The Swan Taphouse

Darrell was an absolute treat, finally a place with atmosphere and genuine customer service with a personality. We had a poor experience at another local establishment, it’s safe to say Darrell and Liam saved the day. Excellent food, great team. 10/10

We chose to stay here for a one night stay, on our way to an event in Shrewsbury, and to add another night to our weekend away. The Swan pub was once an 18th century malt house, so the room was a bit quirky and reflected the age of the property, but it was spacious, clean and comfortable, with a large en-suite and tea & coffee etc provided in the room. We didn't actually use the shower, so can't comment on how good it was. Nor did we eat or drink in the pub, as we prefered the menu at the sister pub next door (The Malthouse, which we have stayed in before and would have again, but the Swan was much cheaper!) The rooms have their own entrance to the car park, so you can come and go outside of the pub opening times. The car park is quite small and a bit tatty, but we managed to get a space when we arrived. There is also street parking and a public car park nearby if the pub car park is full though. Our room had a nice view of the river across the road, and the outside drinking area, but we didn't experience any noise from the pub at all. Having said that, we spent the evening at the pub next door as they had a really good live band playing, and the Swan was close to closing time when we returned to the room! We had a large family room with a double and a single bed in the room and it was very spacious. The bed was a little soft for our liking, but that's just personal preference and we slept ok. We would definitely stay here again, if the price was as reasonable as it was this time.

An interesting pub with decent food, ideally situated for the iron bridge 10 mins walk away, and the museums . My room was comfortable and warm enough given the -5c outside. it had a part glass floor with industrial archeology visible through it.

Swan hotel Taphouse Room was clean and tidy. Lighting wasn't brilliant, eco friendly bulbs = poor lighting. Food and service were excellent. Room was looking out over the river Severn.

Not amused I think there is a special place in hell for hotel owners who chose to play loud gigs without having noise isolation in the rooms. My room was shaking (at 22:09) when I came down to ask when this cacophony will end I had to put fingers in my ears. Not sure why the dude who was playing needed it so loud, maybe he thought he was in Wembley arena or something. Other cons: cups in my room wasn't clean and toilet flush didn't work properly. Oh, and car park is almost always full (there were instances when we couldn't park there). Pros: very nice breakfast and nice friendly staff

Cosy room at an excellent price Great stay. Room was clean, cosy, old with beams. It’s an old building so creaky floorboards and little corridors/stairs. A small amount of parking available. Breakfast was good and served at a pub/hotel a couple of doors down. Excellent value for the price and would absolutely stay again
