The Shakespeare Inn

We really enjoyed our stay in this roadside in n. The room was very clean, twin beds were warm and very comfortable. Coffee and tea provided. Sweet windows to look out onto the view. We ate in the pub and enjoyed the very friendly a**osphere. Our food was hot and good portions. Very friendly staff. Overall it was lovely. My only points to note were (and these wouldn’t stop me from staying again): The chilli sauce could have been brought out in a little dish so that you could pour to taste over the salmon. My dinner was drenched in it and I had to scrape it off every bit of my asparagus and potatoes, it was swimming in it. The toilet in the bedroom had a macerater I think? And made a hell of a racket in the night. The shower was very weak. The tap dripped all night and was echoing in the bathroom. A hook on the back of the bathroom door for your dressing gown would have saved me having to lay it on the bathroom floor and I could only see the top of my head in the bathroom mirror as it was so high up the wall. Everything seemed very high up for a short person (5ft 4). As I said, just little things that can make you tut, but nothing more. Brilliantly positioned for all the local sightseeing museums. Thank you for a lovely stay.

Music really loud till 3.15amwas new years eve so to be expected i suppose.but cleaner moaned we 10 mins late leaving at 10.40.am.when we hadnt got any sleep.think you would get slight lie inon new years day.when asked if we could sit at table for drinks.was denied cause guests was coming later that night.had to fetch water from bar ourselves.not in room.shower gel was like water.bed was uncomfortable.

My stay was ok but my room was over the bar and noise from below was awful but finished by 10 pm, being an older person age 77 being up late was not for me .I booked over the Xmas period 24-25-26-December but they were closed on Xmas day Monday 25 th and closed on day of departure 27 very poor they advertised breakfast but not available ,had to drive into Telford to get some .Sorry but won’t be back

Very clean warm comfortable room. Exactly what we needed for a last minute one night stop off

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.

The pub was closed when I stayed, so I was given instructions to access the room, which worked well. The room was well kept and comfy. The only real gripe was that there was no indication of the guest WiFi password, that I had to contact hotel staff off site for.

Inn is more into being a pub and less interested in servicing its B&B guests. NO breakfast is offered and dinner is served in the pub with B&B guests having to wait their turn with pub patrons. Room is spacious and bed comfortable. Room is over the pub bar so some noise in the evening. Inn is some distance from Ironbridge Heritage Site.

Awful stay. Booked the B&B for me and colleague for 1 night and was emailed the day before to be told the Pub was closed and provided with instructions to obtain the key from a key book. The room smelt musty and damp to which the staff had addressed by placing a large automated perfume dispenser in the ceiling which made sleeping very difficult as the noise continually woke me up. In the morning the Pub was still shut and not open for breakfast so we was forced to leave on an empty stomach so this place can not claim to be an B&B.

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.
