Very good value stay £70 room including 2 breakfasts'! Staff were very friendly and helpful. Only slight downside is the noise if there is live music in the pub, but this wrapped up around midnight for us and closing the window made it barely audible to no big issue.

A hidden gem! With character. Excellent value for money. Very spacious room (Room 3). Friendly, no fuss staff. We joined in with the locals in the quiz on Wednesday evening - great fun. Had the 2 for £20 meal deal - good belly pork. Nice real ale - Wainwrights. Good breakfast. Central location, 10 minutes walk from railway station.

Quaint pub; prefect spot for visiting Shrewsbury!

Clean, warm, good shower, nice toiletries, excellent cooked breakfast and friendly, helpful staff. The location was perfect too; smack - bang in the town centre, which meant that everything was accessible to us on foot. We really enjoyed our stay at The Old Post Office, and would stay there again.

I was not happy with a walk down the corridor to my private bathroom and it was an awkward combination of doors and staircases to reach my bedroom. It felt over-priced but the location was excellent
