2 Bed Apartment Overlooking the Square Step Out to Shops & Dining

Great location in the centre of town, very comfortable and well appointed. Friendly and attentive host

Nothing

The apartment is very well decorated, spacious and light. The bed we slept in was super comfy and the shower works well. There is a heated towel rail in the bathroom to dry your towels, though with the hot weather we didn't need to use it. We were pleased to find a large fridge and a freezer as we do prepare a lot of our own food and need to freeze down cool packs for the cool bag when we make up a picnic for a day out. Some places only provide a fridge so the freezer was a bonus. Cara provided us with ample information for places to eat and visit round about which is useful for anyone who doesn't know Shrewsbury. I liked the fact that there was hand soap, washing up liquid, dishwasher tablets, cling film, foil, kitchen roll and toilet rolls there to use - so no need to bring your own. There is also tea, coffee and sugar in the cupboard and some satchets of milk in the fridge to start you off. Don't be put off by the lack of parking - there is a designated loading bay opposite for dropping of your luggage. The car parks by the station and prison museum are for overnight and long stay at a reasonable price. They are not too far away and had plenty of spaces. There is a short cut passage way from just below the castle that takes you over the railway footbridge and straight there. Cara and her husband are so helpful and made sure we had a good stay.

There was nothing we didn't like and would love to stay there again in the future. However, just so other people are aware the stairs might be a problem for some with a lot of heavy luggage and being in the centre of town it can be quite noisy at times but quietens down at night, so no problem sleeping. The central location and beautiful apartment far outweigh these disadvantages. We had not appreciated on booking that there is no dining table, not a big problem as the breakfast bar is fine for 2 people. If I were to make any suggestions for improvement it would be to provide a hand towel and two pillows for each person (we pinched one off the spare bed) and an information book that contains the manuals for the appliances and TV and any useful information in paper form to refer to easily. We couldn't work out the microwave but after a phone call to Cara her husband appeared at the door within minutes with another one and swapped it over. We couldn't find our way around the TV either and as others have said it does buffer a lot. We watched TV through my laptop connected to my mobile hotspot which worked fine. However, nothing spoilt the holiday for us.

Exactly as instructed, very straight forward

Nothing!

Great location right on the market square. The apartment is beautifully decorated and very spacious. It was clean and well equipped. The owners were really helpful and provided lots of information about Shrewsbury and things to do there.

No terrestrial TV but there is a smart TV with lots of options.
