We stayed at the Golden Ball during the bank holiday weekend, it had only been under new management for two weeks and it was absolutely amazing. The locals that use it were very welcoming and the atmosphere was great. We had an evening meal, overnight stay and breakfast then as the weather was really sunny we had a walk into... More

14 of us went for a meal as I was leaving work to take a maternity break! We did a per-order and all food was home cooked and fresh for when we arrived. We all had something different for starters, mains & dessert and all our plates went back empty. The food was cooked to a very high standard and... More

I had a lovely meal at the Golden Ball last night with my husband as a spur of the moment meal out. We were offered the choice of eating in the bar or the restaurant. We chose the bar as there were several locals in there chatting and drinking, giving it a warm atmosphere. The menu choices were all written... More

We have just arrived home after a 2 night stay at the Golden Ball Inn. Lovely atmosphere; beautiful room; great food and hospitality from Kevin and the barstaff. A very pretty Inn, within walking distance of Ironbridge town centre (10 mins downhill, 20 up!). The room was very cosy; nice firm beds, nice decor, loads of condiments (tea, coffee, etc),... More

We got a rare night away without the kids on Good Friday and stayed for the one night at The Golden Ball Inn. We booked the four poster room with en suite. It was clean and very comfortable; some toiletries provided, hairdryer etc. Freeview TV/DVD which is great for a longer stay, tea and coffee making facilities, bed was really... More

We stayed for one (Saturday) night and very much enjoyed ourselves. The pub is a delightful warren of rooms, the staff were welcoming and efficient, the food was good (and reasonably priced, we thought) and the range of drinks available was excellent, including decent coffee any time of the day as well as the beers, wines etc. Our room was...

We stayed for two nights, and every aspect of the visit was excellent — nice and very well-equipped room (exceptionally good towels); friendly, helpful, efficient service; good beer and wine; lovely food. What’s not to like? Well, the WiFi in the bar wasn’t working, and neither was the TV in the room — no signal, apparently. This may be due... More

Great rooms, warm comfy bed, good selection of tea/water etc, lovely fluffy towels and a nice modern decor. Nice old pub full of character and yummy food. Good parking, friendly staff, a great B&B.

First of all, you have to remember that this is a pub first and foremost! The pub area is lovely, we didnt drink there but the range of ales looked very good. The room itself was ok, seperate from the main building with a kitchen area and sitting area in addition to the bedroom. It wasnt the warmest accomodation but... More

We stayed for a couple of nights in July with two other couples. The others had already stayed there so it was our turn to take advantage of the 'superior' room with the four poster bed. It was a nice room if you like black and silver but our first impression was that it had been designed by a 'goth'.... More
