The Castle Hotel BISHOP'S CASTLE, SHROPSHIRE |
The Castle Hotel at Bishop’s Castle has been welcoming travellers since 1760. Today the hotel offers a choice of three bars each with its own individual character, some with open fires, some with terraces out into the garden. Or try our oak panelled restaurant, believed to feature in the Mary Webb novel "The House in Dormer Forest". And when the weather is warm, (and remember it’s always sunny in Shropshire), our beautiful south facing gardens with fantastic terrace and raised fish ponds provide the perfect spot for a light repast and a cooling beverage. Our 18th century coaching inn boasts seven lovely bedrooms, all en-suite, and all suffused with that elusive “away from it all” feeling. |
