Quirky hotel but we like quirky . I would recommend not having your bedroom windows open of a night time due to idiot revving their engines and popping their exhausts ! Staff very friendly and helpful, hotel doesn’t do breakfasts but staff gave us recommendations .

Nice room in historic building

Very pleasant small room with a lovely big 4 poster bed. Bathroom coukd do with sone tlc but shower and towels were excellent. Our room overlooked the beer garden but it soon quietened down and was then very quiet all night. Rooms are above a nice pub in a gloriously wonky old building

Staff were lovely, friendly and very helpful. However the room (no.2) was average: Pros - Clean room, bedding and towels Tea, coffee, hot chocolate, milk and biscuits (including kind offer from staff to ask if I needed more) Clean bathroom en-suite, plenty of towels Cons - Floor is very uneven Wardrobe had hangars but only coat hooks inside, so unable to hang anything properly (Nb: even if the hooks were used, there wouldn’t be enough space to hang clothes up at the same time!) No shelves inside either, so basically nowhere to put clothes other than the wardrobe floor. The curtain wasn’t wide enough to cover the window properly (!), leaving a lot of extra light in at sunrise. The window was open when I arrived (which I was fine with) but even when I closed it, it still didn’t seal off much sound from outside (cars and people passing by). No toiletries in the bathroom apart from shower gel. (I didn’t realise this until the pub had closed at 10pm so couldn’t ask for any) This would have been fine with me had I been advised of the situation in advance to ensure I brought my own. Overall I felt the room was adequate for a single night stay, with being willing to ‘manage’ with the window and curtain in particular. The bed was comfortable enough, although I suspect many people would find it a bit too soft.
Curtain too small and thin

A great place for a relaxing break.

Comfortable room in an old inn, with a 4-poster & settee. Good strong, hot shower. Very quiet, so a good night’s sleep. Very friendly host& staff - the inn providing excellent food & refreshment. Perfectly placed close to the station, car parks, attractions & main shopping areas. All within one of the nicest towns in England.

Great staff, good food, comfortable

Great staff, bar was packed on arrival but we were checked in to our room straight away. Far too busy & noisy to eat in the bar, so they opened the restaurant for us and another couple so that we could eat in peace. Despite the number of customers we were served quickly and efficiently. Very good food. Room was a bit tired, flaking paint and in need of a bit of updating but the bed was comfortable and the room reasonably quiet even though on a main street. Good location just on the edge of the town centre. If parking, beware the Wyle Cop NCP, equipment doesn’t work, you have to have an App to pay and it took us an hour to get a payment through by telephone.

A wonderful experience in a lovely old building. Beautiful room with en-suite and very comfortable bed. Menu and bar are excellent. That said, this establishment would not suit everyone as our room was next to the very noisy beer garden. We certainly didn’t find this an issue. Perfectly situated for the city centre if you are looking for an evening out and it’s peaceful later for a great nights sleep. If we ever return to Shrewsbury this place is our definite go to.
