Darby's Of Ironbridge
With unparalleled views of the historic Iron Bridge, the first of its kind in the world, this premier Guest House sits above its own delightful Tea Room, Darby's 1779, serving food all day. When the Iron Bridge was built in 1779, artists, travellers and even industrial spies flocked to see it. At Bridge View Guest House you can admire the striking Iron work while enjoying an Iron Masters or Continental breakfast.

Bridge View's rooms are spacious and elegant in style, with pretty paintings and contemporary decor. Free toiletries feature in each en suite bedroom and benefits also include a flat screen TV with DVD player and an IPod docking station. A short stroll along the River Severn will take you to a range of restaurants and eateries.
Services
Named after Abraham Darby himself. At 13 he inherited his Fathers shares in the family Iron-making business and with this he built the largest cast iron structure of its era: The First Iron Bridge ever built. In turn the bridge caused the Village of Ironbridge to grow around it with the area being subsequently named Ironbridge Gorge.

Polite and friendly staff. Efficient service. Lovely cooked food. I ordered poached eggs on toast and the eggs were perfect. Good value for money.

We had the best Coffee and Panini here this afternoon, since arriving yesterday! Attentive staff with lovely smiles. Parking nearby and fab views of the Ironbridge! Go!!

Very disappointing, glorified greasy spoon.
Overall the food was poor quality and £8 for a tiny breakfast with 6 items is a rip off. We figured for the price of our breakfast plus the £3 coffee we could have had the large breakfast which had much more food and juice and coffee included. We left feeling hungry and paid £20 for two drinks, a small breakfast and a bacon sandwich. Would definitely not recommend to anyone.
Keep walking and go to Truffles cafe, SO much better!!

My daughter and I visited Ironbridge today and stumbled across this gem ! Beautiful - fresh , high quality ingredients. Great interior and a fantastic view of the bridge. The staff were delightful and nothing was too much - we will definitely be back.

3 of us arrived on a Tuesday morning for a coffee. The weather was very good and we used a street table to enjoy our reasonably priced drinks. Recommended 👍

We sat outside as weather was ok. Had a cream tea, the price was reasonable and the quality was good. Only downside was the portion size of cream and jam, barley enough to cover 2 halves of the scone, even if it was a large one. The setting was excellent 👍

Lovely cafe, food was very good, small breakfast and jacket potato with tuna, sweetcorn, salad and coleslaw. Very clean cafe and spotless toilets, reasonable prices. Staff efficient. We will visit again on our next visit to Ironbridge.

A super loving staff, a delicious menu, privileged view from the tables to the Iron Bridge. It is like visiting those cafes from a romantic past. Highly recommend!
