    Excellent B&B in a great location.

    Nothing to complain about here.

    A lovely B&B, nicely decorated and in a great location at the bottom of town not far off the main street and close to several pubs and cafes. Clean and comfortable room, however two flights of stairs to the top floor can be a challenge for the elderly with luggage. Car parking available is a bonus but the limited spaces mean the hosts have to shuffle cars around which we didn't find to be a problem.

    Suggested tea/coffee facilities in room but there weren’t any. The room was quite warm so opened the window but the window wasn’t sitting in frame so it was noisy.

    Location was perfect and parking being included. Rooms were of a nice size. Breakfast was lovely.

    We had the basement room. The sound of any movement above reverberated around the room, in particular anyone using the toilets. I wouldn't stay in this particular room again.

    Staff very helpful and friendly. Location and breakfast good.

    The room was perhaps a little on the small side, but wouldn't be a problem for just a night or two.

    A perfect location with no problems parking at the hotel. All staff we spoke to were very friendly and helpful, going above and beyond. I would stay here again and would highly recommend for anyone looking for a place to stay in central Shrewsbury.

    Car park was advertised as free. However parking was full so had to park in public parking at additional cost with no offer of discount.

    Breakfast was nice.

    Misleading information that there was free parking rather than first come first served parking. The website should be updated to say this and give information about the adjacent car park. I had to park there and make several trips up two flights of stairs with luggage, a dog and all the paraphenalia involved.

    Breakfast, perfect location near river and town, very comfortable bed, quiet room.

    Because the the hotel was quite old the floor of my bedroom sloped a bit so the head of the bed was lower than the foot which made for a very slightly uncomfortable sleep. Otherwise the bed a d the room were excellent.

    Excellent breakfast, location very pleasant

    The parking, while a real bonus for a hotel so close to town, does require a bit of shuffling around as double-parking is de rigeur.

    Ideal position for a short walk into the centre of town or for riverside walks. The rooms was spotless and, while it's on old building with all the quirks that brings, comfortable enough. Very nice lounge area for work / relaxing and a good breakfast too.

    Room was lovely for one or two nights. Would prefer a larger room for longer stays.

    Our room was on the second floor which was a little difficult with a suitcase. Our bedroom window didn't open.

    The location was great - we could walk to town. There was parking at the property which was a bonus. Breakfast was very tasty and service was friendly and efficient. We were kindly allowed to leave our car there until 1pm on the day we checked out. A 1pm check in is unusual and was very welcome.

    The bathroom was a bit tight - sat on the toilet your knees were in danger of being hit by the door. The two beds seemed to be different widths and I had the narrower of the two. I’m by no means a large person but turning over in the night could feel a little precarious! Otherwise a comfy room.

    We were greeted very nicely and the parking arrangements sorted out with no fuss. Breakfast was very good and the staff were friendly. It was very near the town centre and with a very good Indian restaurant just opposite.
