Perfect Location , Good Value but.....

This is a beautiful building, fabulous location in historic Shrewsbury. The rooms are fine, nothing special but not awful - bit tired, carpets were stained and windows filthy but comfy bed, The private bathroom was tiny and had mold on the shower frame and tiles. It's only a 5 minute walk from the NCP car park which is a good value £7.95 for 24 hours if you pay by the app so don't let the lack of parking facilities put you off. We stayed on a Saturday night and the live music from the Bull and neighbouring places was LOUD! Went on till gone midnight but then it was fairly quiet and nice to have no traffic noise. Breakfast looked great but we had the full English and you could taste the ingredients were cheap, sausages went straight to the dog! So, mixed bag but good value overall.

Nowhere to park. Best suggestion from the pub was NCP car park, over 10 minutes walk away. I did not stay. I will try to get a refund.

Great location and excellent breakfast. Very comfortable bed and quiet after the pub closed. The bathroom lacked ventilation and the tv reception was terrible but overall a good place.

A nice and convenient place to stay.

Its a nice traditional Inn in a lovely old building. Bar is nice with a decent outside area. Staff are friendly and helpful. Only had breakfast once but was very nice. There is music from the bar some evenings but went off at a reasonable time. Cleanliness of bathroom could of been better.

Bedroom was fine, bathroom was tiny & poorly lit. The noise level was unbearable. Advised at check in a band would playing till 11pm but the music went on till about 1am & nearby properties later than that. Felt like I was in party central. Based on my experience I don’t recommend this property.

The rooms were small, clean and adequate. They were cleaned each day. The inn is centrally located and is a historic building in an old mews setting and a lively pub in the evening. The staff were friendly and helpful. If you want peace and quiet perhaps not the place for you. As mentioned it is centrally located so there is the noise from the fairly busy street and live music from the inn itself though it does end at 11pm on the dot. Summary: Value for money in a central position.

Excellent value for money, ideal central location and friendly staff. On the downside, it’s starting to look a little bit tired in places but I think this reflects in the price.

I’ve stayed here previously, always appreciate the warm welcome from staff, explained everything thoroughly….very comfortable room, slept well! There is live music and there were a lot of people having a great time, finished at a reasonable time so no worries here. The only thing I would suggest that needs attention is the shower curtain, it created a musty smell in the bathroom. I’ll hopefully be back next year.
