Excellent place to stay, amazing friendly staff and nice rooms

Historic building in the old town within walking distance to all the major tourist sites.

Wonderful staff, and great location.

The staff were excellent! So friendly and accommodating!

We very much enjoyed our stay--this is a great location and the rooms were very nice. We very much appreciated the staff's willingness to help us check in a little late and for staying around to give us some great recommendations for our stay.

Lovely, helpful staff. Very caring and highly accommodating for my needs (I am disabled). The garden room was fabulous. Comfortable, clean, beautifully designed. What a fabulous place to stay. I highly recommend staying here.

Very updated, comfortable beds, close to the main part of town

Booked for a group of friends to celebrate a 60th birthday and Darwin's didn't disappoint. Decor and furnishings were stunning, bed extremely comfortable and shower hot. Definitely will 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!

We very impressed with the hotel, service, staff, comfort and breakfast. Wecwoukd stay again and recommend to friends.

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.

Nice garden to sit in while the sun shone. Imaginative decor everywhere. Wonderful breakfast. Friendly young staff.

Lovely stay - property is very central and the breakfast was excellent. Would highly recommend

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The room was pretty, overlooking a lovely garden. Only one problem, there was a leak in the en suite. Staff brilliant as was the food. Wd definitely come again.

Lovely hotel. Friendly and helpful staff. Terrific breakfast. There is a really good vibe at this hotel.

Very convenient for a visit to Shrewsbury, the centre is just a couple of minutes walk away. The decor is very tasteful and breakfast is excellent. Staff are very welcoming.

Fantastic location in the centre of Shrewsbury. Would go again, and recommend it to friends. Amazing breakfast choice.

Amazing hotel. Unique and quirky and beautifully presented. Truly worth a visit. Friendly staff and delicious breakfast. Highly recommend.

Just so good! The property is gorgeous inside and outside, and the staff are super nice. One thing is that the building (is it listed?) could really use new window frames, as it seems to let in

Really excellent stay! Such a nice hotel, friendly, comfortable and really charming place close to town. Loads of nice touches like a flask of water left next to your bed for the morning. Shows they think about how to make your stay special and enjoyable.

Lovely small hotel offering a great, personal, service. Room comfortable with nice toiletries in the bathroom. Breakfast warrants particular comment - fabulous serving high quality local produce perfectly cooked.

Fabulous stay.Very friendly staff. The room was perfect, beautifully decorated with the Darwin theme. Plenty of tea, coffee milk and biscuits. The breakfast was superb.

Lovely place. Nice and quirky with all the nods to Darwin. Really clean and friendly and so convenient right on the edge of town.

It was an excellent overnight stay. Good location for the river walk. Good location for visiting the centre of Shrewsbury.

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.

Lovely, friendly hotel in center of Shrewsbury. Excellent breakfast and friendly, helpful staff. Nothing was too much trouble. Thank you for a lovely stay!

Wonderful staff, clean& a slap up breakfast.

Lovely townhouse and a nice change formt ehnusyal chain hotels. Super helpful and friendly staff who went above and beyond to. Help with recommendations for dinner. Lovely lounges and the honesty bar was a lovely touch.

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.

Our stay was very pleasant, staff were happy and helpful. Attention to detail in the hotel was a credit to the owners

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.

Room was small and hot. Shower was poor.staff friendly. Breakfast was good. Overpriced for what it was, maybe 3 star
