Positive Reviews

positive:

Great rooms with exposed beams

The rooms are adjacent to the actual pub itself giving guests lots of privacy. They are cottages with traditional features still in tact with exposed beams and stable doors. Previous guests really rate the rooms as they are well decorated and spacious.

positive:

Excellent staff, very welcoming

The staff within the restaurant and bar are very friendly making guests feel at home when they arrive. They give a feeling of being a regular and nothing is too much trouble.

positive:

Very quaint village setting

Bishops castle is a market town set in Shropshire where many people visit throughout the year. Previous guests of the hotel have stated they will no doubt be returning as the location is perfect and the accommodation very good quality.


Negative Reviews

negative:

Food takes an age to arrive when ordered

The reviews about the food served here are very good however the waiting time ruins this somewhat as guests have had to wait so long. The meals have arrived separately on occasion so people are unable to eat together.

negative:

Lots of double booking of rooms going on

The previous reviews about the booking issues which crop up in this hotel are over the phone as well as when people arrive. Those who have booked well in advance for special occasions have had phone calls closer to the time to cancel as they are double booked. No apology or compensation is offered.

negative:

Rude owner

The owner of the establishment has unfortunately received negative reviews due to the way he has spoken to people either on the phone, on reception or in the bar area. Some people have left due to this reason and will not return as he has been so rude.
