    Had Mews room. Friend found it noisy as on a road junction. Had twin room with pleasant upstairs lounge. Narrow bedroom downstairs with no ventilation. Windows didnt open so rather claustrophobic. . Really only suit able for single occupancy. Green light above the door irritating at bedtime but understand this is an HSE regulation.

    Staff very friendly and helpful. Couldnt do enough for you. Food exceptional and plentiful. Substantial packed lunch on request. Lovely garden and outside space to sit. Good car parking. Beautiful main building. Easy access to tourist sites.

    I felt the room was a little small for the price and it was very noisy due to the position of the hotel in the town.

    The staff, both at breakfast and at dinner, were exceptional in trying to meet all our needs. The food at dinner was fine but I preferred the quality and service at breakfast.

    There was only an over-the-bath shower, not a separate cubicle, although there was plenty of space in the bathroom to have installed one. This was inconvenient for a guest with minor mobility difficulties. To be fair, we never thought to check when booking. It was, however, difficult to get a consistent, acceptable water temperature in the shower, and the light over the bathroom mirror was nowhere near bright enough for applying makeup.

    Food was excellent and freshly prepared, with no pressure to have 3 courses. Staff very welcoming, friendly and efficient, we felt that they genuinely cared about making our stay enjoyable. High standard of cleanliness throughout. The bedroom was a good size, with comfortable seating and plenty of space for guests' clothing. Good wi-fi connection. Interesting old building with traditional decor in public areas. Large, well-kept garden with plenty of seating. Overall, we enjoyed our stay very much, and would return.

    Was expecting something more basic than it turned out to be. Old fashioned, possibly, but exceptionally clean. Large rooms with character, not your square sterile chain hotel room. Huge breakfast with delicious bacon and sausage and the evening meal was also freshly cooked, hot and full of flavour. Staff very friendly and helpful. Highly recommend staying here.

    Good location ,only a 2 minute walk to town centre but on the main road through town so slight traffic noise ,nothing too bad.

    Comfortable 2 level accomodation ,very clean and good tea making facilities -felt more like a flat than a hotel room . Very friendly and welcoming staff and a good honest plentiful evening meal.

    When we checked in, I left strict instructions that we wanted the cost of our dinner to be added to our bill. This is because our son-in-law always races to get the bill and we didn't want him paying. However, the message wasn't passed on and he beat us to it and then refused to be reimbursed. We stayed on 30th April 2022 and it wasn't warm. We tried to put the heating on but it must have been on a timer so nothing - it was on when we got up in the morning but it was the night before that we wanted it. The shower room (on the ground floor) is tiny. We like the Gaskell Arms but it's like going through a time warp back 50 years or so. But that's rural Shropshire for you!

    Good location right on the road we take into Much Wenlock. Almost opposite is a very well stocked garage shop and as we had a fridge in our mews suite room, we saved the cost of a £12.50 breakfast. We've stayed before (my brother lives nearby and my niece got married there) and we were back for my great niece's christening. The mews suite rooms are very spacious - large bedroom upstairs and a roomy living room with sofa bed downstairs. Direct access to outside which our daughter and son-in-law (staying in the suite next door) appreciated as they have a baby and all the stuff that involves (travel cot, pram, etc.,).

    Beds were a bit harder than we are used to. Would benefit from a topper.

    Friendly, helpful team. Delicious food. Location was great to explore the area. The Mews gave a living room, fridge, kettle etc as well as a bathroom and upstairs bedroom - which was spacious.
