Pros:

Good food views room was lovely

Cons:

No fan or air conditioning we left some valuables in the room and wasn’t notified to say they had been found we didn’t realise until 2 days later so didn’t call as the logistics would have been impossible for us to return

Lovely Country Pub

A lovely atmospheric country pub.
Fabulous food and great staff.
Stopped over in accommodation lovely suite and facilities.

Cons:

The room is right on the main road and the noise of the traffic extremely loud.
An investment in triple glazing should be considered!

Excellent accomodation. Clean, well maintained and comfortable. Staff are friendly and helpful and the location is ideal for a few minutes taxi hop into Bridgnorth, or day trips to Ironbridge or surrounding areas. Outstanding value for money.

Pros:

The punch bowl was clean, reasonably priced, staff were very accommodating and very willing to help.

Cons:

Did not realise the room would be so close to the main road.
Given the temperatures, a fan would have been useful.
Being given your breakfast the night before to take to your room was off putting.
