The Castle Hotel

Subject: Overnight stay at The Castle Hotel, Bishops Castle. The Castle Hotel, Bishops Castle. In the Shropshire Hills, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty close to the Welsh Border - The Marches. One of our favourite escapes for a short stay, especially when there are such tempting offers at The Castle Hotel. It has a fabulous location perched high up overlooking the town surrounded by the Shropshire Hills. We stayed overnight in Room 3 on the first floor, a large welcoming, comfortable room with a huge bed and a feature roll top bath for a touch of indulgent bathing. There is also an en-suite shower room, so no excuses for being late for dinner. We have stayed in several rooms at The Castle Hotel and we agreed this is the room we will try to get on future visits. The two bars are warm and inviting with a good range of local beers and spirits and open fires with the possibility of informal dining although the more intimate wooden panelled restaurant is delightful. We especially like the new garden room at the far end of the lounge with access to the newer terracing with a variety of covered accommodation in the garden. The well trained, friendly, efficient staff are most welcoming and can take of most request. The food is excellent, be it breakfast, lunch, dinner or any time snacks. Professional chefs with a good choice of delicious recipes. Thoroughly enjoyed our overnight stay, looking forward to our next escape. Eddie and June Watkins

Had a lovely stay for my works party. Very nice comfy and clean rooms. Beautifully decorated and lovely staff. Breakfast was excellent with plenty of choice. I will 100% return again as it was a lovely place to stay. Price wasn't terrible either

Great value, modest hotel. Courteous service, really dog-friendly with a bowl, blankets etc supplied. We were on a dinner, B&B deal - fab breakfast (including for the dog) and top notch 3 course dinner, the bar was really cosy and it’s convenient for walking and touring. We had a great time.
