Decent location for one night stopover. Staff were friendly and efficient. Room pretty basic but all okay for what we paid. Downfall was the noise early morning, being woken to trucks beeping and reversing at 7am on a Sunday isn't my idea of a good night's sleep (which is all we really needed, this was the followed by trolleys clanking and banging, so think this is a real downfall to what should have been a nice little stopover. I advised the receptionist and she said it was the deliveries....which I understand are needed ....but not 7am on Sunday surely and if so some more thought for those sleeping. Sadly this affected my overall rating as really you pay to have a good sleep but I didn't get that.

I stayed at Lilleshall hall hotel last week for a Christmas work event, the night itself was wonderful and a lot of effort had gone into making it festive, the Christmas Dinner was great and the room was decorated well, could not fault the evening…. However my stay at the hotel and our guest room was not to the same standards. There was no signal in the area and the wi-fi was not working, the reception couldn’t help, they said everyone is having issues with it although the receptionist was sat using her mobile. I noticed there was no hairdryer in the room and I asked for one I was told that there should be one in every room and someone would bring me one… 90mins later, still no hairdryer. I went down to reception again to be greeted with a new receptionist who told me she couldn’t do anything about it, I got annoyed as I was told I was going to be brought one so she agreed (eventually) to get one to me, it arrived 20mins later. The room for 2 guests only had a bath mat and two small towels to shower with not even a hand towel, not useful when the sink being a rounded bowl couldn’t handle the tap being on more than a dribble as it washed up and spilled all over the floor. Morning after our do, we headed down to breakfast just after 9.15 which was served until 10 to empty trays and was told to help ourselves to very little, there was no sausage, tomato or mushrooms they had ran out. The server told us they wasn’t told of the numbers staying and didn’t have enough. Such a shame as the place overall is beautiful and the night time party was great but customer service not a very strong point and staff are less than helpful, even when I expressed my concerns via email I was given a uninterested response. Definitely would go back for a night out but stay at the premier in down the road.

Just back from a weekend stay at Anton Guest house! We had such an enjoyable stay. Came across Anton guest house through wanting to use a ‘buy a gift’ voucher. Upon confirmation of the booking, I received an email with detailed information on where to go in Shrewsbury as well as suggested restaurants we should book. Upon arrival, we were pleased to see that was a great location and about a 15 min walk into town. Breakfast was delicious! Louise is a great host, she makes fresh cakes almost daily to provide to her guests. There is also a fridge available for guests to use which is handy. Louise has thought of everything to enable her guests to have a fantastic stay. We will definitely be back.

Me and my girlfriend stayed here for just over a week. The hotel is really clean, staff are excellent, and have always been helpful. The staff are polite, always checking your okay and if we need anything. Overall 5 star. Good location, not far from the town centre and lots of restaurants and fast foods surrounding.

2 night stay with friends while touring Shropshire, Herefordshire and Wales. Private grounds, off road parking covered by CCTV and a warm welcome from the friendly staff. Rooms were en suite, clean and warm. Breakfast was included in the room rate, was of good quality and plentiful. Hotel has bar and light bites menu or there are restaurants and pubs a short 5 minute walk away. Family run hotel with a small, long serving, team and it shows. Would have no hesitation in recommending this hotel and look forward to my next stay.
