The room was spacious and comfortable. The staff that served breakfast were welcoming, attentive and looked after us very well. The reception staff were helpful and always around if we needed anything. I will definitely be booking in again.

I was greeted by Isabel, who was very friendly, knowledgeable of the hotel and area, could not do enough to help. The hotel is in a great area of Shrewsbury, plenty of shops, restaurants close by. The room was clean, with the necessary amenities. The walls are not soundproof as I could hear people in the next room, not loudly though. Breakfast has almost everything you would like to eat, from cold cereals, fruit, pastries, yogurt and cooked breakfast. The hotel has warmth, charm and character, something I appreciate. The staff are polite and helpful. I certainly would stay here again and again.

This very historical property is very old, atmospheric and querky. It's in a central position in Shrewsbury & has its own bar and restaurant. Lot's of pubs and restaurants available in Shrewsbury town centre. We stayed a friday night & the pub next door played loud music until closing time at 11pm so be aware if you have a room at the front. The breakfast was cooked to order and contential options were also available. Parking is available (£10 p/night) though the hotel is a 5 minute walk away

Short Break

Check in, comfort,location food all good but hotel sadly falls short on apparent shortage of staff.Breakfast very good but disappointing restaurant menu,was expecting something more interesting than burger or fish and chips for dinner. Housekeeping leaves a lot to be desired. Room not serviced at all one day and only received a call after requesting tea bags at 3.30pm on another. Public rooms very tired and in need of decorating or at least deep cleaning of chairs and sofas.

Charming, quaint old hotel with excellent staff.

A very attractive, old Tudor style hotel. Great atmosphere. Absolutely charming, friendly and helpful staff. The room was smallish but adequate. Quiet and comfortable. bathroom clean. A good breakfast included. Hotel parking ( £10.00 per night) was quite a way from the hotel.

A traditional hotel with great character which provided everything I needed for four nights stay, with the friendliest and most professional staff I have ever come across. Nothing was too much trouble. Food was of an excellent standard and the hotel was sited close to places of interest. I would love to return
