Longmynd Hotel  

Friendly, family run hotel with excellent service

The hotel is in a charming location which was good value for the price we paid however it is need of refurbishment and I would not be happy if I had paid the full tariff for the room.

I was very unhappy that they earmarked £300 against our room (£105) which was not returned to me on departure and was told 3 days later that this would not be released for another week.I Would not stay at this place again for that reason.

Located on a hillside overlooking Church Stretton and the surrounding countryside, the Longmynd has the ambience of a grand Victorian hotel.

If a disco is scheduled for the night of your stay, you might want to request a room in a quieter part of the hotel.

The staff were friendly, welcoming and professional. The room was clean and comfortable with a wonderful view.

Ideal location. Revist from trip from many years ago. Very enjoyable.

Rooms maintained at quite a hot temperature which made it difficult to sleep. Could see no way to turn down the temperature of the room.

The hotel is clean, comfortable and the staff are friendly and efficient. The rooms are well appointed and clean. The views over the valley are lovely and with 11 acres of grounds there is plenty of space to enjoy.

I arrived late at night and they were waiting for me. Courtesy complete. Very comfortable room and excellent value. It is in an extremely beautiful location with stunning view. I will return for a longer break in the spring. I liked the fact that the hotel is comfortable, but not ostentatious in its decor. The building itself is elegant and the management have not imposed artificial elegance on top of this.

Modern facility with old world charm

No street lighting on nearby road for pedestrians

Food good, staff friendly, location perfect.

Bed bit uncomfortable (mattress too hard)

The newly upgraded room ( they are nearly finished upgrading all of their rooms it seems) was in fact a suite. A lounge room,a bedroom with 4 poster bed and a large en-suite bathroom. Some great walking starting at the hotel doorway.Lots of maps and guides available to buy in the hotel shop ( at a decent price we thought). Interesting trails, with sculptures, in the hotel grounds. Very dog friendly ( the Red Deer sculpture really spooked him in the dark! Much growling.) Bar had two good local real ales.

The large coach party of elderly people all taking breakfast at the same time seemed to rather swamp the staff but this was only a minor quibble. Watch the plates that are set out for the self service cooked breakfast. They are seriously hot!

Primarily the reason for our choice was the fact that this is a dog friendly hotel, however you would not know this as the hotel is spotless and no doggy odours. l cannot fault the cleanliness and service.

The heat in the hotel in general and the room despite turning off the radiator and opening the windows was virtually unbearable almost stiffling. On the contrary this is not something you would normally have cause for complaint, I suppose this is catering for the mainly elderley clients.

Location was excellent. Close to National Trust properties and sites. Lovely town of Church Stretton.
