Great location, lovely hotel!
Great location, lovely hotel, great breakfast, friendly service. Our room was a bit hidden away and quite small with low ceilings, but it had charm, and I think it was the last one left.

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.

Luxury stay
Lovely and creative decor, friendly staff, self serve bar and nibbles, great for my mum who can’t walk upstairs very well as we stayed in a ground floor room, lovely breakfast and had pretty much every type of food you could think of. Can’t fault this place and would definitely stay again.
Lovely garden
