Church Stretton hotels

Pros: It was a refreshing change to be in a B&B that exceeds expectations. Rebecca was a natural host who was always attentive. She thinks of nothing else other than ensuring her guests have a comfortable stay. A little gem of a place

Pros: The hostess is so lovely and welcoming. We felt at home there straight away. Lovely rooms, great breakfast.

Pros: Friendly staff, warm and comfortable rooms, lovely restaurant and great value for money

Pros: The staff were so friendly we felt very welcome, and the hotel was lovely and warm

Cons: The breakfast was excellent, apart from one morning when the toast was brought to our table the minute we sat down. We hadn't even had our cereal/fruit so by the time we were ready for the toast it was cold. We were disappointed that the chamber maid wanted to give us clean towels after only 1 day, when the hotel encourages guests to re-use their towels and the message in the bathroom says they would only be replaced if they are in the bath.

Pros: Lovely clean room, good faculties. Lovely evening meal and breakfast. Big comfy bed.

Cons: Difficult to watch the television in bed with the four poster bed. Would like to have more tea bags and milk. But that is me being fussy.

Pros: The bed was extremely comfy and Claire's Lemon drizzle cake was amazing :)

Pros: A very good choice for breakfast. Fresh fruit and muesli as well as many cooked options. Very friendly and helpful hosts.

Pros: Great welcome for us and our dog. We upgraded but the room was a bit small and all surfaces seemed to be covered with literature. My only complaint was no gluten free bread for breakfast when they had so much warning including when we arrived. But the staff in the sister restaurant The Loopy Shrew were lovely and welcoming to us including our dog.

Pros: Room 6 was lovely very lovely and cosy

Cons: Having to park away from the property ... but wouldn’t put me off staying again

Pros: Particularly enjoyed being able to use the lounge to relax and read the papers. Also the “honesty bar” was useful. Good choice of teas and coffee in the room.

Cons: Not many sockets in our bedroom meant we had to do a bit of swapping and changing of plugs to boil the kettle and charge phones. Not a real negative, just an observation.

Pros: Bed was super comfortable

Pros: The breakfast was superb, gluten free accommodated for and all freshly cooked.

Cons: The kettle in the bedroom had to be moved to stand on the floor to plug it in

Pros: Everything else! Location, decor, furnishings, bedroom, great breakfast, snug honesty bar. What more could you ask for?!

Cons: Sticky floor in serving area in breakfast room.

Pros: The location was excellent for the town, the staff are very friendly and informed, the breakfast was a great start to a new day.

Cons: Having selected Parking as part of the criteria for selecting the hotel was disappointed to find that this was infact a separate charge which I had to cover. Other than that nothing else to complainabout

Pros: Great location with a good standard of services.

Pros: Very central setting. Welcoming owners.

Cons: Parking is an issue in the mornings

Pros: The bathroom tiles and the wifi

Cons: I found the brekfast staff unpleasant. It seemed as if he didn't want to be there - he keep banging the plates and cups about - in fact another breakfaster commented upon this. He was quite grumpy. Maybe he should look for a new job. The cleaning lady and the young girl were much nicer.

Pros: Good location, close to shops, restaurants and attractions but on a quiet(ish) road; easy to come and go when we wanted and a car park nearby.

Cons: Service a bit uninspired; certainly not the friendliest hotel we have stayed in. Decor a bit tired and old fashioned.

Pros: I only stayed one night, but my overall impression was of an efficiently run hotel.

Cons: There was nothing I disliked.

Pros: Queit cozy place but within few minutes of town square. Family-run informality, excellent breakfast.

Cons: The breakfast window of 8-9 on a Sunday was too early, too short. The room cleaners also worked only till 11 on Sunday which was surprising.

Pros: Comfortable bed. Lots of clean white towels. Interesting old building. Handy for river.

Cons: Noisy (near building site and pubs). Instant coffee with breakfast. Lots of stairs to climb with suitcase. Overpowering "air fresheners". No thermostat on radiator. Owner not particularly friendly.

Pros: The room was very comfortable. The breakfast was excellent.

Cons:

Pros: Friendly greeting on arrival, comfortable room and a great breakfast.Would stay again.

Cons:

Pros: situation, very convenient

Cons: could do with a few finishing touches

Pros: Clean and tidy, staff helpful and friendly

Pros: Good choice. Well prepared.

Cons: The booking.com website implied that there was parking, but this was just on the street or in a nearby pay car park (maximum price per day £4).

Pros: Superb Accommodation and superb friendly staff. Luxury Victorian bedroom and quality bed and bedding and lovely bathroom. Breakfast was lovely with locally sourced ingredients and freshly cooked by Pavlina. Very warm and welcoming. A little Gem !! Paul and Linda

Cons: Faultless

Pros: An absolutely beautiful place to stay, absolutely recommended it was gorgeous warm and friendly staff and wonderfully located for walks. Breakfast was DELICIOUS i can recommend the french toast. Divine.

Pros: Excellent helpful staff, comfortable room, fine breakfast menu.

Pros: Everything, especially the little touches like providing dressing gowns, bottled water, a great choice of specialty tea and even a glass of sherry!

Pros: I normally avoid Bread and Breakfast while travelling with work... very often they tend to be intrusive and I like to just settle in and get on with a relaxing evening in order to prepare for the following day. Although I arrived with some trepidation I was very impressed with the friendliness of the phone call when it was apparent I would arrive later than I first envisaged and the room was absolutely gorgeous. Many 'boutique' hotels try for this look, but this was without pretence... everything was of the highest standard... even down to the Le Creuset salt and pepper mills on the breakfast table!

Cons: The breakfast could have been presented a little better... but that's just me being really picky... there was nothing to dislike about the room or the location. Highly recommended.

Pros: lovely staff, very good breakfast, comfortable room and a great location.

Pros: Comfortable room Great location Complementary Scone and tea Great breakfast

Cons: Narrow entrance hallway felt very cramped

Pros: Charming and unique. Very authentic and staffed by friendly and helpful staff

Cons: Nothing

Cons: Room very compact and at the top of the building. Nowhere to relax in the property other than the bedroom.

Pros: The lion and pheasant is a lovely old building ,all the staff were friendly and helpful .Its in a good location and close to all that Shrewsbury has to offer,we stayed in the loft suit absolutely amazing room .We didn't have an evening meal at the hotel ,but the breakfast was very good and lots of choice

Cons: There's very little to say about what I didn't like ,but if l have to pick one thing it would be the tight enterance to he car park but once threw the arch there's lots parking space

Pros: Breakfast was fantastic, bed comfy.

Cons: On suite was quite small

Pros: A large room with a lovely ensuite newly refurbed with great taste. The breakfast was lovely too.

Cons: In Room 1 the TV could have been better placed directly in front of the bed above the fireplace rather than too the side. I think the four poster bed is too big for the size of the room, would have more room in that area if you had just a normal bed. My husband has a snoring problem so we also booked a second single room at £70. It did work out a little expensive £117 + £70 for both rooms.

Cons: The noise from the bar below. We were in room 2

Pros: Food was great although service a bit slow at busy periods. Bar ambiance good but more comfy seats please.

Cons: Bed Rooms clean but quite basic, lack of comfy chairs in the bar, seating areas.

Pros: Rooms good size, modern bathroom, beautiful decorated throughout building, breakfast was delicious

Cons: Feather pillows and cover

Pros: Friendly staff and very helpful manager.. exceeded our expectations and dealt efficiently with our request

Cons: The hotel Can be slightly noisy during the night and at weekends especially in first floor because of the restaurant’s guests. It calms down around 11pm. so wasn’t that big a deal

Pros: Breakfast was good

Cons: The bathroom shower area needs attention The curtains need to be black out curtains

Pros: Nicely styled hotel, simple yet good quality, nicely segregated different areas for varying vibe. Staff couldn’t do enough for us and I think we wished that we had stayed to dinner rather than go out. Our lunch was so nice with a glass of bubbles. So close to the river and town, fantastic location and would highly recommend.

Cons: Nothing....

Pros: Great stay fantastic breakfast and cinema room a bonus

Cons: Hot in room overnight with no facility to adjust

Pros: Very friendly helpful staff. Amazing value for money.

Cons: No problems

Pros: In particular the helpful staff. The the weeing a very special day

Pros: Superb breakfast using local ingredients

Cons: The bed was too small, particularly if you are tall.

Pros: This hotel ticked all our boxes - quiet location, excellent value for money, comfortable beds, good standard bathrooms, friendly and professional staff and plentiful parking. The breakfast was first class with a range of cereals, fruit salad and tasty hot breakfast items. And a beautifully restored Victorian former rectory to boot with period details. Heartily recommend.

Cons: nothing of any significance

Cons: very quiet, booked evening meal for saturday night, nobody else dining, so cancelled and ate in Wem. Hotel in need of updating.

Pros: location was easy & parking easy, large enough property & clearly popular

Cons: little bit of 'attitude' which made the odd question feel like you were asking a bit much, room was quite a trek & not sure the last time the bed had been changed........... just a feeling!!

Pros: Breakfasts are always excellent, with fresh fruit, homemade marmalade, loclal sourced produce and a fish alternative to their superb English breakfast. The rooms are an enjoyable experience, in keeping with the period of The Old Rectory.

Cons: We visited at a weekend out of season and evening meals were limited.We were aware of this before we visited and it did not spoil our stay.

Pros: Fabulous room. Amazingly comfortable mahoosive bed. Top notch!!!

Cons: Breakfast far too early for hols. Finished at 9am. Also paid £12 for so called 24 hour parking space. That was great but on arrival to pick car up at 11.30am following morning got charged a further £6. 24 hour pass finishes at 8.30am aparrently!!! Hey ho

Pros: Friendly helpful staff . Great location . Beautiful old building . Good food .

Cons: Really enjoyed our stay . Nothing not to like !

Pros: Comfy bed.

Cons: Breakfast only served between 8am and 9am which is too late for me. Not enough hot water. Room got cold in the early morning.

Pros: Everything

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Large room (Orange), spotlessly clean and comfortable. Room was quiet with no noise form outside or other rooms We booked for evening meal in the resaurant which was amazing, the setting is tudor elegance, the food fine dining, the staff friendly and attentive. Breakfast in the morning was cooked to order and very good as well.

Pros: Atmosphere and the old style of the hotel

Cons: Great place for a short break.nice quiet atmosphere would definitely stay again

Pros: The location is about all it has going for it

Cons: Possibly one of the worst places I have stayed. Our room was more of a cupboard, we had to have curtains drawn as everyone on the terrace looked straight in but worst of all is the windows are broken and rattled loudly all night. We could hear ours and the ones from the room above which meant we had no sleep. Not enough tea and coffee in room.

Pros: The bed and pillows were very comfortable and the breakfast experience was excellent.

Cons: The central heating was controlled by a timer which did not ensure that the room was well enough heated when rising at seven o'clock on a cold, frosty, morning.

Pros: everything was excellent: offroad parking, very comfy bed, very friendly landlady, very good breakfast (ask for Jo's special Scrambled Egg). When in this area and in need of a stopover this is the address.

Cons: Nothing was bad... actually, it was even better than I was expecting, thanks Jo ! All I can think of, that was not so good, is that it rained all day on Saturday ;-)

Pros: Jo is the perfect host. She was born to do this! She followed up on my booking to make sure she knows when I'll arrive and she also dropped me at the bus station when it was time for me to leave. I extended my stay because the facilities where excellent and very clean and I could do with an extra quiet day after work was over. It was the perfect place to also recharge.

Pros: Brillant, loved it all. Jo is a friendly host, made to feel very welcome.

Pros: The house is cozy

Pros: Breakfast had a good variety

Cons: Taxi travel service into the Town centre

Pros: The staff were exemplary. The food superb and attention to detail was brilliant. The canapes were delicious. Malcolm is a treasure, every hotel should have someone like him overseeing their functions. The hotel has wonderfully cosy atmosphere and everyone seems to be happy to be looking after the guests. The owner was also in attendance to ensure that all was to everyone's satisfaction

Cons: The weather

Pros: The staff were excellent with my 2 boys which is great when you’re travelling on your own with kids, they really made us feel at home. The room was beautiful and we’d got a fantastically reduced rate due to some error or other but it didn’t change the staff’s excellent care of us. The bath was huge and once the boys were asleep I had a lovely deep bath it was heavenly. The brass bed was pretty creaky but thankfully my 7 year old was too tired to notice it as he stirred in his sleep. Breakfast was extensive and the staff were great at talking to the boys about what they’d like and telling the oldest a little history both of the building and of themselves so all in all it was a wonderful experience.

Cons: The bed was a bit creaky but otherwise nothing

Pros: Loved this hotel! The rooms are amazing and the staff are great.

Pros: Breakfast and the lady who served us was wonderful, the outside of the hotel is stunning and looks extravagant

Cons: Everywhere is extremely shabby, it needs some money invested into it. the heaters outside wasn’t switched on, the bed was extremely uncomfortable you could feel ever spring the pillows/duvet was as thin as paper the room was cold with no radiators working even the fire in the room didn’t work, the food on the night was cold, very expensive bar. the photos looked amazing of the suite very disappointed

Pros: Staff on reception were most helpful . Malcolm directed me away from the flood blocked roads. Dinner was very good I had The onion soup this was excellent

Cons: Although the room I had was comfortable, people in ajoining rooms could be heard quite clearly from bathroom switch on and off lights to conversations .

Pros: Everything room was beautiful, staff exceptional & breakfast was divine.

Cons: The bar prices are very pricey.

Pros: Very good but more than we needed but we still had to pay £15 each

Pros: Brilliant location , lovely people, excellent food and ambience

Pros: Food was superb, Italian bean soup, was so tasty, as were all the meals we had. staff friendly, bed comfortable, very close to shops and centre of town.

Pros: Superb breakfast and ideal location for town visit

Cons: Nothing we didn't like it was exactly what we wanted

Pros: Fantastic family run hotel that even though its an older property was better than visiting some of the new soulless hotels I have stayed in before, nothing was to much trouble for the staff, even accommodating an early morning start with an early out of hrs breakfast. Location was excellent, breakfast was excellent, staff were excellent , facility's were great and all round a great trip. Thanks to Andy and all the staff for making my trip great . Will defiantly be staying again in the near future.

Cons: couldn't find anything bad to say about Abbots Mead Hotel, now if they could have organised the weather and stopped storm Ciara from hitting then they would be truly amazing.

Pros: Clean comfortable room, great breakfast

Pros: Great value, attention to detail in the room. Fantastic friendly staff and a stunning breakfast.

Cons: Nothing, a fantastic hotel

Pros: Location was perfect. Good food. Comfortable bed. Quiet. Thoroughly enjoyed it.

Cons: Kept banging my head on the low doorway to the bedroom.

Pros: excellent breakfast incuded with the room.

Pros: Sheets and towels clean, good value food and drink central location and great breakfast.

Cons: The room was heated by small Oil filled radiator, but window open and not switched on for arrival. The description says private bathroom but I hadn’t realised this was out a door through another up a step and a Yale lock to get through. The bathroom which was shower sink and toilet was functional. The bedroom sadly was poorly lit and lacked plugs. Trying to Do hair and make up a nightmare. Sink had airlock making a noise all the time unless plug in . This sounds whiney and I don’t mean it too, Shrewsbury has lots of old buildings which don’t lend them selves to modern facilities. If you are a fit person with excellent stair climbing facilities who is not bothered about meeting strangers on the way to the loo , this really represents great value for money with a great location and hospitality. Those of A less fit and more reserved nature may find it a little less appealing. They do offer one room with en suite however X

Pros: Staff were obliging and the bed was comfy. Tea/coffee and biscuits in room. Nice and quiet

Cons: Nowhere to hang my evening dress. Coatpegs and a wire hanger would be useful.

Pros: It is only a short walk into the centre of town, the breakfast was delicious and the hosts excellent.

Cons: The windows in the room did not fit properly, so it was draughty and noisy.

Pros: Location was near to town and my business the following day, I was welcomed and looked after suitably, there was a small car park which I made use of, I took the economy room for a one night stay if you were stopping longer I would suggest slightly more

Cons: The bed was a little hard on me, so if you have a temperamental back don't book the cheapest economy, I'm looking forward to stopping again where I might get in on a larger room.

Pros: Comfortable clean nice bed an excellent breakfast no

Cons: Because we are senior citizens the stairs were a bit of a challenge

Pros: The hotel is only a short walk from the station and town centre, in a reasonably quiet location. Breakfast was cooked to order and of a very decent standard. The room was clean, the bed comfortable, and there was everything you expect in a hotel room, at a competitive price.

Pros: It was clean, cosy and well within budget. A little walk into the town centre but not too far out! Staff were amazing and nothing was too much. Would recommend.

Cons: The shower went cool halfway through!

Cons: Earlier breakfast time would have been a bonus

Pros: Very good filling breakfast

Cons: Decoration needs updating
