The location was great, the hotel was superb, the room number 11 was perfect, very clean and spacious for two of us with tea/coffee facilities, and the staff very welcoming and very helpful indeed. If i travel near this location again i would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone and would definitely stay again.

We live 10 seconds away so we use this pub a lot, for drinks and food. Food is spot on, basic but good. Decent selection of beers. A great pub in winter as the fire's always on!

We went for some food and drinks here and sat in the restaurant side which was lovely. The bar side was nice too though with a roaring fire on the go. There was a valentines day menu on offer so I went for the ham hock terrine starter and then had the lamb for main off that and it was delicious. Staff were all very polite. Some tables were already reserved so recommend booking ahead maybe but we got lucky as we got there just before food started at 5.30pm. Nice atmosphere and great food so worth a visit

Just had a weekend stay here. Delightful pub / restaurant/ hotel right in the heart of Much Wenlock. The building is historic on the outside & spotless on the inside, . How much Brasso do they use? Fabulous food, delightful staff - thanks to Victoria who works the bar in the evening & the lady who served us breakfast & dinner. Massive rooms, ample free car parking. Well stocked bar. Easy choice.
