Perfect easy location (a stone's throw from the marvellous Poetry Pharmacy!), very cosy room and surprisingly quiet (the storm winds were louder than the town hall clock!). Really comfy bed. Nice touch to find a bottle of fresh milk in a little fridge in the room; with kettle & teabags so you can make yourself a cuppa. Breakfast was extra, but very reasonable and most delicious - with excellent coffee. Host sent information for entrance keypad, all really smooth and easy. All round a very lovely place to stay.
The Castle is situated in a quiet area, at the top of Bishops Castle, with spectacular views of the town. It offers 3 bars with log fires, a restaurant serving local produce, and beamed bedrooms.

Spent a couple of nights here to walk the Long Mynd and explore the area. Kirsty and Chris were very welcoming when I met them on the second day. They had provided a hamper of goodies too, which was a wonderful bonus! Very relaxing, with a VERY COMFY bed. Loads of amenities, including a utility room for muddy and wet gear to dry out in! The bathroom has underfloor heating, which feels very luxurious. Car parking is well thought out, so you're out of the way of the farm vehicles. Very friendly cats!

Great location, lovely walk up to the longmynd hills. Close to carding mill as well. The cottage was really well done to a very high standard, lovely welcome basket with some essentials. Chris was great and gave some advice on local area, we recommend the Ragleth pub for food 10/10. Will def be returning to this gem.

Excellent throughout. 3rd visit and won't be the last. Fabulous place to stay. Friendly and helpful staff. Great food. Comfortable bed, what more could anyone want.
It is perfect for a quiet getaway. Small but interesting town, with tons of good walks to do all around the area. It is worth going for a visit if only to spend several magical hours inside the wonders of the Poetry Pharmacy - but sshhhhh don't tell anybody! Plenty of good eateries - for fab home-made soup, the Bap (if its their birthday when you go, you get free cake!). In the evening the Tuns pub does excellent food - and beer if that is what you are into!

Lovely small town. Steep streets. Quiet (at the time we were there, March). Many pubs to choose from.
Not many general shops, but lots of places to buy greetings cards.
We ate at the Ganges restaurant and The Three Tuns pub, both recommended, but best to book. Very limited places to eat on a Sunday evening.

Was there on the Date of the Michaelmas Fair which was cancelled because of the passing of the Queen but there were still stalls and traction engines to see. Pubs and restaurants were open so plenty to do and see.

Stopped for one night but could have stayed longer. The restaurant in the hotel served lovely fresh food. Bishops castle is only a small village but has plenty of history. Look out for the elephants!

A small town I'm ashamed to say I had never heard of, but which offered a variety of interesting shops and tea rooms and other services. A very good base to explore the surrounding hills and even further afield.
A beautiful retreat decorated in a lovely boho style. Entry is through a tiny courtyard and glazed sliding doors. It is comfortable and spacious with a well equipped kitchen, including oven and induction hob. Up the staircase is a large attic bedroom with exposed wood beams, large window, and comfy double bed.
Situated on the edge of Bishops Castle, there is free parking on site and fabulous views across open countryside. Although only 5 minutes walk to the town centre, the town is set on steep hills.
The location of this hotel is exceptional. The hotel is bijou but extremely comfortable and very well done. The staff were fantastic. One of us was unwell on the morning of checking out and we were met with such flexibility and kindness from the Manager and the staff and all ended very well. The food is exceptionally good, using local produce as far as possible.
Gerry was an excellent hostess, thoughtful, generous and kind and nothing was too much trouble. The hotel was welcoming and the accommodation and facilities were very good. Breakfast was excellent and substantial, we did not eat again until late evening. We would thoroughly recommend a stay at this hotel.
The breakfast was delicious and nothing was too much trouble. There was plenty to choose from including fresh fruit, full cooked breakfast and homemade marmalade and jams. There was homemade cake upon arrival and shortbread which was so tasty and just what we needed following our journey.
Lovely detached bungalow, spotlessly clean , in quiet street 10 minutes walk to small historic town of Bishops Castle. Handy for the several pubs/hotels. Neighbor next door was owner and he called in to see us and brought a bottle of wine. Lovely views too from the garden.
The Crown Inn is in a beautiful area of Shropshire a close distance to the amazing The Long Mynd. The Crown Inn is very clean, the staff is delightful and attentive, and the food is well prepared. It is the place to be if you want be in this area.
Breakfast not included. Good location on the high street. Parking just around the corner. A good base if you are on a family holiday I would have thought. Bishops Castle was very pleasant, especially the gardens up at the back of the Castle Hotel.
The novelty of having an entire pub to yourself makes this an unforgettable gateway. Spacious, well equipped yet homely. Dishwashers, ice machines, pool table, karaoke, hot tub….. they’ve thought of it all. Highly recommended! AND dog friendly!
Super friendly people, good breakfast. I was checking out early, and was offered, unsolicited, a sandwich for the road.
A sign in the rooms advises that a local church bell peals during the night, and offers earplugs. I never heard it.
A lovely bed and breakfast run by lovely people. Warm and cosy, blissfully quiet, fantastic breakfast, and the whole family are so friendly. Bishops Castle is a delightful town and I can't wait to come back and explore it again.
Friendly, cozy ,good location,,easy parking, good bar and menue.great outdoor area with good views..
Good location for exploring the towns villages and countryside.also Bishops Castle is an interesting town
The most welcoming and accommodating family. We really enjoyed meeting you all and your animals. Lovely countryside, stunning views and good walks. Thank you for letting us look around your farm.
Very comfortable and well equipped cottage close to the centre of Bishops Castle and with walks from the door. Good sized garden with garden furniture. Beautifully furnished.
Breakfast was very good. Plenty of choice and nicely cooked. Poppy House is an old building with character and the location in the heart of Bishops Castle is excellent
