10/10

A lovely inn, dating from the 17th century, with a wood-burning stove in the bar adding to the warmth of the welcome! Clean, comfortable, and with every attention to detail, the customer's comfort is paramount to the friendly and helpful staff who populate this hotel. An early riser, I was always present when cleaning was taking place downstairs and observed how thoroughly this was done. Staff work hard, and do not allow conversation to distract from the task in hand. My room was serviced every day, and, although I could have chosen not to let this happen, it was such a pleasure to return from breakfast to a clean room and a neatly made up bed. Breakfast was unfailingly freshly cooked and hot. Meals were always of a high standard, and bar service prompt and efficient. Much Wenlock is a lovely old town. The Guildhall and The Priory are both worth a visit, and the area abounds with attractions for tourists, including the fascinating Blists Hill Victorian Town, for which the visitor should set aside several hours. a trip to Shrewsbury was simple and straightforward, due to the frequency of the Park and Ride. All in all, a very enjoyable stay.

Stayed for four nights over a weekend: clean comfortable bedrooms, cosy public rooms, friendly and helpful staff, and good food - couldn't ask for anything more really. And the town of Much Wenlock is delightful.

This hotel should be ashamed of itself, from check in to departure I felt permanently disappointed. 1. Rude check in staff who did not make me feel welcome at all 2. The entire place was last decorated in 1982 and maintained at that design since, heavy embossed wall paper, too much ornate furniture and clutter and tat everywhere, blankets on the bed with bedspreads etc 3. Mixer tap shower over the bath which took an age to get balanced 4. Very poor quality breakfast, everything was deep fried 5. Inattentive service throughout, each and event time I arrived back at the hotel not one single person greeted me or even spoke to me The list could go on. It would be easy to read this and think I was being picky, I am not. I am in hotel every week for my job and this level of standard is not acceptable. The usual place I stay at was full and it is exceptional every single time hence me staying at the Gaskell which I was the only resident for 2 of my 3 nights. This standards of places are high especially in this price bracket. If this was £35 a night I would be much more inclined to say it was ok but when you are £80 plus you must do considerably better. The only good thing about staying there is that know never to book it again...

Jeg ble litt skeptisk da jeg så at hotellet ligger midt i et veikryss og at rommet mitt lå rett over puben, men om natten når jeg skulle sove, hadde puben stengt og det var ingen trafikk på veien, så det var overhodet ikke noe problem. Stort, pent, litt gammeldags rom og ditto bad, men alt var rent og ordentlig. Hyggelig betjening, god frokost og helt ålreit mat på restauranten også. Anbefales!

Our visit was spoilt by the hot water running out after two showers. It never returned and we only got a discount after we requested one.
