Super little boutique hotel, this was our second stay and we hope to stay again. The hotel is in a great position close to the award winning market and the town. Lots of interesting eating and drinking venues close by and lovely walks along the Severn River. The food at the Loopy Shrew is excellent as is the service.

Food was exceptional for both breakfast and dinner. The 10% discount for food and drink was appreciated. The place had a good vibe and the staff were very friendly. The only downside was in the room. The fixtures and fittings were very tired and in need of refurbishment. The old single glazed metal windows, that did not close properly, made the bathroom cold. There was no shelf space for toiletries near the basin and the towel rail was the other side of the room! I would recommend the hotel but would upgrade to a better room.

Weekend away

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay, staff excellent, room very clean. Great location and although no parking on site, there was cheap long stay parking nearby. Its an old building, so one must allow for that. As its a bar/restaurant the music was loud till midnight but that did not bother us. Cocktails were great and reasonably priced.

Very nice hotel comfy and clean staff were accommodating the breakfast in the morning was very good. One thing I’d note is use the ear plugs left on the glass jar next to the bed, the high street can get busy in the early hours.

I stayed for two nights in the lovely Darwin room. It was spotlessly clean, comfortable and cosy, with everything I needed (hair dryer, iron and ironing board, tea and coffee making facilities, fresh water, toiletries). Breakfast in the mornings was fantastic! Chosen from a menu and freshly made to order it was high quality and non greasy. I thoroughly enjoyed it. The Loopy Shrew is in the heart of charming Shrewsbury and just a short ten minute walk from the station so easily accessed from there and very easy to find. The staff were very pleasant and helpful throughout. There were lots of leaflets and information on things to do and places to see during your stay. A great base from which to explore the town and surrounding area. I highly recommend.

A great central location in a lively pub with great staff and food. The room itself is looking a bit tired and needs a refresh and a good carpet clean but was a good size and bed was comfortable.

Stayed for two nights midweek. At first we wondered what we had come to as there was a urine smell at the bottom of the stairwell, but maybe this was pervading from outside as the door is not a well fitting one, because as we further ascended the smell went, and once in our room it was fine. Very clean. Comfy bed. Think there must be a problem with the plumbing though as the hot tap water wasn’t just hot it was scorching - very dangerous - and the cold tap ran warm, not cold. The shower was fine. We often find there aren’t enough mirrors in holiday accommodation. This had plenty, however, the lighting was very poor so would suggest perhaps installing lights over a couple mirrors in order to make good use of them! Others have complained about noise, but for our stay, it was quiet although there were a couple sets earblocks on the bedside table! Thankfully we didn’t need to use them! Didn’t eat or drink here other than the included breakfast which was delicious both mornings. Compliments to the chefs. Don’t know why this accommodation has been given AA 4*. It was fine but not really worth what we paid.

Overpriced Hotel

Rooms described as Boutique, but I found nothing special about my room. The bathroom was small and claustrophobic. The inclusive breakfast was excellent. Parking is very expensive and the car park local to the hotel is a max 2 hour stay

We would definitely stay at the Loopy Shrew again. Great value for money. Our room and bathroom were very clean, quiet and comfortable. We heard nothing from the pub below. The location is great, with very short walks to beautiful areas of town. There was a lovely array of breakfast choices included for free with the room charge; we had vegetarian eggs Benedict, coffee/tea & juice. Our main suggestion is to provide a standing fan on warmer evenings. Also, the comfy duvet was just too hot so a plain sheet would have been great.
