Luxury stay

Lovely and creative decor, friendly staff, self serve bar and nibbles, great for my mum who can’t walk upstairs very well as we stayed in a ground floor room, lovely breakfast and had pretty much every type of food you could think of. Can’t fault this place and would definitely stay again.

We had a lovely stay, our room was huge and so was the bed. The car park was just around the corner so just a short walk with the luggage. The breakfast was lovely as were all the staff. We would definitely stay again.

We very much enjoyed our stay--this is a great location and the rooms were very nice. We very much appreciated the staff's willingness to help us check in a little late and for staying around to give us some great recommendations for our stay.

PERFECT place to stay, in every way! FIVE STAR!

Absolutely wonderful place - I'd highly recommend staying here! The atmosphere is relaxed, the staf really friendly and helpful, the bed super comfortable with little touches like a flask of water in the room as well as the usual tea/coffee, biscuits etc. The highlight for me was the breakfast which was FABULOUS and included options for gluten-free/wheat-free/vegan etc, they seem to have thought of everything! Nothing was too much trouble either - they were happy for us to have a slightly later breakfast as we did the parkrun! The other thing is the hotel is bang in the centre of town but down a side alleyway so it's very quiet (we had a room overlooking the garden in the modern building behind) and there's parking, which is another huge plus!

interesting, comfortable night's stay

interesting, period stay. nice car park close by though £1.20 per hour after 8am, can pay before hand so no early morning rush. Complicated entry system for late arrivals after 7pm. My garden room was lovely with plenty of interest. hot water for basin controlled by button I never found. Nice breakfast with plenty of choice. Easy to exit Shrewsbury from. frienly and helpful staff.
