We would definitely stay at the Loopy Shrew again. Great value for money. Our room and bathroom were very clean, quiet and comfortable. We heard nothing from the pub below. The location is great, with very short walks to beautiful areas of town. There was a lovely array of breakfast choices included for free with the room charge; we had vegetarian eggs Benedict, coffee/tea & juice. Our main suggestion is to provide a standing fan on warmer evenings. Also, the comfy duvet was just too hot so a plain sheet would have been great.

Overpriced Hotel

Rooms described as Boutique, but I found nothing special about my room. The bathroom was small and claustrophobic. The inclusive breakfast was excellent. Parking is very expensive and the car park local to the hotel is a max 2 hour stay

Decent, but not a seamless

Decor is nice, location is good. Loopy Shrew is a full-on bar so if you want to get to sleep before midnight on a weekend, you might struggle here. Matress was very comfy, drains a bit smelly in the bathroom. Breakfast was good, but staff seemed a little rushed. Check out was confusing, due to an issue on their / Expedia's booking system they temporarily spooked us into thinking we hadn't paid, when we most definitely had. We got a great deal, so overall are happy... had it been full price - not sure we would have been.

Clean Comfy, Good service, fair price

Very nice hotel comfy and clean staff were accommodating the breakfast in the morning was very good. One thing I’d note is use the ear plugs left on the glass jar next to the bed, the high street can get busy in the early hours.

The bedding smelt musty / greasy. Noisy music from the bar below the room was very disruptive. Noise from other residents was disruptive. Bathroom tiling around bath shower was badly maintained / dirty. Bathroom door had dropped and was badly scraping on the floor. Communal areas / stairs are very scruffy. Coffee at breakfast was undrinkable.

Alot of noise very early on

We arrived and had to wait quite a while for someone to acknowledge us, once they did the young girl was very polite and we managed to book in early. The darwin room was smaller than expected but clean and generally nice. Breakfast was nice and they accommodated my request for a tailor made breakfast. The downside there are only bed side and a dressing table light which dont light the room hardly at all. The hot water tap in the bathroom sink is enough to scald you and the toilet had water running all night. The even worse bit was the bin wagon at 4 a.m which went up and down the street, followed by an early morning delivery at 5.30 a.m somewhere very close as the noise and banging was terrible. This meant we had no sleep 4 a.m I complained to management and was told i had come to a hotel in the town centre and should expect noise and had no other complaints ! This i know is not true as i have since looked further on trip advisor and seen several ! Whilst I acknowledge i am staying in a busy town centre and there will be noise i hadnt anticipated a bin wagon at that ridiculous time, this isnt the hotels fault but you should be made aware of this when booking as it will be a weekly occurance. So overall a disappointing stay.

Not what the reviews implied

Really not what I was expecting. It started off poorly when the bouncers tried to stop me getting into the loopy shrew because I had a bag, once I was finally in it was so loud with music that it took 10 minutes for them to get to me. The room itself was nice enough on the face of it, but the music was so loud until about 1am. The toilet was near impossible to flush, taking 10 or so attempts each time, as well as the seat being damaged. You also had to duck super low in order to actually get to it in the first place. The blind in the bathroom wouldn’t go down, and the window to the Main Street was directly opposite shower so I couldn’t even take a shower without flashing the world. Lastly, a fire alarm went off around midnight, we got out and waited but no one bothered to tell us what was going on or apologise.
