Great weekend away here, two nights B&B. As always, spotlessly clean twin rooms located in the courtyard to the rear. Amazing buffet style quality hot breakfast, ideally situated for anything in Bridgnorth. Nothing too much trouble for Beryl who works wonders here

Noticeably deteriorating in all areas except the breakfast, Janice works miracles every morning and is a clear improvement on the previous staff. Beer is good, rooms aren’t maintained sufficiently in my opinion Bar staff are excellent and super friendly

Been a while since been in. Beer is always well kept especially the Bathams. Very welcoming which surprised me. Turns out it is under new management. The previous gaffer always liked to serve his builder mates before others. Much better pub now.

Room was clean and warm. It had 2 single beds but no table could fit beside the beds so I had to put my clock etc on the floor. There was no curtain over the window in the door so it let light into the room. We went for breakfast at 9am but there weren't enough eggs for one each, barely any mushrooms and not enough toast. The eggs and toast were cold and the rest of the food was lukewarm. The staff were lovely. I would stay again.

Lovely courtyard for a, drink. Loved the flowers, everywhere, so pretty. They only serve cobs for lunch so sadly can't comment on the food! It was a busy, hot day and it was full everywhere but got a table here for a cider. They do rooms here too, did not stay but they looked attractive!
