    Decor was a little tired but that didn't affect our stay.

    Ideal spot for visiting the Bridge and the gorge. Loved the glass floor in our room revealing the old Taphouse below. Very good value for money. Lovely meal in the bar, breakfast was good at sister Hotel next door.

    This is not a dislike rather than constructive critique. A mirror in the bathroom would have been nice and a toilet brush!

    The food was amazing, lovely atmosphere. The location was perfect.

    We stayed with friends, and unfortunately I had an emergency arise at home and had to run out very early morning, so we didn't get to stay for breakfast , however our friends did and they stated it was delicious.

    The room was comfortable and warm, bathroom looked tired around the edges, however it was clean and well stocked, and lovely warm room to bathe in

    The car park can be tricky to get in/out when full. But road parking is a good alternative.

    I have stayed many times and really like the area. The rooms are warm and comfortable and very god value. The location is great. The area is peaceful with pleasant walks.

    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. .

    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.
