Really beautiful B&B. The house has so much character and lovely antique furniture. Brekkie was fab too. We are at Checkers on the square in the evening and the food was great, but service was really slow, so if you’re thinking of doing the same, book an early table. Thanks very much for having us!

Hard Working Host

Booked two rooms and they were fantastic, Ruth is the most hard working host I have ever met, her attention to detail is brilliant. I will stay again as it is so relaxing and peaceful. Room, breakfast and host cannot be beaten, ten out of ten every time. Home made marmalade with fresh local produce, so tasty.

Booked in for an overnight stay while attending a wedding at Garthmyl Hall. Great welcome and very flexible on an early check in to drop our bags and change clothes before the afternoon wedding. Really impressive property, every bit as good as the photos. A hearty breakfast made to order. Highly recommended for a stay in a quaint Welsh village of Montgomery.

Beautifully presented distinguished building of real age that had been purposed for the present century. Most comfortable bed, brilliant shower and a huge tub. Breakfast was excellent - great local produce (sausage was very special) and home made marmalade. Host was friendly but didn't crowd me. Montgomery is charming (excellent bookshop!) so I hope to visit again.

Treasure of find in mid Wales.

We had a wonderful night stay at The old stores. Ruth was so lovely and welcoming. The room was beautiful with a large bed and gorgeous furnishings, the ensuite was huge with a separate shower and stand alone bath, with large fluffy towels, wonderful. Our breakfast was the best we have had staying in boutique B&Bs. We will go back and stay a few more nights in the future.

Ruth was a lovely host, treating us so kindly from the moment we got there. We were given homebaked goods, leaflets on the locality, trails for walking and tips on the events going on over the next days. There a lovely local shops, and any amount of cycling and walking trails, all made very accessible by the town. The house is gorgeous, the bedroom was luxurious and homely at the same time, and made you feel really at home. There was a very convenient and cheap bus from Shrewsbury that stopped right outside the door of the B&B. No doubt about it we will be back!!
