We stayed in the family room.The mattress on the bunkbeds were a little uncomfortable, but the room was lovely. Very clean and bright, and we were supplied with fresh towels, bottles of water, biscuits and tea, coffee and hot chocolate everyay. There is a good selection of food served and the staff were very friendly and helpful. The surrounding area is beautiful with lots of things to do close by. I would recommended The Shakespear Inn.

Quiet retreat from the world

Beautiful location. I tend to stay on Tuesdays and Wednesdays when the pub is closed. Then it's a really quiet place to relax. The rooms are quaint and clean, if a little dated.

Lovely place to stay

Went to a regatta at Ironbridge. Travelling on my own I felt safe at the accommodation and it was a lovely stay. The food at the pub is amazing and all the staff so friendly and helpful. The room was very cute and had everything that I needed, including a small fridge that was a bonus as it was very hot and kept my water cool. Parking is next to the pub and had no issues. There was a fan in the room that kept the room cool overnight. Def recommend.

Coalport stay

Rooms was as described in info. Plenty of space for a family. The small fridge was a nice addition. Room was above the bar so a little noisy but quietened down after 11.30pm. Room was quite light despite blackout blind on one window. No soap in bathroom but quickly addressed once staff advised. Service was patchy. Not an overly friendly welcome with first request for payment. Ate in the pub but a bit disappointed with service, food and drinks. Good playground and pub garden
