8/10 Very good

Our Stay

Wonderfully friendly, helpful staff. A spacious bedroom, quiet and well equipped. The only blip was the dated bathroom. Painted chips to the bath and the ‘gold’ rubbed off the taps etc.
Linda, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

A very enjoyable stay

A lovely old house, so creaking floorboards and no lift but that just goes with the character of the property. Very friendly and efficient staff, very clean, excellent breakfast, very good 'light bites' food in bar which was all we needed in the evening (restaurants about 10 mins walk away). My bed could have done with a new mattress but in any event I slept like a log so can't complain too much about that.
Mozley, 1-night trip

Really lovely attentive staff. beautiful building and gardens. We only stayed one night on our way to somewhere else but it was so nice id like to go back and explore there a bit more.

Wonderful Reception Staff!

The member of staff on reception is excellent. She moves around from reception to bar to restaurant and is very efficient - she is a credit to the hotel!

Lovely Stay!

We loved our stay at the Ancient Gatehouse. The room was lovely and looked out over the green in front of the Wells Cathedral. The staff is very friendly and helpful and the hotel has an excellent Italian restaurant, where we enjoyed a delicious dinner before walking around the lovely town of Wells. Americans should know it is not air conditioned, but air conditioning is rare in the UK and Europe. There is a fan and lovely large windows. We will definitely return.

A lovely place to stay

Stayed one night here and it was lovely. The building is beautifully decorated and is clearly looked after by the owners. Our room was bright and decorated in keeping with the age of the building. We had a drink in the bar and sat in the living area which was very nice. Breakfast the next morning was freshly cooked and plentiful. The staff are lovely and would definitely stay again if we were back in the area.

Great Stay

Really nice place to stay, the room I had was also huge. The service was very friendly and efficient, and the breakfast was probably the best hotel breakfast I’ve ever had.

Lovely setting and grounds

Really liked the hotel architecture and grounds. Staff were very pleasant and friendly. Breakfast options for vegans. Quiet and comfortable setting. Some of the furniture in the room could do with an upgrade as some tired and stained. Bathroom could be a bit cleaner around taps and shower basin.

2 night stay.

Lovely period hotel with mostly period furniture. Very welcoming and helpful staff. I was staying on my own but there was such a good friendly atmosphere I didn’t feel “on my own”. It was beautifully decorated for Christmas.

We have stayed a number of times. The rooms are comfortable, the staff always very pleasant & welcoming. A really good breakfast to start the day. A good location for seeing Shropshire from, park & ride for Shrewsbury is only a short drive, Attingham National Trust is also within easy reach. We look forward to returning again.
