Beautiful original building. Garden kitted out with tables and chairs and tortoises! (Fake ones 🙂). Room was beautiful. So many Darwin touches. Slept so well which is really unusual for me in a hotel room. Lovely and quiet. Wonderful breakfast. Lovely staff all round. Close to town and ALL the pubs! Definitely recommend.

Friendly and attentive staff at Darwin’s. Loved the Darwin theme throughout and lots of interesting ornaments and features. Two comfortable sitting rooms with a well stocked honesty bar. Lovely area for breakfast which was very enjoyable. We stayed in room 1 which is quite small and cramped but didn’t bother us for one night as it was very clean. The flush on our toilet was a bit poor, the shower not that powerful but not a major problem at all. We liked the location for exploring Shrewsbury, close to the river for a lovely walk to the theatre ( 20 mins ). For town the walk does involve a steep hill which might not be good for anyone with mobility issues. Didn’t get to use the garden area but it looked lovely for a sunny day. We enjoyed our stay and felt very satisfied with everything.

I stayed in April with a friend who has mobility difficulties so we booked the ground floor twin garden room. The room was very clean with quirky decor which we loved. Comfy beds, tea & coffee and border biscuits ( my favourites ) iron and ironing board , fresh bottle of water every day. The bathroom was small with toiletries and nice fluffy towels. Plenty of choice at breakfast. You can have one barista coffee latte cappuccino etc. or you can have filter coffee and tea. The cooked food was fresh and delicious. The garden is so lovely. Plenty of places to sit and enjoy the lovely hot weather we had. There is also a resident robin. The staff are so friendly and helpful. I was talking to the owner about the history of the hotel. I am staying again soon as a solo traveler. I’m looking forward to my stay.

Lovely place! Cosy and clean rooms, delicate bathroom, perfect garden to relax in, a quiet area and direct access to city centre, very helpful and friendly personell. Pubs, food and icecream store basically as nextdoor neighboors. Perfect place to stay at!

Our small twin was up 40 winding steps on the second floor. My 82 year old mum has limited mobility but the unfriendly reception staff showed no concern and only carried one of our cases unwillingly, when we asked for help. Room was small with some minor wear and tear and cannot understand the system they’ve used to self award 5 stars! I had booked as room only by mistake and since noted that this is the default option. Reception team refused to add on breakfast to our rate and paying separately made it expensive. They claimed that they highlight that b&b option is better value but I can see no mention of this online. They should notify guests on booking that accommodation is unsuitable for anyone with mobility or fitness issues.
