    Excellent location very close to both the town centre and the park and river, also very quiet. The room was comfortable and decor good, not too bland, not too quirky. Nice garden setting, although it was too fresh for us to sit out. Excellent...

    A warm welcoming place. Beautifully decorated for Christmas- felt very homely. Fab decor and an amazing choice for breakfast. Comfortable and spotlessly clean rooms. Will definitely stay again and will highly recommend to friends.

    What a great place in the heart of Shrewsbury. Cheap, plentiful public parking a hundred yards away. Beautifully decorated for Christmas. Outstanding breakfast. Large, comfortable room with a very comfy bed. The staff was so polite,...

Neighborhood info

Shrewsbury The Original One-Off Located in a quiet backwater of the town with its black and white Tudor buildings and higgledy piggildy streets with names you want to say out loud, a river that scoops up the town in a loop with its eclectic mix of independent shops, restaurants and high street stores. A mix of the very old, the very new, the quirky and the one-offs. Located only seconds from The River Severn, The Quarry, Independent Shops, Bars and Restaurants.
