Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is located in a beautifully converted old Mill in a secluded spot, ideal for a short stay. The service had its hiccups with communication issues, but the meals were tasty and well-cooked. The rooms in the East wing were cold and relied on electric heaters, with a need for improvement. The location offers a lovely lake view and historical charm, great for visiting local museums and brewpubs.
The hotel offers well-appointed rooms with a lovely outlook on to the lake. However, there is a severe lack of plug sockets, and the approach road is full of potholes. It is conveniently located near local attractions like Ironbridge Gorge and River Severn, making it a good choice for visitors. The dining experience has both high and low points, with a lack of variety in the buffet breakfast. Overall, the hotel provides excellent value for the price.
The hotel is a mix of both charm and neglect, with beautiful grounds and a historic feel, but some areas need maintenance. The rooms are spacious and comfortable though I spotted a few stains on the walls. The service was attentive but could use more enthusiasm. An overall good choice for those who appreciate character and history in a hotel.
