We stayed with our Grandaughter over Easter and could not fault the experience. Staff were friendly and very helpful. The food was excellent, we booked the restaurant for evening meals and was not tempted to try anywhere else. We stayed in the family room and was pleasantly suprised at the space and outlook, we had a lovely view of the... More

We went to The Shakespeare for a weekend in Ironbridge with 2 small children. We chose the inn based on the good reviews here, and overall we encountered a similar experience. The service was excellent, and the family room (room 4) was perfect for our needs: clean and comfortable. Like other reviewers have mentioned there is noise from the bar... More

I booked a room at the Shakespeare last minute without doing much research. Upon arrival we were so pleasantly surprised with the rooms and location we instantly asked about taking a 2nd night. The management juggled existing bookings to accommodate us and also rearranged table bookings in restaurant to find us a table. Very impressed with welcome and service. Everyone... More

We booked a for a 60th birthday party in the conservatory, but because the size of our party had dropped by two they moved us in to the main pub. This in our opinion felt very cramped for 20 people. Apart from this initial mix up we thought the food was excellent and very good value for money. The service... More

Beatifully located in a beautiful area. Coalport museum and Victorian town easily walkable. The accommodation was fine although floor could do with a good hoover. Generous coffee/tea/milk supplies. Good shower with good pressure and hot water. Steps up to first floor room were wet and slippery and rather steep and dark. Breakfast plentiful but they use incredibly cheap ingredients, definitely... More

We chose the Shakespeare because of the proximity to the sights and museums in the area, some within walking distance. The inn turned out to be a really good find. The accommodation was very good, clean and comfortable. There was a good choice for breakfast and there was a wide selection on offer for evening meals. The bar was busy... More

The restaurant was very busy at the time of our visit. All tables were reserved but we were squeezed in at about 6.15 although the table wasn't booked until 7.45! Plenty of time for us to have a meal. I opted for the pan fired chicken with a plum and cranberry sauce. I thought the sauce was straight out of... More

We have just returned from a relaxing break at The Shakespeare Inn and have been delighted by our choice of accommodation. The room was clean and comfortable, well thought-out (an extra mirror near an electric socket for the hairdryer for example) and a generous allocation of tea, coffee, hot chocolate and bathroom 'freebies'. The location is perfect, quiet, rural, yet... More

Booked the family room for three nights as I was travelling with a mate and it wasn't easy to find a twin in the area. For our purposes it was fine - the lower bunk is okay once you're lying down. But be warned: if you are planning to take children to this room on a Friday or Saturday they... More
