The Castle Hotel - A historic coaching inn with panoramic garden views, pet-friendly accommodations, and locally sourced dining
The Castle Hotel, a 4-star historic coaching inn, occupies a quiet hilltop location in Bishop's Castle with far-reaching views of the Shropshire Hills and Welsh Borders. The property features 13 individually styled en-suite rooms spread over two floors, each equipped with free WiFi, sound-insulated walls, and complimentary bottled water. Some rooms offer views of the town or surrounding hills, while others overlook the hotel's terraced gardens. Chefs Michelle Davies and Lloyd Payne prepare locally sourced dishes, including lamb and wild mushroom shepherd's pie and ale-battered haddock, served in the oak-paneled restaurant or three bars. A continental breakfast is available each morning at The Castle Hotel, featuring options like crushed avocado on granary toast and homemade pancakes. The outdoor terrace, shaded by vine-covered arbors, provides seating for over 50 guests and overlooks the Shropshire Hills. Dogs stay free of charge and are welcome in the bar areas, with complimentary sausages available upon request.
