It made a handy base for holidaymakers wishing to enjoy walking and cycling in the Shropshire Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Non-drivers liked the way bus stops were right outside, while motorists welcomed the free car park and direct access to the A49 for quick and easy trips to south Shropshire beauty spots, area attractions and museums. Moreover, charming Shrewsbury town centre filled with interesting shops, pretty parks and diverse dining options was a short drive or bus ride away.

Reviewers were largely pleased with the rustic rooms at this property, describing them as appealing, clean and comfortable with cosy beds.

Occasional traffic noise from the road passing the property sometimes disturbed light sleepers in certain rooms as did noise from the pub, garden and kitchens at times. Some critics noted there were thin curtains that failed to exclude external light properly in several rooms.

Critics sometimes claimed certain rooms were fairly small. A few guests also reported encounters with stained linens or bathrooms that could have been more vigorously cleaned.

Some guests who had to leave early in the mornings were disappointed that breakfast wasn't available earlier. It was also claimed that the availability of cooked breakfasts was sporadic, leaving some diners with only a limited continental option to start the day with.
