Really excellent! Stay a couple of times now and always really love it, proper look forward to my visit. Everyone is super friendly, the place is really well looked after and decorated and makes for a fun stay. They leave water by ur bed and have an honesty bar you can use if wanted. The breakfast was really nice and the room super comfy. Thanks for another amazing stay!

My visit started with a wonderful welcome by checkin staff who ran out to help me with the door and my bags. They went on to provide a lot of local information to help our stay. And the rest of the stay continued like that. Fantastic breakfast. Fab honesty bar. First class all round

We had a lovely stay, our room was huge and so was the bed. The car park was just around the corner so just a short walk with the luggage. The breakfast was lovely as were all the staff. We would definitely stay again.

Absolutely wonderful place - I'd highly recommend staying here! The atmosphere is relaxed, the staf really friendly and helpful, the bed super comfortable with little touches like a flask of water in the room as well as the usual tea/coffee, biscuits etc. The highlight for me was the breakfast which was FABULOUS and included options for gluten-free/wheat-free/vegan etc, they seem to have thought of everything! Nothing was too much trouble either - they were happy for us to have a slightly later breakfast as we did the parkrun! The other thing is the hotel is bang in the centre of town but down a side alleyway so it's very quiet (we had a room overlooking the garden in the modern building behind) and there's parking, which is another huge plus!

interesting, period stay. nice car park close by though £1.20 per hour after 8am, can pay before hand so no early morning rush. Complicated entry system for late arrivals after 7pm. My garden room was lovely with plenty of interest. hot water for basin controlled by button I never found. Nice breakfast with plenty of choice. Easy to exit Shrewsbury from. frienly and helpful staff.

We can see why there are LOTS of excellent reviews for Darwin’s Town House. It really is a delightful place to stay. No doubt MOST people are allocated rooms in the main house. And most of those rooms are lovely! The free breakfast is excellent and the staff are lovely. Unfortunately, we were allocated one of the ‘not so good’ rooms in garden area. Read a few 1 star reviews to get my gist. It was awful! Grubby looking grey carpet, thin walls, you could hear ALL the bathroom activities from the room above. Not nice. A very dispiriting experience where you can feel your heart sink. But, as luck would have it! We were reallocated another room at the top of the main house! OK, it meant climbing up two steep, winding stairways but (albeit we are in our mid seventies) we managed it fine. Especially with the help of Daisy, a truly lovely member of staff and an absolute credit to the B&B. However, one can’t help but think about what other poor unsuspecting souls might be allocated the room that we were initially allocated. On departure we attempted to mention this concern to the manager/owner of this establishment. Like the descriptions of others in the one star reviews her response was deeply unpleasant. Do read the 1* reviews they are telling the truth. And one was an absolute tonic to read because his description was so much in a similar vein to ours but expressed in such a way it made me laugh for a good five minutes. So, problem now solved for us. We won’t go there again.

I booked it for a one-night stay with some friends—the perfect location for exploring Shrewsbury. The rooms are comfy with quirky Darwin-themed decor. They have a well-stocked honesty bar so you can enjoy a drink in the lovely garden or the snug. The breakfast must have been one of the best I have had in a long time and is freshly cooked. Although there is no parking at the property itself there are two car parks close by and we had no problems finding a space. Prices for the car park are very good, especially Abbey Foregate car park. Plus, there is the best gelateria just around the corner.

Darwin House is in a great location near to the centre of Shrewsbury. The rooms are beautifully decorated, we had a twin and it had everything we needed. Nice little touches like toiletries and good coffee in the room. Excellent breakfast in a very pretty dining room overlooking a hidden garden. Would stay again.
