Where to Stay in Shropshire: Best Hotels and B&Bs

By The Shropshire Pages team·17 June 2026

Boutique hotels, country house retreats and welcoming B&Bs — the best places to stay across Shropshire.

Whether you want a boutique town base or a country retreat, Shropshire has somewhere special to stay. These are among the highest-rated places in the county.

Country house and boutique hotels

Pen-y-Dyffryn near Oswestry and Old Downton Lodge near Ludlow are romantic country retreats, while Fishmore Hall (with its boutique spa) and Goldstone Hall near Market Drayton are perfect for a special occasion. The Hundred House near Telford is a quirky, much-loved favourite.

In the towns

For a town base, The Townhouse Ludlow, Sebastians in Oswestry, the Castle Hotel in Bishops Castle and Shrewsbury's St Nicholas Boutique Hotel are all excellent.

Welcoming B&Bs and inns

Shrewsbury Rooms and Heritage View Guest House in Ironbridge are top-rated B&Bs, while The Crown Inn at Wentnor, the White Horse Inn at Clun and the riverside Charlton Arms at Ludlow offer rooms with real character.
