By chance, on a long trip to Shropshire to collect a piece of electrical equipment, we found ourselves at Bishops Castle deep in winter with night approaching. The Castle Hotel staff readily made us welcome without any fuss and found us spacious and comfortable rooms on the top floor which were themeselves without apparent fault. The dormers can be seen...

Bishops Castle is an amazing place! The hotel is the centerpiece of the quaint village nestled in the beautiful Welsh/English countryside. No complaints - utterly amazing!

The hotel is an early 18th. century building and so appeals to those more concerned with character than modernity. That said, the en-suite facilities are all that a 21st. century guest would expect. The setting is that of a lively, small town in the beautiful rolling country of the Welsh Marches. Food and beer are locally sourced; the former is... More

Very good food, excellent ale and terrific service. We were very happy with everything at the Castle. This is a great hotel for exploring South Shropshire.

The panelling in the atmospheric dining room is 350 years old! Which gives an idea of how much history pervades this wonderful building. Add to that comfortable rooms - ours had a stupendous view across the town rooftops and miles of countryside - attentive and friendly service and great food, not forgetting the amazing terraced gardens where we would certainly...

We didn't stay here but ate on Easter Sunday 2012. The service was excellent. Starters were sardines, three large ones, served with salad and dressing. Delicious. For main course the steak was extremely tender and the chicken livers delightful. It can't be described as cheap but

We live locally and eat out regularly . The new ownership has raise an already high bar to new levels. The effort and skill that has been put into subtle and simpathetic changes to the decor ,furnishings menu and selection of beers in increadable. The menu is big , varied and the food 5 stars.

Stayed at the castle hotel for a wedding held nearby. Staff were very accommodating, arranging an early check in so we could get ready for the wedding. Our room was lovely, modern and lovely furniture but still cosy and comfy ! The most comfortable hotel bed ever and the best, most powerful shower ever too ! I was feeling too... More

We had 3 day mid-week break in early March and this historic hotel at the top of the town was full which says a lot for its reputation. The friendly welcome was the beginning of a really relaxing stay. Our very comfortable room on the top floor had a lovely view across this delightful little market town to the hills... More

We have just come home from a three night stay at this hotel and my only complaint was we couldn't stay longer. We arrived on Thursday evening and were booked into room 1. It was very large and comfortable and had easy access to the garden and way out,handy to get our two dogs in and out without disturbing anyone.... More
