The Shakespeare Inn

Inn is more into being a pub and less interested in servicing its B&B guests. NO breakfast is offered and dinner is served in the pub with B&B guests having to wait their turn with pub patrons. Room is spacious and bed comfortable. Room is over the pub bar so some noise in the evening. Inn is some distance from Ironbridge Heritage Site.

Awful stay. Booked the B&B for me and colleague for 1 night and was emailed the day before to be told the Pub was closed and provided with instructions to obtain the key from a key book. The room smelt musty and damp to which the staff had addressed by placing a large automated perfume dispenser in the ceiling which made sleeping very difficult as the noise continually woke me up. In the morning the Pub was still shut and not open for breakfast so we was forced to leave on an empty stomach so this place can not claim to be an B&B.

We booked on a Tuesday and wasn’t aware that it was closed on a Tuesday. Checking in was after 5 we called the number on the window and after 5 they answered and gave us instructions how to access the property. Gorgeous location!!! The only room available was a family room same price as a double so no problem. Access would be limited with a pram. Nice little private play area. Bed wasn’t great very soft and a low bed but hey can’t please everyone. Clean and tidy plenty of towels pillows etc. WiFi connection is very poor but if you want to get away from it all could be an advantage. Lots of lovely pubs nearby all serving food so being closed wasn’t an issue but would have been great to have a nightcap and would have eaten there had it been open. Would I stay again probably but I’ll make it not a Tuesday and book well in advance and see what a double room is like.

Had a brilliant stay, room great facilities, fridge , ironing board and iron, hair dryer , tea making facilities, everything you need, staff are freindly and the food is fantastic quality for pri e, would stay jere again with out doubt

Pub was cloesed on arrival had to ring and get booked in. Pub was closed on a Wednesdays night locals said it was closed monday Tuesdays and Wednesdays most weeks. Middle of no where quite hard to fond somewhere to eat. Looks like it could be a nice pub in a nice area but a closed pub in a quite area is pointless

This was our second stay here and there are many good things about the Shakespeare Bed & Breakfast, so we were looking forward to our stay. Unfortunately we only found out when we checked-in, that the owners had decided to stop serving breakfast sometime between us booking the room and arriving at the B&B, even though the rooms are actually above the property’s restaurant! Apparently the owners of the B&B decided that they were not making enough profit from the breakfasts so they decided to stop serving breakfast altogether. The rooms are not cheap, so I’m sure the owners will not go hungry (unlike their guests). The problem is that the B&B is in a small village and there are not many places to eat breakfast nearby. We were given one suggestion that was 5 minutes walk away, but they didn’t open until 10am. If we had known that it was a “Bed & Breakfast” without the breakfast, we would have booked somewhere else.

Lovely, spotlessly clean room and comfortable bed. Staff were friendly and helpful. The cooked breakfast (extra - only available at weekend) was very good. Would have given top marks but 2 things prevented me - the steep brick steps to the room - not only steep but had wet leaves on them - a bit dangerous and the constant music from the bar below spoilt the otherwise tranquil atmosphere. Despite this I would stay again.

A lovely find. The team were very friendly and helpful. It was a great location for exploring the area. The room was comfortable and the breakfast was freshly cooked with plenty of options.

A beautiful pub in stunning surroundings. Staff most welcoming and helpful. Popular for it's meals, range of dishes, reasonable prices and ample portions.

I didn’t realise when I booked the actual public house is closed on a Monday and Tuesday… so no evening meal or breakfast there. Entry to the accommodation is at the rear of the property and the keys are Inside a security box on the wall. I was supposed to have received an email explaining all this to me but I didn’t. I had to call a number to get help to gain entry.. the signal in that part of the country is so poor it took me several calls to receive clear instructions from the young lady It’s in a beautiful setting but plan ahead or you could be waiting outside for hours before you can access your accommodation
