The hotel is situated in the center of Shrewsbury, in a lovely garden, which is wonderful to walk around and offers proximity to some charming boutique shops on the Cop. The rooms feature a beautiful garden view and an attractive bathroom with an electric shower, although there is nowhere convenient to store the suitcase. The service is remarkable, and the housekeeping is excellent, ensuring a pleasant stay. The dining experience offers strong fresh coffee and delicious home-made local products. The facilities are well-maintained, making it a cozy retreat in the old town built on a rocky promontory surrounded by the serene Severn river.

The hotel is located right in the center of Shrewsbury, making it wonderful to walk around, especially with the lovely view of the beautiful garden area from the conservatory. However, being opposite a pub might bring some noise at times. The rooms are spacious and come with a lovely bathroom featuring an electric shower and a huge bed, yet there is nowhere to store the suitcase.
