Not great I would have thought that some form of compensation should have been forthcoming
Pros:

Poor to be served breakfast on a plate the night before one chair in the room one very small table. The restaurant area was closed in the morning to me it would have been 100% better if the management employed a staff member to serve breakfast at one end of the restaurant just a continental type not in a cramped room

Cons:

The tv had no remote and the volume was stuck on high it had to be disconnected from the wall socket surely the cleaning staff can check these thing whilst cleaning the room?
The room had a drain smell in the the morning.
The bathroom was not very clean and in the bedroom a couple of holes in the wall
We also do not see the point of so many cushions on the bed as the room was small they end up on the floor
The route to the the bedrooms was so what hazardous as a car had crashed into the barrier so going to the rooms if a car hit the barrier when you are going to your room it would be a problem. As Les has a building company I would suggest he employs his men to smarten up the rooms

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
Pros:

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.
