Lovely small town. Steep streets. Quiet (at the time we were there, March). Many pubs to choose from.
Not many general shops, but lots of places to buy greetings cards.
We ate at the Ganges restaurant and The Three Tuns pub, both recommended, but best to book. Very limited places to eat on a Sunday evening.

Was there on the Date of the Michaelmas Fair which was cancelled because of the passing of the Queen but there were still stalls and traction engines to see. Pubs and restaurants were open so plenty to do and see.

Stopped for one night but could have stayed longer. The restaurant in the hotel served lovely fresh food. Bishops castle is only a small village but has plenty of history. Look out for the elephants!

A small town I'm ashamed to say I had never heard of, but which offered a variety of interesting shops and tea rooms and other services. A very good base to explore the surrounding hills and even further afield.

Bishop's Castle is an ideal location for walking or cycling the borders. Superb scenery and challenging hills. The town is small and quirky with a range of independent shops and a range of pubs to visit.
My favourite pub is the 'Three Tuns' with excellent food and friendly staff. Also the small Indian Cafe is very good for a snack.
Hotel full of character due to age and history. Cosy room and very comfy bed. Dog was made welcomed and the nice touches of doggy box in room (towel, bowl, poo bags etc) and sausage at breakfast time was really nice. Had a meal in room but dog was okay to eat in bar area and that was very tasty. Staff very friendly and polite. Breakfast had a lot of options and nice touch on table with message of the day giving weather report, good walks in area and places of interest to visit. Really nice gardens.
This is a nicely decorated cottage - it has all facilities eg washing machines, dish washer, internet, multi channel TV. It is dog friendly. It is a quiet hamlet with farms close by, local church, easy to get to Bishops Castle and Craven Arms for shops pub’s restaurants. The owners are very pleasant and leave you to your own devices.
Gerry was an excellent hostess, thoughtful, generous and kind and nothing was too much trouble. The hotel was welcoming and the accommodation and facilities were very good. Breakfast was excellent and substantial, we did not eat again until late evening. We would thoroughly recommend a stay at this hotel.
The breakfast was delicious and nothing was too much trouble. There was plenty to choose from including fresh fruit, full cooked breakfast and homemade marmalade and jams. There was homemade cake upon arrival and shortbread which was so tasty and just what we needed following our journey.
Lovely detached bungalow, spotlessly clean , in quiet street 10 minutes walk to small historic town of Bishops Castle. Handy for the several pubs/hotels. Neighbor next door was owner and he called in to see us and brought a bottle of wine. Lovely views too from the garden.
Breakfast not included. Good location on the high street. Parking just around the corner. A good base if you are on a family holiday I would have thought. Bishops Castle was very pleasant, especially the gardens up at the back of the Castle Hotel.
The novelty of having an entire pub to yourself makes this an unforgettable gateway. Spacious, well equipped yet homely. Dishwashers, ice machines, pool table, karaoke, hot tub….. they’ve thought of it all. Highly recommended! AND dog friendly!
Super friendly people, good breakfast. I was checking out early, and was offered, unsolicited, a sandwich for the road.
A sign in the rooms advises that a local church bell peals during the night, and offers earplugs. I never heard it.
Beautifully quiet, wonderful views, fabulous location both on site and within reasonable walking/driving distance of lovely Bishops Castle.
Clean, tidy pod. Clean, tidy shower block, toilets and kitchen. Welcoming and friendly host.
Perfect stay for myself, two children and a dog after a long walk along the Shropshire Way. Bedroom was warm and comfortable. Had fab dinner at the Three Tuns pub a minute walk away. Breakfast also excellent. Can highly recommend.
A lovely bed and breakfast run by lovely people. Warm and cosy, blissfully quiet, fantastic breakfast, and the whole family are so friendly. Bishops Castle is a delightful town and I can't wait to come back and explore it again.
The most welcoming and accommodating family. We really enjoyed meeting you all and your animals. Lovely countryside, stunning views and good walks. Thank you for letting us look around your farm.
Very comfortable and well equipped cottage close to the centre of Bishops Castle and with walks from the door. Good sized garden with garden furniture. Beautifully furnished.
