The Lion Hotel Shrewsbury

8/10 Good
"The hotel was in a perfect location in the old town. A prominent hotel on the high street dating back to 17th century, lots of history attached to the hotel. The room was comfortable but in need of updating. An enjoyable stay in an historic building lots of atmosphere and character. Only disadvantage was the lack of breakfast although there are plenty of cafes nearby. I would certainly stay there again."

Prince Rupert Hotel

Prince Rupert Hotel

8/10 Good
"The staff are really friendly and helpful, going above and beyond - apart from the chef who thinks a steak ordered as ‘medium, blushing inside, no blood’ equates to ‘very rare and bloody’. The lovely waitress offered to send it back but that may have taken another 30+ minutes while my companion ate hers. The room was a bit shabby in places - one outer sash window fully down, leaving the single-glazed secondary unit to cope, the other sash window partially down, with the glass of the secondary unit missing. A coffee stain on wall missed, skirting boards and corners not cleaned, a black mark on bedding and a stain on a hand towel. The hotel generally (apart from some bedrooms) oozes history and character, but the reception and waiting staff make this hotel."

The Telford Hotel, Spa & Golf Resort

The Telford Hotel, Spa & Golf Resort

10/10 Excellent
"We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful chalet. The property was clean, comfortable, spacious, and very well maintained, with everything we needed for a relaxing stay. The location was excellent, with lovely surroundings and easy access to nearby attractions. It was out of town, but close enough to easily visit the main attractions, while being far enough away to enjoy a peaceful and quiet stay. The chalet had a warm and welcoming atmosphere, and it was clear that a lot of thought had gone into making guests feel comfortable. The hosts were friendly, helpful, and responsive throughout our stay. Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed our time here and would happily recommend this chalet to anyone looking for a comfortable and peaceful place to stay. We would definitely love to come back!"

"Check in was quick and welcoming. Parking was not an issue as I travelled by train, but there was a large car park. There was a nice seating area in addition to the restaurant. I did have a tile missing in the bathroom and the edge of the carpet was very dirty - not been hoovered for ages. Breakfast was good."
