"Unfortunately in this case you get what you pay for. Whilst this hotel was the cheapest around, it certainly felt like it once you stepped inside. We were told 24 hours before our stay that there would be no food available at the hotel, which didn’t leave us anytime to cancel and book a different one somewhere else. Annoyingly it looks like this has been the case for a while. The pictures had shown the hotel overlooking a lake/large pond but what was there was just a remnant of the pond which was now dirty and full of rubbish. Our room had a window at the end of our bed which was looking directly into another 4 rooms, so we had to keep the curtains closed. Our bathroom had mould on the walls, and despite having an ironing board, there was no iron. The beds have spring mattresses which feel like they have seen better days and the heating came on around 5pm so the room was very cold before that. I will say the shower had great pressure as did the toilet, but the walls were so thin we could hear the neighbours doing everything in their bathroom. Staff were polite but felt very uninterested in our presence. I feel the charm this hotel once had is long gone. On the plus side it is walking distance from The Wrekin trail and the ercall trail with free parking, so ideal if you just want somewhere to sleep inbetween treks. "

"From reception staff to breakfast staff there were excellent. The location of the hotel is perfect for seeing all the sights. Breakfast was excellent. Apart from that the room were basic. Nothing special. Hotel has been given 4 stars. I think it should be 3 stars. Also when booking this hotel. They should give details where the carpark is. "

"Yes lots - shops, pubs, restaurants, historic buildings, churches "

"We enjoyed our stay the hotel is a bit tired needs some improvement. Meals were delicious"

"Not the greatest place I have stayed in, had a room that faced onto the main road and barely had any sleep both nights.... rooms are very dated and in need of an urgent upgrade. I left the door hanger on asking for room to be serviced but on my return I found that the cleaner had just folded up wet and dirty towels and put them back on the radiator. There are no facilities to get food here at the hotel and the bar was not open at any time during our visit. Not faciliated for people with mobility issues either. "

"Had a lovely stay and a fantastic meal room was small and didn’t look very inviting for the out side but the bed was very comfortable room was clean and staff were friendly and helpful, the food in the restaurant was excellent definitely go back, "

"Lovely breakfast easy parking "

"The breakfast was very good Staff were friendly and really very helpful We would definately stay at this hotel again "

"Good communal area for children and staff were pleasant. However there was a very strong unpleasant smell thoughout the hotel and in the rooms. There was also large stains on the carpet in the hallways which were wet - we assume they had been recently cleaned. Breakfast was ok - however they had ran out off pastries when we attended at 9.30. Overall unlikely to stay again due to cleanliness/smell. "
