It's very close to some of the Iron bridge attractions, close to the river Severn, and within fairly easy walking distance to the town centre. The room we had was a family room, so more than big enough for us. There was no air conditioning, but a large ceiling fan kept the room cool . Food in the restaurant was excellent.

Annual meet up

My sister and I meet up once a year and we had a lovely stay. I got the booking wrong and forgot to ask for twin beds and they sorted it out for us. So accommodating. Lovely place for exploring Coalport and ironbridge.

Nice quiet hotel down a country lane. Lots of parking, but was hard to find a space on a Friday night. Luckily someone moved so we were able to park. Room was a nice size with en suite. Tea making facilities were provided. Access to room was to rear of pub off the gardens so didn't have to walk through pub. No breakfast on site so had to find a local place. Evening meal was good

Lovely relaxed stay.

Unfortunately, the bar/restaurant closes on a Tuesday and Wednesday which was a shame as the meal I had on the Monday evening was lovely. The Wi-Fi was a bit hit and miss. My only other small gripe is the lack of feather pillows, but that is a personal preference. Everything else was lovely and I would definitely recommend a stay here.

Comfortable and clean

Lovely, spotlessly clean room and comfortable bed. Staff were friendly and helpful. The cooked breakfast (extra - only available at weekend) was very good. Would have given top marks but 2 things prevented me - the steep brick steps to the room - not only steep but had wet leaves on them - a bit dangerous and the constant music from the bar below spoilt the otherwise tranquil atmosphere. Despite this I would stay again.
Lovely view from the room

When I stayed at this property before breakfast was provided, I was considerably disappointed that breakfast was not available anymore. Also it was dark when I arrived and although there was sensor lighting outside the accommodation it was not clear enough to see the paving which was very slippery. Overall my stay was good bed comfortable and I slept well.

Liked: Cleanliness
Despite the great reviews, I can only say I was disappointed and the stay was average. I knew the pub was closed on Tuesday when I booked and the access instructions were clear but the room was cold (the radiators were turned off I assume because the pub was closed) and the TV had no channels on (again because the source in the pub was turned off maybe?).

Rooms were good and fan was a welcome addition in this heat. Hot tap in room one doesn't turn off properly. Shower in room 3 leaks and lock on inner door difficult but overall good stay. Shame we weren't informed of opening hours when booking but minor inconvenience.

Nice place but wasn't that comfortable

A nice room to stay in. Shower area is very small. Small fridge broke down I think as started to make a lot of noise and has to switch it off at the mains. Mattress is worn as could feel the springs and wasn't comfortable for a good night sleep

Gorgeous comfortable beds - a few niggles.

Firstly I must say that the beds were very comfortable and clean and I slept extremely well! There were good facilities like hot chocolate left out and the shower was very nice. The TV did not work very well and unfortunately, we found two dead bees on the floor - my husband stepped on one. The two bedroom family suite was actually one bedroom as the bunk bed area and double bed are not separated by a door - I had thought it would be so this is important for potential customers to realise. The pub was closed so it was very quiet and self check in was straightforward. There is also a great playground out the back which my children enjoyed.

Avoid

TV never worked. Shower cubicle didn’t drain. 2 basics a guest shouldn’t be left to find out. On top of that the electrical in the room was somewhat disturbing and the whole place was shutting when I arrived at 9.20 PM

Not the best check-in, but a comfortable stay

Check in was at a busy bar, and the first person I spoke to told me that someone else would deal with my check-in. So, I was left standing there with my bags with other customers trying to get past me to order drinks - until somebody else turned up. The room was on a terrace next to a children's play area, so it was noisy until the pub part closed. Still, the room was cosy enough. I was told that, when checking out, I could ask the staff present the following morning for an invoice. But, there was nobody there. The place was all locked up. They did however sort me out with an invoice very quickly by email later that day.

overnight stay for a local event

Stayed with my husband for an event locally, so one of the nearest hotels to Madeley. Pretty pub which gets quite busy. We stayed in a fab room at the front overlooking the road. We didn't hear any noise though. Quite a large room with tea making facilities/biscuits. Good bed size probably, king, not as comfy as some I've stayed in but ok. Good sized bathroom with separate shower. The pub serves food and we ordered bbq ribs, they did state as we'd not booked a table we would have to eat outside, however, in the end we were able to eat inside the pub. Basic pub grub, but presently nicely. Friendly place, but note that the rooms are at the back of the pub and you have to negotiate a number of steps at the side to enter and exit. Well lit up in the dark, when we got back but unsuitable for the infirm or wheelchair users. You can go through the pub when its open though if you choose too. Ok for us but wouldn't suit everyone, and great if you wanted to tour the local area.

We booked on a Tuesday and wasn’t aware that it was closed on a Tuesday. Checking in was after 5 we called the number on the window and after 5 they answered and gave us instructions how to access the property. Gorgeous location!!! The only room available was a family room same price as a double so no problem. Access would be limited with a pram. Nice little private play area. Bed wasn’t great very soft and a low bed but hey can’t please everyone. Clean and tidy plenty of towels pillows etc. WiFi connection is very poor but if you want to get away from it all could be an advantage. Lots of lovely pubs nearby all serving food so being closed wasn’t an issue but would have been great to have a nightcap and would have eaten there had it been open. Would I stay again probably but I’ll make it not a Tuesday and book well in advance and see what a double room is like.

We stayed in the family room.The mattress on the bunkbeds were a little uncomfortable, but the room was lovely. Very clean and bright, and we were supplied with fresh towels, bottles of water, biscuits and tea, coffee and hot chocolate everyay. There is a good selection of food served and the staff were very friendly and helpful. The surrounding area is beautiful with lots of things to do close by. I would recommended The Shakespear Inn.
