    The room.could do with updating but OK for the price we paid in the location. Bathroom looked very tired & shower needs replacing.

    The room was spacious & bed was comfortable. Breakfast was amazing but had to walk to their sister pub which was only a couple of min walk.

    Due to the river being swollen we couldn't use carpark and access to the town was cut off, making you walk all way round. (not the hotel fault) Notice a few big flies in the bar itself which is a little off putting especially when good is being served.

    Location was perfect, staff very friendly, rooms were well maintained and the views from room was fabulous. Breakfast was beautifully although it was served in sister hotel next-door. We enjoyed our stay and have rebooted for later in yr 😀

    My only (very slightly negative) observations were that some of the communal areas were a little shabby, and our rooms bathroom was dated. However, there was work being done and I believe it's part of a larger refurbishment project.

    Great location only a 5 minute walk to the Ironbridge. Quirky very old building with wonky floors and ceilings and low doors. Staff were first class, in particular Jack who was an absolute star. We had an evening meal which was very tasty and not too expensive. We had breakfast included, which was taken in the next door pub "The Malthouse". This again was first class both in composition and quality. .

    Notr

    Loved the location and the very unique glass floor in our room. It was over the old grain mill and to keep the heritage of it the owners have lit it up (light switch in our room) from below and put a glass floor above it.

    There was a bath but no stand up shower. The shower head attached to the taps was rusty.

    The room was lovely, overlooking the river. Tea/coffee making facilities. Warm and cosy.

    The only comment is that the bath tub could do with having a shower curtain, to avoid splashing water on the floor when having a shower.

    The blonde lady manager was very welcoming and efficient. The Swan Taphouse has a warm lively feeling, being a busy pub and restaurant on the Saturday night I stayed. It is positioned right on the river with good views from the room window. Ironbridge is only 5 minutes drive away. It was excellent value for money for a double room with breakfast included.
