The hotel is in need of some renovation - it generally seems a little tired and shabby. However, the prices are very competitive, the staff were all extremely friendly and helpful and the food was excellent. (97055024)

This hotel is a convenient 10 minute drive from the International Conference Centre with plenty of free parking and run by warm friendly people. The shame is, this hotel is very 1970's dated and in need of modernisation. It is a little scruffy and some areas reminicent of an old peoples home,(ie, spare chairs and beds in corridors; chairs and chipboard furniture that don't match; owners personal photos in the dining room,etc). This hotel is a cross between a seaside B&B and a local pub, including a plastic singing deer head in the resturant. (97298286)

positive comments Friendliness of the proprietor and the room and hotel was clean
negative comments Very old and 70's dated furniture and tatty decor. Cigarette burns in the plastic sink - non matching taps/furniture. Pieces of toilet paper placed accross the loo as an indicator of being cleaned - mimic of the plastic hygiene seals used in some hotels. This looks so wrong.

positive comments It was in the country and the staff were friendly and pleasant.
negative comments The whole place required a vast amount of refurbishment. Although clean, it was very 'used'. The bathroom facilities were stained and not pleasant. The beds were uncomfortable and obviously old as they were visibly tatty. The dining facilities were adequate.

When answering the question would I recommend this hotel? the answer is dependent upon the wishes of the visitor. As an overnight stay for a business trip, this hotel was more than adequate. However, were potential guests to plan a stay of more than one night, or were the trip intended to be a holiday, I would not recommend this hotel. (99395750)

positive comments Polite and friendly service.
negative comments Poor up-keep of simple facilities such as electric lamps and basic plumbing.

- Good value for money and good facilities for a business traveller perhaps staying just the one night. - Friendly owners/staff. - Easily accessible out of town location, but still conveniently close to town centre - It had a really comfortable armchair in the room; you seldom find this these days. (99519977)

positive comments - Location ideally suited to location of my business appointment. - Although a small hotel, it has a bar and restaurant
negative comments - The bathroom was very small; adequate enough for a single night's stay but too small for a longer stay

This hotel is nice but slightly run down. The staff are excellent and were very helpful. Also, there are some very useful resources at the hotel such as a large wall map of the local area that I used to get into the town centre. I would like to have known that it wasn't very close to the centre of telford, but this didn't end up being an issue to me in the end. (99775677)

positive comments The staff were very friendly and it wasn't as expensive as some other hotels in the area.
negative comments The hotel seemed run-down but this wasn't something that bothered me.

The hotel booking process was simple, checking in was easy and so was the check-out or paying process. The room its self was comfortable and of a decent size considering there was 3 people staying in it. when booking, it would have been nice to know what events where happening in the area but it was no major problem as we found the Iron bridge Gorge museums. The hotel is in an ideal location to get to shifnal and telford. All the staff encountered were very friendly and helpfull. Breakfast was freshly cooked to order and we where supplied with plenty of refereshments. (99511817)

positive comments The triple room was clean, tidy and comfortable
negative comments No hot water for a shower in the morning and the radiator was leaking
