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.
