About The Swan Taphouse

The Swan Taphouse is an adults-only B&B, a detail that sets it apart from the family-oriented options scattered around Ironbridge Gorge. It occupies a spot on The Wharfage, close to the River Severn, in the heart of Shropshire's Ironbridge.

Rooms come with en-suite bathrooms and drinks provided, and the property runs a 24 hour reception so arrival times are flexible. Breakfast is served each morning, and there's a bar and restaurant on site for guests who'd rather not venture out in the evening. Free WiFi is available throughout, and free on-site parking makes driving in straightforward.

Beyond the front door, Ironbridge offers walking routes along the Gorge, a golf course nearby, and a good spread of pubs, bars and restaurants within easy reach for those wanting to explore further. It's a straightforward, adults-only base for a night or two spent taking in the area's riverside scenery and industrial heritage.
