staff were excellent, always attentive and cheerful, which made our experience even better. it would have been nice to have more accessible seating options. It’s conveniently located for a lovely walk to the Iron Bridge.

the room was so comfy n had a good sized bathroom, staff were really excellent too. loved the food, the breakfast was amazin n dinner was good but coulda done with more menu options for the second night. also, the location is a nice walk to ironbridge, really picturesque n cozy.

we asked for a ground floor room but that got messed up, so we had 2 flights of stairs which was kinda annoying. also, the menu should change a bit to keep things interestin for longer stays.

Great location and friendly staff, but the Wi-Fi didn't work well in the room.

I had a lovely stay where the deliciously prepared food truly stood out. the exceptional attentiveness from the staff was also amazing and really enhanced our experience. I'd definitely come back again!

The accommodations are spacious and comfortable. Staff provide excellent service, always friendly and helpful. The breakfast is generous and well-prepared. The location is convenient, close to attractions. I had a great time overall. 😊
