This hotel is well placed in terms of access to lovely Shrewsbury. The riverside path leads up through the park, once run by Percy Thrower and into town (10-15 mins). The hill road up to town is lined with small, independent shops full of artisan wares and eclectic curiosities (about 10 mins if you're over 55 and depends how distracted... More

I stayed at this hotel for a night in early April. The room was of generous size, the bed was comfortable and the owner was business-like and courteous. I enjoyed the breakfast which was nicely served and of generous proportions. I thought the hotel was a real find and I would not hesitate to stay there again. Ian F

The rooms are v clean and our room was comfortable, and relatively quiet. Shower was a bit tricky to get temperature sorted and required patience. Breakfast was ok, good quality bacon and average quality sausage. I've read the other posts about the owner etc. He isn't rude at all, he just has a slightly dour character and I wonder if... More

Having stayed on numerous occasions at the Sandford since 2010, we have been made to feel very welcome to the extent that the staff and owners feel like extended family.

We stayed here for 3 nights and it was perfectly okay for our needs. As a family of 5 we basically needed somewhere to sleep and have breakfast because we were out all day. The room was clean and so was the ensuite. Breakfast is served from 8 - 9 and there was a selection of cereals, fruit, toast and... More

We stayed here for two nights following our arrival in Shrewsbury by train. The hotel is in a good location for the shops and walks on the riverside. We were met by the owner and given a twin room on the top floor, two flights of steps on a circular staircase, no help with cases was offered. The room was... More

Our stay at Sandford House Hotel was ok except for the following slight gripes. The website states 'Free Secure Off Street Parking Next to the Hotel' and 'Free Parking only to guests booking direct with the hotel'. Having booked directly with the hotel, we arrived to find that the 'free secure off street parking' was the public car park around... More
