Clean, spacious family room. Patchy wi-fi, slightly out-dated bathroom but clean and usable. Basic pub grub, but be aware they don’t do breakfast. Lots to do in the area and a good price, would definitely stay again.

Extremely good stay at The Shakespeare Inn, Coalport. Hotel rooms were immaculate with daily housekeeping and lots of little extras to make you feel at home. On the Thursday we dined in the restaurant where we decided to sit outside so we could enjoy our food with a view. Really beautiful place, nice and quiet, will definitely return!

The rooms were clean and comfortable and belied the rather inauspicious entrance out the back of the pub. There were little touches (water, coffee/tea and biscuits) that made us feel welcome. The beds were very comfy.

Great family room, really large and lots of little details had been considered to make our stay really comfortable. Really loved how the room was accessed straight from the beer garden so the kids could easily go outside and play and we could take a cup of tea outside in the morning. Lots of parking and great location just a short drive from Blists Hill (which has a great playground!) and Iron Bridge. Had an evening meal in the pub and it was great, huge portions and very relaxed. The beer garden and rooms are up some quite steep steps so the only negative would be if you have mobility issues. Great views from the beer garden though! We will definitely return.
