Stayed for a long weekend with a partner and dog. Staff were super friendly and attentive. Breakfast was delicious and provided daily walks and info which was really helpful! Beautiful spot and super dog friendly, with dog washing facilities as well as complimentary sausage for your dog at breakfast and doggy box in the room on arrival provided towels / dog blankets and bowl. We will definitely stay again!

We had a nice stay, the staff were very friendly and helpful. The hotel has character and the food and drink excellent, loved the 3 different bar areas. Would stay again!!

We enjoyed our 2-night stay. It's a good location for exploring the surrounding Shropshire Hills. The distant views are lovely. Unfortunately, there was some renovation work being carried out on the patio, so we weren't able to sit out to enjoy the best views. There is on-site hotel parking. Our room was comfortable, but we would have preferred not to have a bath in the bedroom, as it restricted the space in the room a bit. The shower was fine. The breakfast was good and the staff were very friendly. We would definitely use this hotel again.

Excellent place to stay with beautiful surroundings. Would thoroughly recommend.

Great hotel with excellent food and beer in a beautiful area.

Lovely place and staff, will definitely be back, hopefully sooner than later. Wonderful base for the Shropshire Hills.

We really enjoyed our stay at the castle hotel . The room was comfortable , the staff very friendly & the food excellent. We will definitely be back in the Spring

What a great hotel! A very warm welcome for us and the dog, including a special doggy box in the room which was a nice touch.Breakfast was fabulous, dinner was tasty, beer was excellent but the best part has to be the stunning garden and terrace with views across to the hills.A wonderful 2 night stay and would highly recommend.

Fantastic Hotel full of character loved the open fires ,the garden was gorgeous ,food excellent

Wonderful break in the heart of the Shropshire hills. Hotel is very well run but still retains a quirkyness, central to the town of Bishops Castle. We enjoyed our stay but would advise against staying in Room 9 as it was right up amongst the eaves

Charming and well maintained in a picturesque town.

Great character property and value. Pet friendly, wonderful food, real fires and history all round.

A lovely old hotel, a bit quirky. The uneven floors were hilarious, one proceeded about in little downhill runs and staggers which all added to the fun. Staff are super, friendly and efficient with nothing too much trouble. Food was very good and the whole place had a lovely ambience and the views around were superb. Altogether a very good visit and would go there again.

Staff very helpful as we were only booked in for 1 night

I very rarely find the need to post warnings or bad reviews about hotels, but in this case I feel the owners are taking their customers for granted. The Castle Hotel is an old building with charm and character that befits its setting among the Shropshire Hills. The staff are pleasant and, breakfast was very good indeed, but there the positives end. Our room (#9) was a tiny corner attic conversion that is so narrow that the slopping roof-line cuts into the corner of the door. The only place two tall residents can stand upright is directly next to the wall on the right, for the six foot or so space to the bed, which itself is positioned beneath slopping dormer roof-lines. There are bedside tables and a sideboard, but these cant be reached without stooping down, which is painful for someone with spine problems. I have never stayed in a room anywhere near as small and uncomfortable as this.The small double bed comprises of a 9 high solid-top divan base that presumably once had an accompanying sprung-base top section. The mattress was the foam-block type that one normally finds sold with children beds. Consequently we did not have the one thing that you might expect from a hotel stay: a decent nights sleep.As an aside, the room was very warm during the night; was overlooked by the dormer window next room along; had cobwebs around the light fittings; had a dirty toilet seat hinge-area; had a loose toilet roll holder; and the shower tap has a mind of its own.

What a lovely hotel. Everything about it was excellent, the staff, the room, the experience. So friendly, polite and helpful, the staff offered a great service. The room was very comfortable and clean, the tea/coffee faciliies were excellent with a bottle of water provided and a bottle flask for use on walks, and ample sachets of tea, coffee, sugar and biscuits. Our breakfast was included in the package and included full English, continental, various alternatives to the full English, and vegetarian and vegan options. It was served by extremely pleasant staff and the food was presented beautifully. Would definitely recommend a visit and stay to this hotel. The views were beautiful from our room and there were lovely garden facilities.

Small, independant hotel in a pleasant location, also a pub. Rooms big enough, old building though and not a straight wall in the place. Restaurant was decent enough. Large and well maintained garden for the pub with good views across the valley. free wifi.

Everything was up to a good standard except the bed which was a bit to firm and uncomfortable
