Beautiful wee place above a pub. The food in the pub was amazing. Would go again just for the food. Staff very friendly.
No parking at the hotel. Only a few minutes away by car but a steep hill back up to the hotel with bags.
Overall loved it

Lovely room, spacious, very comfortable bed. You could hear some music from the pub until they closed but not loud enough to bother me - slept like a log! Nice pub too with a good beer selection.

We had an excellent stay at the Cromwell's Tap House. Check in was easy and the staff very helpful. The room was small but perfectly adequate with good storage space and a great shower. The bed was comfy and the room and pub itself have real character, being a timber framed building dating back 400 plus years. The location is excellent in the centre of town, but not too noisy. We enjoyed the Sunday lunch and accompanying cask ales very much. We stopped on a Sunday night, so it was very quiet when we arrived back at the pub and we had a good night's sleep. Very good value for money and we would stay again.

Straight forward instructions of how to check in, the staff were friendly and helpful of how to access the hotel room and out the building. Lovely little room with a lovely window view outside, spotless with some tea and coffee treats. Convenient in the middle of town too.
Will be returning again !

This is less a hotel, and more rooms above (a very good real ale) pub, which was one on the reasons we took a punt on the place, and we weren’t disappointed.
Very good value for money, we had a standard room which was a decent size and a good en suite. Housekeeping was really good every day.
Well situated just off the main drag, less than 10 mins walk from station and pretty much everywhere in Shrewsbury.
It may not be to everyone’s taste, it’s a very old building and there isn’t any lift access, and beware if you are a light sleeper as every noise and bump can be heard so take some ear plugs 😀
Also, a bit lacking in storage space.
But there’s always a bit of give and take when ‘character’ is involved.
They don’t do breakfast- which we knew in advance and didn’t eat there, but the ale is great! And you get 10% off if you’re staying.
Would definitely recommend.

Fabulous four-poster room and excellent value.
Bed was really comfy.
Very weedy hairdryer and minimal toiletries, so bring your own. Incredible shower in which to use the minimal toiletries though!
The man who showed me to the room was lovely.
Would very happily stay again.
