Everything was excellent with the property

Nothing to do with the property but I have just received a parking ticket for the ncp car park. This car park doesn’t give out tickets or receipts and the card machine was so faded you couldn’t read it. Complained to ncp telephone so called help line at the time of parking and they couldn’t tell me whether I had paid or not. This unfortunately has put me off ever coming again. What a shame, it was such a lovely experience apart from the parking. I wonder how many more people have been caught out.

Beautiful property. Very well situated. Great choice of rooms. Never seen so much choice at breakfast and the food was wonderful. Family run. All staff were bubbly and outgoing, polite and extremely helpful. Such a relaxing atmosphere. The honesty bar was a lovely touch and we had everything and more that we needed. I want to come back with my husband for a weekend. Garden was also a lovely area to sit.

If i had to picky i would just say the pillows were too soft but that my personal preference and not something i would have moaned about.

Good sized, comfortable room with very large bed. Nicely appointed bathroom, with bath and in-bath shower. All very clean. Nice choice of teas and coffee in room. Superb breakfast with lots of options, including vegan options. Staff very friendly and helpful. Very pleasant atmosphere; strongly themed on Darwin's research. No parking on site, but paid parking (£5 per day) within 10 minutes walk and within 2 minutes walk at £12.00 per day. We really liked Shrewsbury; flowers, shops architecture. B&B in good location within 10 minutes walk of centre.

Nothing. Our room was up two flights of stairs, but we could cope.

beautiful room with very comfy bed and anything one might need for a short stay. great selection of teas, coffee and hot chocolate and yummy biscuits. gorgeous soaps etc. great selection for breakfast umbrellas for guests to use plenty of comfortable communal seating.

being picky the shower didn't drain well, filling up the tray within 5 minutes. perhaps a small fridge with fresh milk, especially as there were no staff available after 7pm. might have been nice to have a little more time to enjoy the continental breakfast options before ordering the hot breakfast (both of which were very tasty!).

Such a welcoming and comfortable place to stay. From the moment we arrived the staff were lovely and helpful. The whole place was decorated with the Darwin theme in mind and it was all absolutely beautifully done. The facilities in the rooms were superb, well stocked tea/coffee facilities with an array of teas/coffees. Biscuits, mints, dressing robes, quality toiletries, hairdryer, iron. Plenty of hanging space and drawers. Lovely comfortable bed and everywhere was impeccably clean. We loved the lounge areas and honesty bar. The dining room is stunning, the garden too. Breakfast had a great choice of cooked food, all cooked to order. An array of cereals, breads, preserves, fruit, yogurt . Again the staff were so lovely and took a genuine interest in the guests and engaged, I would definitely stay again.

Breakfast was fab. Multiple choices and the full English was delicious. Location was very good with a short walk to the centre and close to lots of restaurants and pubs. Like most hotels in Shrewsbury it didn’t have its own car park but there were several close by so it wasn’t a problem.

We stayed for three days and after two we put the towels into the bottom of the shower to be changed as per instructions. But they were not changed, merely folded and put back. Reception staff were very apologetic and gave us clean towels but this experience had tainted our stay unfortunately.

Great character and ambience. Much more personal than a generic hotel. A home from home. With a pretty garden to sit in and relax. There's even a room with bottles of alcohol if you would like a drink in relaxing armchairs. It's paid for on an honesty system. Also there's a second cosy sitting room for guests to relax in. Hot breakfasts cooked to order so always hot!! Not like in hotel buffets where food can be Luke warm.

Pillows a bit soft, but that's just a personal preference. Also the ironing board was only the mini type that you need to put on a table or bench but unfortunately there was no table or bench ! Managed by putting it on the bed although a bit wobbly.

From the moment we arrived, we were made to feel welcome. Check-in was easy and given plenty of information for our stay. The bedroom was beautiful and very comfortable. They thought of everything. The bed was super comfy. The fan in the room was very welcome as it was a very warm weekend indeed. Breakfast, wow, there was so much on offer, from cereal to pastries, yoghurt to fruit, juices, and, of course, your cooked breakfasts along with a vast selection of hot drinks The main guest house was beautifully decorated with a room where an honesty bar was with a huge range and a very well stocked bar. It is a fantastic touch for those wanting to have a drink in the garden of an afternoon or a tipple before bedtime. I've never seen one done before, but it worked really well. Close to the river, walk into town close by to plenty of shops, cafes, and pubs and restaurants too. The best car park is St Julians Friars car park. Literally 2 minute walk to accommodation. Nothing was too much trouble for this brilliantly run family Boutique Hotel. Staff all friendly, helpfull and smiley. Thank you so much, and I am looking forward to coming back with my husband at some point

Breakfast was good. Tasty coffee. Rooms looked great. Bathroom spotless. Nice idea having an honesty book at the bar.

Thought i"d be helpful and strip the bed on departure to pile up the dirty laundry. Bit of a surprising let down. Mattress protector had lots of grubby yellow stains. Duvet had a really big yellow mark.One pillow had a protector cover, 3 didnt and one had splash stains. DNA heaven. £2 for a pack of crisps, £1.40 for a can of Coke! Toilet roll holder not v clean. If you need to move breakfast tables around during service pick the chairs up, dont scrape them across the floor and maybe apologise to the other folk trying to eat their food for the racket!

Beautiful building in a quiet street in the middle of town - felt like a little oasis but was a stones throw from entertainment and shops! The breakfast was amazing - easily worth £20 a head in a cafe - so much food and all cooked to order. Staff were fantastic and very friendly. Modern bathroom and nicely decorated rooms and common areas. Nice touch of dogs bowls with treats and a blanket. Very pretty garden to sit in, we didn’t make use of the honesty bar but it looked like there was good choice.

We had a dog friendly garden room so I don’t think this will be anyone’s experience not staying with dogs but there was a smell of old urine in one corner of the room - I let the staff know as really the carpet just needs a deep clean but it’s the only reason I can’t give the hotel top rating.
