Great location, a lovely listed building, could do with some improvements
Pros:

Accommodation is directly above a pub, which is a listed building, full of character. Location is great, 5 min walk to the castle and shops but in a quiet part of Ludlow.
The stuff in the pub is very friendly.

Cons:

The mattress was way too soft so didn’t get a good night sleep. Luckily we were there fur 2 nights only.
Access to accommodation is through the pub so need to make sure you’re there before the pub closes.
The was no shower gel in the room and no hairdryer. But there was tea and coffee facility.

Terrible
Pros:

Nothing

Cons:

We booked for bed and breakfast. When we booked in they said it's for room only . I questioned about it and showed my booking form. No! We're fully booked. When questioned about it they said their dad who is the chef he's in and out of hospital. Asked if we could have a table for dinner . No! We're fully booked. The room were very small, broken bed one of the drawers wouldn't go in completely so you knocked your leg everytime you go by. Quilt was too small for the bed furniture that's not needed it was just cluttered, very basic bathroom , the fan didn't work in the bathroom. No little extra nice things, like small bottles of toiletries .Broken biscuits on the coffee tray no tea. No glasses for water. Not worth £95 per night

Cons:

We had been it contact with the Wheatsheaf with reference to dietary requirements and arrival times (9.00pm), which they acknowledge. However, when we arrived at 9.00pm, we were told there was no kitchen staff, therefore no breakfast, and they would knock £20 off the bill. Why was this not communicated before we arrived, and given the option to cancel?

Cost does not match quality
Pros:

Good location. Room was clean and smelled nice.

Cons:

Room was very old and in need of a refurb. Parts of the walls had broken off. Was advertised to include free toiletries but only had hand soap. Very overpriced for the quality. No staff around upon checkout.

Lovely stay and felt very welcomed. Minor room updating would have made it perfect.
Pros:

The pub is lovely and welcoming and a beautiful building with an outdoor areas that catches the sun well. Breakfast was lovely, generous , well cooked and plenty of choice. The linen and towels were spotless and the view from the room was lovely. The bed was comfy although the bed base had seen better days. Location was excellent but expect an uphill walk into town. The greeting was friendly and warm throughout the stay. The landlady and landlord were lovely and I think it was a family run place with the son also greeting us warmly at the bar.

Cons:

The room could benefit from a little updating. It’s an old property though. There are some fairly inexpensive improvements that would make the room more visually appealing on first impression. The tea tray was well equipped but we would have appreciated bottled water and glasses or plastic cups. Also toiletries would have been nice ( we only had soap). Others have mentioned leaving the room key at the bar when going out as a negative but this wasn’t an issue, the pub stayed open to receive guests back from their nights out. There is no parking so expect to pay to park and walk to and from.

Nice place with a few areas for improvement.
Pros:

The location is charming, adjacent to a historical gate. They had a locked storage area for our bicycles. Nice tables outside by the street, facing south, great for an afternoon beer.

Cons:

The bathroom was not great and the electric shower kept turning off and having to be reset by the circuit breaker. There was no breakfast even though the place is a pub and restaurant. Value for money wasn't great, compared with other B&B at a similar price range. Maybe it just needs a little more love by the people running it.

Historical old pub, centrally located and good value for those on a budget.
Pros:

Centrally located, an easy walk to local attractions and the many pubs in town. Great little pub downstairs.

Cons:

The rooms could would benefit from a paint and new carpets. The kitchen was not doing meals during our short stay due to the oven being out of service. This wasn’t really an issue for us as there are many other options nearby for meals.

It was ok probably would choose to stay there again.
Pros:

Central location.

Cons:

Having to hand in keys every time you left the building - then having to wait at the bar to retrieve them. The bed was uncomfortable. No shower gel shampoo provided. Breakfast was served very late one day - despite being advertised at 8:00am - no indication of what was happening .
