What Our Customers Say
Anna B
We used this hostel for a walking weekend. We took a group of 6 ladies and everyone commented on how lovely it is, in terms of location and facilities. I highly recommend!
Dave L
Just back from a great camping weekend. Cooked breakfast and evening meals were spot on, just what we needed for a weekend walking. Lovely lounge to sit in with open fire and games and a lovely friendly host.
Lucky iq
Highlights included: Beers and a great dinner at The Bridges pub round the corner; The Drying Room; the real fire in the lounge; Paul, the warden, for his breakfast and being generally really helpful; the splendid isolation; and the beautiful Shropshire Hills.
Ugz
The beds were comfy, the kitchen was well equipped, the dining room was huge and the outside space had loads of distractions (table tennis, table football, fire pit, huge slide & swings). We’ll be back. Thanks Paul.
