Wynnstay Hotel, Oswestry, Shropshire

Wynnstay Hotel, Oswestry, Shropshire

8/10 Good
"Stay was lovely and staff were helpful. The routes to get to the rooms are not pram friendly and didnt have a cot suitable for a 2 month old. We suggest asking member of staff to help carry a dismantled pram to the room to help off load the stress of getting into the room with a baby. But once in the room all of the key amenities worked well."

"Another enjoyable stay at Darwin. The room was spotless and had a comfortable bed. The staff were very helpful and friendly. Breakfast was very good and plentiful. There’s a honesty bar where you can help yourself to drinks and snacks and pay on departure. The hotel is very close to the town centre where there are lots of eating places to choose from. We parked on the St Julien’s Friars carpark which is reasonable priced and just round the corner from the hotel. Would definitely recommend here."

Lion and Pheasant Hotel

Lion and Pheasant Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"The hotel is charming and in an excellent location for exploring Shrewsbury. The room was very comfortable. As the hotel is in a very old building you need to be aware of steps and slopes in the floor and the stairs are quite steep (no lift). The bar is good, and the food we had at both dinner and breakfast was of a very high quality. The hotel has a small car park, with quite a narrow entrance. We were fine getting in, but, in any case there is plenty of reasonably priced parking not far away. The hotel is close to the river and we would also recommend visiting the prison! The staff were friendly and helpful."
