"A cheeky last minute booking at a great price including breakfast. It was our first time in the area and this hotel did not disappoint. The check-in was quick and easy, the hardest thing was remembering my car registration for the free parking! The staff were lovely and friendly and helpful too. She informed us about the bar and restaurant opening hours and when the very generous buffet style breakfast would be served in the morning. The room was spacious and clean with a comfortable bed and the room had air-conditioning. The shower in the bathroom was nice and hot and powerful too with good sized fluffy towels too. The tea and coffee making facilities in the room were the usual sachets and UHT milk, so not the best, but we knew we'd get a decent proper brew in the morning with our cooked breakfast in the restaurant so that wasn't a problem. The hotel was busy for a Sunday night and even though the carpark is a good size it was still quite full when we returned after an afternoon in Shrewsbury ( which is a lovely place to visit with plenty of character and only a ten-fifteen minute drive away). The restaurant was also very busy at breakfast and all seats were taken when we arrived but thankfully the helpful staff directed us to the lounge area with extra tables and chairs set out as an overflow. The breakfast was varied and plentiful with a choice of cereals, pastries, cakes, fruit and yoghurt and of course the obligatory cooked breakfast too. Num num."

"Lovely Old Hotel "

"Staff were excellent both at check in and any time of the day. Breakfast was very good and the lounge area was very comfortable. The hotel is in the middle of Shrewsbury so access to all areas is very easy . Good internet access and the bedroom comfortable with a bath as well. Evening meal the restaurant was also good. Would recommend this hotel."

"Great one night stay. The room was lovely and the bed was super comfortable. I also loved the breakfast hamper in the room - the hotel doesn’t do a formal breakfast, however a very good hamper is provided in your room with granola, dried fruit mix, cornflakes, croissants and apples. There’s also tea/coffee, and milk and yogurt in the fridge. I thought this was a great idea and it was all included in the cost of the room. I would definitely stay there again. "

"Fabulous period property with so much charm. There were only a handful of people staying, including me, which made for a very peaceful stay. I slept well, and the rooms had great amenities. I would say the rooms felt dated, but this adds to the charm of the property. The evening food was fantastic, and there was a good selection of drinks available. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Check-in and out was a breeze, and gave me a great history of the property, an overview of the surroundings, and all the information I needed without having to ask. Would certainly recommend this place. "
