Cons:

Unfortunately we arrived when it was super hot so as soon as we where shown to our room the heat hit us they did have a fan which wasn't any good as it just circled the hot air
If they had thought a head and closed the curtains it might have made it slightly better
I appreciate that the building is old which I liked but as soon as anyone walked on the bathroom floor it made a terrible noise so hence we didn't sleep.

Pleasant hotel and enjoyable stay but could be better.
Pros:

Food was of good quality and ample in quantity.
Plenty of parking space.
Very helpful and cheery staff

Cons:

We were not given a room near our friends although my booking was for both rooms. New rooms are much bigger and better appointed than others.
Some rooms situated in the front of the hotel facing directly onto the busy main road. Noisy at night.
Bar and eating areas need a facelift.

We are a group of friends who meet up once a year, we came her last year, returned this year and hope to be back next ye
Pros:

The location is great, plenty of parking, not too far from Bridgenorth, friendly staff, good food etc
Liana our breakfast server deserves a special thank you, nothing too much trouble and just like last year a cheerful face.

Cons:

The only thing to be aware of, and this only applies to some people, is that the bath is quite hard to get into. They do have an accessible room so if you think this might be a problem would suggest you request this room.
As I said most people would not have a problem.

Shropshire break
Pros:

Room 8 was really spacious and the bed and linen were exceptionally comfortable. There was a bath and shower, which is rare nowadays. The paintings and furniture gave the room an old world charm.

The cooked breakfast was delicious and there were lots of other breakfast options too.

Plentiful parking spaces.

All the staff were friendly and helpful.

£90 per night for a spacious room and breakfast is very good value, particularly for a bank holiday weekend.

Cons:

Can't think of anything.
