"Riverbank is a lovely little cottage, comfortable and well appointed."
Perfect location near central Shrewsbury with the riverside garden being so relaxing to sit and enjoy the view. The stairs are a little tricky for anyone a bit wobbly but the bedrooms are brilliant with really comfortable beds and top quality bedding for a great night's sleep. We used a carpark across the river as there is no parking directly outside and the on-street parking nearby is subject to time limits, so we had to keep moving the car, but otherwise perfect.
