Lovely overnight stay in Shrewsbury! Loved the style of the property and service was great on arrival, loved the communal areas and honesty bar, while room was characterful, comfortable and clean. Would highly recommend and would definitely stay again!
Fantastic stay - A beautiful hotel with wonderful service and facilities.
Independent property with brilliantly curated decor, atmosphere and accommodation.
The honesty bar was perfect, with great choice and all tastes catered for!
Breakfast was award winning - says it all.
Thank you and please support this hotel - it deserves to thrive.
Tucked away just off the busy Wyle Cop and therefore instantly accessible to the wonderful offerings of Shrewsbury, Darwin's Townhouse is comfortable, clean and quiet. And when I say comfortable, the bed is great, had a brilliant night's sleep.
We didn't stay for breakfast so I can't comment on that, but have heard good things so we'll save that for next time!
Great location, lovely hotel, great breakfast, friendly service. Our room was a bit hidden away and quite small with low ceilings, but it had charm, and I think it was the last one left.
Darwins Townhouse was excellent in all ways. Pleasant staff, exceptional service, exceptionally clean, warm and comfortable.
Wonderful location to town and very quiet.
The breakfasts are great, the rooms cozy and comfortable, but the standout thing about the place is the friendliness of the staff. Julie - this even includes you!!! (In truth, especially you!). This was our second visit and won't be our last!
Really excellent! Stay a couple of times now and always really love it, proper look forward to my visit. Everyone is super friendly, the place is really well looked after and decorated and makes for a fun stay. They leave water by ur bed and have an honesty bar you can use if wanted. The breakfast was really nice and the room super comfy. Thanks for another amazing stay!
My visit started with a wonderful welcome by checkin staff who ran out to help me with the door and my bags. They went on to provide a lot of local information to help our stay. And the rest of the stay continued like that. Fantastic breakfast. Fab honesty bar. First class all round
What a fantastic unique take on staying away
Such a great place to stay .wish we could have stayed longer and would definitely like to go back . An incredible breakfast to top it all off with great friendly staff .
Stayed in a room behind the main hotel building and across the lovely walled garden. Twin room very comfortable and in keeping with the Darwin theme. Well provided with choice of teas etc. Room toastie and warm. Very convenient for a concert at Shrewsbury Abbey, just a short walk away.
Lovely and creative decor, friendly staff, self serve bar and nibbles, great for my mum who can’t walk upstairs very well as we stayed in a ground floor room, lovely breakfast and had pretty much every type of food you could think of. Can’t fault this place and would definitely stay again.
We had a lovely stay, our room was huge and so was the bed. The car park was just around the corner so just a short walk with the luggage. The breakfast was lovely as were all the staff. We would definitely stay again.
