An late change of plan saw us book the Drapers Hall on the day of arrival for two nights, without really knowing what to expect. But what we didn't really expect was a place so welcoming, with such wonderful character, history and style, together with a host, Miriam, who greeted us with genuine warmth and charm. Drapers Hall really is a lovely place to stay. We were immediately delighted with our choice of where to stay in Shrewsbury, with cosy rooms and a very comfortable bed. Breakfast was excellent and the staff all helpful and smiling. The bar in the evening was very nice, well stocked and even had a local real ale on draft. The location of Drapers Hall is perfect for exploring the historic town of Shrewsbury and we highly recommend it. Rooms: 5 Service: 5 Location: 5 Hotel highlights: Romantic, Quiet
