Reviews of The Shakespeare Inn Coalport often praise clean, comfortable rooms, friendly staff, and a scenic location for exploring Ironbridge and Coalport, with many enjoying the pub's food when open.
Several guests note that the pub and kitchen close on some midweek days and breakfast is often unavailable. A few guests report slow or patchy Wi-Fi and occasional TV problems. Parking is available but can be tight at busy times, and access via outside steps may challenge those with limited mobility; overall, expect a comfortable pub stay with character in a generally quiet setting.

Great room. Very clean. Had what I wanted in a room. However, for those who are not good at going up steps this is not the property for you, as one has to climb up quite steep outside steps to reach at least two rooms. The fridge in my room was very noisy.

The location is convenient for occasional visits to family members living nearby. Dinner was very good, and I was fortunate not to have to pre-book. On the downside, my car suffered damage (probably from an inconsiderate parker) during my visit, not noted until I had left, so I cannot be entirely sure where it occurred. However, parking bays are not marked. Of course one can't be confident that a poor parker will be honest about any damage, but it leaves an unpleasant taste.

Room and cleanliness was very good. Parking out front available free. Word of caution that on Wednesdays the pub is closed and therefore you have to do self check-in. So look out for a separate email from the pub directly. Access is straight forward, although initially unexpected.

Went to a regatta at Ironbridge. Travelling on my own I felt safe at the accommodation and it was a lovely stay. The food at the pub is amazing and all the staff so friendly and helpful. The room was very cute and had everything that I needed, including a small fridge that was a bonus as it was very hot and kept my water cool. Parking is next to the pub and had no issues. There was a fan in the room that kept the room cool overnight. Def recommend.

Stayed with my husband for an event locally, so one of the nearest hotels to Madeley. Pretty pub which gets quite busy. We stayed in a fab room at the front overlooking the road. We didn't hear any noise though. Quite a large room with tea making facilities/biscuits. Good bed size probably, king, not as comfy as some I've stayed in but ok. Good sized bathroom with separate shower. The pub serves food and we ordered bbq ribs, they did state as we'd not booked a table we would have to eat outside, however, in the end we were able to eat inside the pub. Basic pub grub, but presently nicely. Friendly place, but note that the rooms are at the back of the pub and you have to negotiate a number of steps at the side to enter and exit. Well lit up in the dark, when we got back but unsuitable for the infirm or wheelchair users. You can go through the pub when its open though if you choose too. Ok for us but wouldn't suit everyone, and great if you wanted to tour the local area.

Nice quiet hotel down a country lane. Lots of parking, but was hard to find a space on a Friday night. Luckily someone moved so we were able to park. Room was a nice size with en suite. Tea making facilities were provided. Access to room was to rear of pub off the gardens so didn't have to walk through pub. No breakfast on site so had to find a local place. Evening meal was good

Simple straight forward, pick up keys and enjoy the area. The pub offer some tasty choices and Apple desert ticks the box. Room was large without being too big and with windows front and back plenty of natural light. Heating was just right with an additional portable heater if needed, but didn't need it. They also provide an Iron and Ironing board which is a nice touch. My one niggle was there is no heating in the bathroom, as the weather was mild it's not an issue but come November it might, a heated towel rail would be just enough to take the chill off when then time comes. Out back there is a small play area with swing, seesaw and roundabout (which I had a go to test) Otherwise a very nice setup.

Despite the great reviews, I can only say I was disappointed and the stay was average. I knew the pub was closed on Tuesday when I booked and the access instructions were clear but the room was cold (the radiators were turned off I assume because the pub was closed) and the TV had no channels on (again because the source in the pub was turned off maybe?).

Check in was at a busy bar, and the first person I spoke to told me that someone else would deal with my check-in. So, I was left standing there with my bags with other customers trying to get past me to order drinks - until somebody else turned up. The room was on a terrace next to a children's play area, so it was noisy until the pub part closed. Still, the room was cosy enough. I was told that, when checking out, I could ask the staff present the following morning for an invoice. But, there was nobody there. The place was all locked up. They did however sort me out with an invoice very quickly by email later that day.

Lovely location and setting. Well looked after with very good room amenities. Plenty of towels, TV, mini fridge, good quality tea & coffee. Comfy beds and everything was super clean. Only minor snag for us was lack of wifi password in the room. The whole valley is not a good location for phone reception ! (This was only a snag as we were there the evening the restaurant is closed, otherwise it would have been easier to obtain a password) Over all we would recommend as a place to stay in the Ironbridge Gorge, minutes by car away from all the museums and of course the Iron Bridge, also restaurants, pubs and shops. We would stay here again without hesitation, it's one to remember. A proper find ! Thank you to Brett who was helpful with pre stay info by phone & email and of course the wifi password 😊

The Shakespeare Inn is a great choice for a short stay in Telford or the Ironbridge area. Excellent value for money, great choice of food and drinks. We’ve stayed twice and will stay again

Cosy tradional pub with good selection of food and drink. Rooms have everything needed for short stay and ideal location for walking and visiting Ironbridge.

Dining
Food at the pub is widely praised for taste and value when open. However, the kitchen closes on some days and breakfast is often unavailable, so plan alternatives midweek.

Room was ok, but being a pub, it was disappointing to find on Friday that the bar shut after food service around 8:30pm. Had to walk over a mile in the dark to another pub for a drink. No breakfast offer, so returned to the other pub next morning for that.

Enjoyable stay; good staff; good food; chef tried hard to compensate for lack of conventional breakfast service mid-week. Closure of kitchen for two days per week a problem. Lack of staff for two days per week also a problem. Fire precautions need reviewing - directed to non-existent public phone box and no signal for mobiles.

Great location in tourist spot with bar and restaurant. Disappointed however that they did not serve breakfast and there was no where else immediately nearby.

Nice quiet hotel down a country lane. Lots of parking, but was hard to find a space on a Friday night. Luckily someone moved so we were able to park. Room was a nice size with en suite. Tea making facilities were provided. Access to room was to rear of pub off the gardens so didn't have to walk through pub. No breakfast on site so had to find a local place. Evening meal was good

A lovely find. The team were very friendly and helpful. It was a great location for exploring the area. The room was comfortable and the breakfast was freshly cooked with plenty of options.

Great family room, really large and lots of little details had been considered to make our stay really comfortable. Really loved how the room was accessed straight from the beer garden so the kids could easily go outside and play and we could take a cup of tea outside in the morning. Lots of parking and great location just a short drive from Blists Hill (which has a great playground!) and Iron Bridge. Had an evening meal in the pub and it was great, huge portions and very relaxed. The beer garden and rooms are up some quite steep steps so the only negative would be if you have mobility issues. Great views from the beer garden though! We will definitely return.

Extremely good stay at The Shakespeare Inn, Coalport. Hotel rooms were immaculate with daily housekeeping and lots of little extras to make you feel at home. On the Thursday we dined in the restaurant where we decided to sit outside so we could enjoy our food with a view. Really beautiful place, nice and quiet, will definitely return!
