Great location within walking distance of the shops, restaurants and sights of the town with paid parking available just around the corner. Fabulous room and a lovely garden to sit out in of an evening. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The breakfast was freshly cooked and absolutely delicious.

10/10 Exceptional

Another enjoyable stay at Darwin. The room was spotless and had a comfortable bed. The staff were very helpful and friendly. Breakfast was very good and plentiful. There’s a honesty bar where you can help yourself to drinks and snacks and pay on departure. The hotel is very close to the town centre where there are lots of eating places to choose from. We parked on the St Julien’s Friars carpark which is reasonable priced and just round the corner from the hotel. Would definitely recommend here.

Lovely stay that ticked every box. The room was comfortable and very homely. Check-in was really easy and the room was ready early. We took the breakfast option and it didn't disappoint. You could just tell all the ingredients were quality and the service was too. Would definitely recommend staying and I'm sure we'll stay again in charming Shrewsbury.
