Lions Quays Oswestry

Prior to arriving I asked if I was able to add my wife & 3 year old child onto the booking I was told there would be a charge of £35 to do this which was fine. Upon checking out and seeing my invoice I was charged £50 & £15 for a breakfast I didn’t have. Spa facilities were very good. Went for dinner with my partner and child waited around 40 minutes for starters. Found a plastic circular object in the coleslaw when reported to staff was told “oh sorry about that”. There was only sparkling water in the room so asked reception for still water was then told they’d get some sent to the room this didn’t arrive.

For an executive room it was very tired. The bed definately needed a new mattress it was very soft. The bar area was pleasant but again looked very tired. Dirty stained chairs and marks on wall. Our evening meal was lovely and so was breakfast although one 4 slice toaster didn’t appear to be enough causing cues

The Lion Quays is a great break for peace and quiet. Could do with a few more choices on the evening menu. They do have a problem with beer flies in the bar area, which can be annoying.

Disappointed

When we told people we were staying at Lion Quays, the response was oh posh. But unfortunately it wasnt, our room was small and very worn out. Paint missing from doors and cupboards, the headboard looked like someone was trying to escape with material on it scratched away. Stains on fixtures and pillows. The shower gel/shampoo practically empty. The view from the room was an overgrown area, next to an aircon unit and bins. Although im not sure where the aircon was for the rooms, as it was so hot, athough we were provided with a very small fan which was also tired and provided no relief at all. At breakfast alot of the chairs were stained, our table was sticky and had some sort of film covering it. Was generally disappointed at the price we paid, for a room that was so tired.

The bedrooms need a refurb and deep clean! Dust, cobwebs and dirt on the floor. Ripped net curtain which needs replacing. Tv remote didnt work properly. Opened the balcony doors for fresh air to be met with filthy windows externally and several spiders and cobwebs on the internal edge of the frame. There were 4 spiders in webs in the room which was not good for someone who is scared of them! Did not make for a good night sleep! For what is charged it really needs to be better. Staff were great.

Just average I'm afraid, did expect more for cost

Big place. No Lions. Had ducks. Friendly staff. Comfortable bed. Bathroom tiny. Shower a bit green and needed a scrub. Maintenance required in a few places. Non smart old TV terrible with bad reception. Great parking but no EV charging points at all in a place this size is unforgivable. Food was OK but a bit costly and the tables very sticky from bad cleaners. Sorry cant be more positive.

Lovely staff with good check in. comfortable room and bed and good bathroom. Leisure facilties good except shortage of beds around the pool and the few they had were not in good condition. We went to a wedding evening event which was excellent with great staff again. Only let down was the very tiny, one slice of pork on a huge bap with one stuffing ball. After everyone had eaten, they brought out a big skillet of pork which was uneaten.

We had the most wonderful weekend getaway, beautiful location on the canal! From the moment we arrived, everything was perfect. The bed was incredibly comfortable, and the facilities were first-class. I enjoyed a truly blissful spa treatment that left me feeling completely refreshed. Breakfast, included in our stay, offered an impressive variety of options — all fresh, delicious, and beautifully presented 😋. Our evening meal was equally outstanding, with exceptional flavours and attentive service. Highly recommend for a relaxing and luxurious escape weekend away!
