Greeting by reception staff was good but they had an issue with my hotels.com booking which was fully paid for. Obviously this was not my issue but between the hotel and the provider. The evening receptionist was nothing short of rude, short with me because I wasn’t sure if my room number (I would usually take my room key out with me but this was not allowed “in case of a fire” and then asked me to book my breakfast

Excellent service as per normal, we stayed for 3 nights and ate in the restaurant every night, food was excellent. All the staff are so friendly nothing too much trouble. Well stocked bar drinks not overpriced like some hotels. The only downside was my wife who has walking difficulties found the shower tray a little bit slippy.

I booked a room to celebrate our 43rd wedding anniversary. I booked a restaurant in Shrewsbury too. When we checked in, the room was very cold, the radiator was lukewarm, and one of the towel rails in the bathroom wasn't working. We were hoping to shower and change before going out. I went to the reception and was told we could be upgraded and to pack our bag. When I returned, they gave us the key to a much poorer room with a dingy bathroom (with a shower over the bath) and condensation running down a window high on the bedroom wall. Apparently, the radiator in the upgraded room had leaked. By this time, it was too late for us to shower, as we needed to leave for our booked table at the restaurant. We were moved again on returning to the hotel. Evening and planned celebration ruined. I did complain, but have received no reply.
