Looking to stay in the heart of history-rich Shrewsbury? You'll be off to a flying start at this crisp, contemporary bolthole, just a five-minute walk from the centre. Inside, what this new build lacks in old-age charm, makes up for with light-filled, immaculately presented spaces. The freestanding bath with a TV for a long soak is a nice touch – although if there are four of you to stay, you'll have to spill out to the bistro table and breakfast bar if you plan to eat in. Or skip cooking and test out Shrewsbury's vibrant culinary scene instead. There are plenty of options tucked away in its atmospheric back streets and down on the scenic Quay.
