A great place for a relaxing break.

Comfortable room in an old inn, with a 4-poster & settee. Good strong, hot shower. Very quiet, so a good night’s sleep. Very friendly host& staff - the inn providing excellent food & refreshment. Perfectly placed close to the station, car parks, attractions & main shopping areas. All within one of the nicest towns in England.

Highly recommend to stay at Cromwell’s Tap House. It’s located in the heart of Shrewsbury, at walking distance of pretty much everything in town. Only 7 minutes from the train station. The rooms were located on the first floor above the pub. We heard no noise whatsoever, and only in the morning we heard some cars go by, but it was of no nuisance to us. The room was very clean, bed was comfortable and there were a lot of amenities like a hairdryer, coffee, tea, and towels. The linen were also very clean. The discount at the pub was a nice bonus; they have a nice selection of beers at good prices.

Great place to stay!

A lovely pub with great accommodation, rooms was clean and modern with a great shower. We ate in the restaurant and the food was great and reasonably priced. A great selection of real ales etc. Staff were all polite, friendly and helpful. If you’re staying you get 10% off your bill! Highly recommend this lovely pub.

In the heart of the historic city and close to the river and park. You will hear music from the bar below in the evening, but this is to be expected and there were no rowdy people. Easy to check in at the bar.

A great period property. Room clean and well serviced by friendly staff. Bed long enough but too narrow for us, particularly as not budget room. Size limited by room probably. Good tea & coffee and room serviced daily if requested. Imagine room would get very hot in summer but fan provided. It's directly over a bar so you can hear music but all quiet after 11 on our stay but early sleepers may not like.10% discount offered on food and drink nice touch. Good beer garden. Easy access on foot to all city centre sights and bus stop outside. Beware Shrewsbury hills tho.

Disliked: Staff & service

As expected reasonable value.

Not great, no breakfast available. No where to leave your key when you left at 09.05 am. Food prices in the bar were quite high and no snack meals available. Rooms noisy as expected as it’s a pub /restaurant and rooms are above the bar. Rooms are comfortable, clean and comfy

A wonderful experience in a lovely old building. Beautiful room with en-suite and very comfortable bed. Menu and bar are excellent. That said, this establishment would not suit everyone as our room was next to the very noisy beer garden. We certainly didn’t find this an issue. Perfectly situated for the city centre if you are looking for an evening out and it’s peaceful later for a great nights sleep. If we ever return to Shrewsbury this place is our definite go to.
