"Room (106) was pretty, clean and with a great bathroom with walk in shower. TV was difficult to get working and it was set in an awkward position in the room. Bed was very comfortable though not sure if it was king size as per description. Excellent English breakfast. As there’s a pub downstairs, it was only quiet when the pub closed. We had a great stay"

Buckatree Hall Hotel

Buckatree Hall Hotel

8/10 Good
"Staff were very friendly and beds were really comfortable, however, the hotel does appear to be in a period of transition. At the time of our visit the lift wasn't working, and there was no food available in the hotel. On a minor point the TV in the room couln't pick up a signal , maybe due to it's position right by the Wrekin. At first glance the hotel does appear to be in an isolated spot, but it is less than 30 minutes drive to all the attractions of the Ironbridge Gorge, Shropshire Hills and Shrewesbury. Telford is about 15 minutes away, and there are a good choice of restaurants there. All in all I would be happy to stay there again."
