Super little boutique hotel, this was our second stay and we hope to stay again. The hotel is in a great position close to the award winning market and the town. Lots of interesting eating and drinking venues close by and lovely walks along the Severn River. The food at the Loopy Shrew is excellent as is the service.

Very nice hotel comfy and clean staff were accommodating the breakfast in the morning was very good. One thing I’d note is use the ear plugs left on the glass jar next to the bed, the high street can get busy in the early hours.

Overpriced Hotel

Rooms described as Boutique, but I found nothing special about my room. The bathroom was small and claustrophobic. The inclusive breakfast was excellent. Parking is very expensive and the car park local to the hotel is a max 2 hour stay

We would definitely stay at the Loopy Shrew again. Great value for money. Our room and bathroom were very clean, quiet and comfortable. We heard nothing from the pub below. The location is great, with very short walks to beautiful areas of town. There was a lovely array of breakfast choices included for free with the room charge; we had vegetarian eggs Benedict, coffee/tea & juice. Our main suggestion is to provide a standing fan on warmer evenings. Also, the comfy duvet was just too hot so a plain sheet would have been great.

Lovely B&B in town centre

Had one night in a single on B&B basis while visiting family for a night out. Building is a pub in an old building with the upper rooms converted to accommodation. Although the room was small it was a masterpiece of how to use space and did. Not feel cramped in any way. The room was spotless and the bed comfortable. With the property being on a main thoroughfare and a very busy pub a nice touch was the provision of earplugs. Breakfast was served in a restaurant area at the back of the pub. Unlike most hotel breakfasts you choose from a menu and it’s cooked fresh for you and was top quality. Staff were lovely, but a note of caution for nervous types there are no staff on site overnight, but a telephone number is provided in case of emergency. There is no onsite parking, but a public car park is available across the road. I travelled by train and the station is 10 minutes walk.

Decent, but not a seamless

Decor is nice, location is good. Loopy Shrew is a full-on bar so if you want to get to sleep before midnight on a weekend, you might struggle here. Matress was very comfy, drains a bit smelly in the bathroom. Breakfast was good, but staff seemed a little rushed. Check out was confusing, due to an issue on their / Expedia's booking system they temporarily spooked us into thinking we hadn't paid, when we most definitely had. We got a great deal, so overall are happy... had it been full price - not sure we would have been.
