What guests think
Reviews of The Castle Hotel highlight welcoming, attentive staff and widely praised dining and breakfasts, with many travelers impressed by the relaxed atmosphere and well kept bar that make stays feel easy, enjoyable, and well cared for.
Rooms are often described as clean, comfortable, and sometimes spacious or characterful, with some offering lovely views. The location is scenic and handy for walks in the Shropshire Hills, and the hotel is notably dog friendly. Suited to those wanting a restful base rather than a full service resort.

Facilities
Lively bar with well kept ales and multiple bar areas; gardens and patio provide pleasant views, though one stay coincided with renovation that limited outdoor seating. Strong dog friendly setup, with breakfast sausages for pets noted by multiple guests.

Stayed for a long weekend with a partner and dog. Staff were super friendly and attentive. Breakfast was delicious and provided daily walks and info which was really helpful! Beautiful spot and super dog friendly, with dog washing facilities as well as complimentary sausage for your dog at breakfast and doggy box in the room on arrival provided towels / dog blankets and bowl. We will definitely stay again!

Great quirky place to stay, staff are excellent and attentive. I would have given 5 stars only the toilet leaked and the shower was faulty. But the rest of it more than made up for those minor things. If you like ales, this is a well kept cellermanship. Walks locally are brilliant and the hotel gets full marks for their enthusiastic info on them.

We enjoyed our 2-night stay. It's a good location for exploring the surrounding Shropshire Hills. The distant views are lovely. Unfortunately, there was some renovation work being carried out on the patio, so we weren't able to sit out to enjoy the best views. There is on-site hotel parking. Our room was comfortable, but we would have preferred not to have a bath in the bedroom, as it restricted the space in the room a bit. The shower was fine. The breakfast was good and the staff were very friendly. We would definitely use this hotel again.

A very enjoyable stay at the Castle Hotel, the food was of a high quality , the rooms to a good standard with an exceptionally comfortable bed. The staff were fantastic and really made us feel welcome. Bishop’s Castle is a very picturesque town but there are few shops of note if you are looking to go antique or curiosity shopping , primarily this is a good base to explore the surrounding area which has some of my favourite places to visit in England .

This was my second stay at this hotel whilst on business with a colleague. The location is great, food was very nice and general service was good - I stayed in room 9 (colleague in room 12) and whilst I appreciate that it was cold/snowing outside the bedroom was very cold. I am a hot sleeper so this is never usually an issue but after trying to turn the radiators on full I ended up resorting to warming the room with the hair dryer! At breakfast my colleague had the same issue and put extra layers on to sleep. I mentioned this at reception during checkout and was told that they think something may have tripped and apologised. Unfortunately, I would find it difficult to book again following this experience.

Two stars for amenities because I went to the bar at 10 o'clock and it was shut. 20 minute rondwalk, to another pub.

We stayed in the comfort suite. With the exception of a slightly strange smell, which was easily rectified, the accommodation exceeded our expectations. We would happily stay there again. Facilities were excellent, towels extremely soft, addition if bath robes were very welcome. The hotel garden had amazing views. Only downside was parking could be a little restricted.
