Mixed bag but lots of positives.
Room was clean and tidy but tired and very small (Wyle Cop). Difficult to get round the bed when trying to get dressed. Bed was comfortable though. Breakfast was excellent as was the service and the Loopy Shrew bar in the evening. DJ is on until way after midnight so pointless going to bed on first floor until after this. Bar and restaurant staff were really hardworking and professional. We would stay again but only if we could get a room on the second floor or higher…noise was too much.

Lovely room above a lively bar
Nice clean room with a good selection of tea and coffee, miniature toiletries in the bathroom and a comfy bed. Lovely breakfast with good options for vegetarian and vegan diets. It is a bar with rooms above so just be aware that especially if staying fri or sat night it is going to be noisy. (They do provide complimentary ear plugs!)

A great central location in a lively pub with great staff and food. The room itself is looking a bit tired and needs a refresh and a good carpet clean but was a good size and bed was comfortable.

I like the green front! Staff were great ! Food was delicious! Only problem narrow stairs to 2 nd floor attic! Lovely walking area for sailboat Morgan, market, Quarry and train and big mall and Tesco in 10 minutes up the hill! Lovely view from front window! Decent people passing! I did not need an alarm at 5 am a BIRD CAWS LOULDY! Very fully I thought! Late at night there is a code to enter no staff

Loopy shrew
Room very hot and unable to open windows. On first night only one bath towel and no bath mat so used hand towel as mat. Shower over bath had no grabrail and floor of bath very slippery which was extremely dangerous. Quite a bit of mould over bath.

This is a lovely hotel! The restaurant has excellent food along with great atmosphere. Our room was great & the bed was very comfortable. The only regret we had was the fact we had to check out early the next morning & couldn’t stay longer. We will definitely be back!

This was intended as a special birthday weekend. Nowhere on the hotels website did it mention rooms with restricted head height but that's what we were given. I have a 6'2" husband and they gave us a 5' sloping bathroom ceiling. I asked for a different room but there were no others available. I understand that if there are no other rooms they can't move us so I didn't think it unreasonable to ask for a discount. Apparently that was not an option and we were offered a bottle of wine as compensation. However, that didn't materialise either. It's a very 'lively' establishment and there were some very disappointing aspects to out stay but the breakfasts were very tasty.

We had a lovely but too short stay in the beautiful city of Shrewsbury. We loved The Loopy Shrew for breakfast and dinner and the Sleepy Shrew to rest our tired heads. We didn’t find the ear plugs on the first night but were pleased the music from the restaurant ended by 11:30 during the week.
