Puddle Duck Cottage is beautifully presented, with it's own driveway with free parking and private secure enclosed garden, offering you a truly home from home holiday experience in a tranquil and peaceful location at The Tuckies, Jackfield. Guests can enjoy direct access from the cottage to traffic free scenic riverside and woodland walks, plus cycle trails to enjoy during your stay.
There’s a great choice of places for guests to enjoy a bite to eat and drink, whether that be fine dining at a local restaurant, coffee, and homemade cake at one of the cafés or the perfect pint with a pub lunch at the many local pubs which are all only a short walk away.
Spa breaks are available - we recommend Love Pamper Company, they are a luxurious and truly indulgent beauty therapy service delivering five star pop up spa parties in the comfort of your cottage.
The picturesque centre of Ironbridge is just over a mile away with its lovely independent shops and is easily accessible on foot along the Severn Valley Way.
Although we may be dog friendly we are also keen to emphasis the fact that many of our guests that stay at the cottages don't have pets. We have gained numerous non dog friendly awards for our luxury self-catering cottages, the most recent was LUXlife Travel & Tourism Awards for Luxury Hidden Gem of the Year 2025. For this reason we are proud to say that our cleaning standards are exceptionally high, so much so we are confident that when you book a stay with us as a non pet owner you will be equally delighted with the luxurious standards we pride ourselves on and are consistently appraised for, this is reflected in our many five star guest reviews.
