Wonderful Shrewsbury
My visit started with a wonderful welcome by checkin staff who ran out to help me with the door and my bags. They went on to provide a lot of local information to help our stay. And the rest of the stay continued like that. Fantastic breakfast. Fab honesty bar. First class all round

We had a lovely stay, our room was huge and so was the bed. The car park was just around the corner so just a short walk with the luggage. The breakfast was lovely as were all the staff. We would definitely stay again.
