I only booked for one night to break our journey to North Wales from London, so my expectations were not that high, I just wanted a bed for the night.
The location was within walking distance from Shrewsbury station, down a small alley off the main shopping street. I didn't realise it would get quite noisy, and there was actually a band playing in the pub the night of our stay - our room was directly above it! So we went to bed late! For some this could've been a disaster, but saw the funny side and at least the band were playing songs I liked, and I travelled with ear plugs so did manage to get to sleep. The room was well equipped, comfortable & clean besides this.
I had booked breakfast but due to not realising what time it would start from and having to be on an early train, actually couldn't stay for it. To compensate the lady who checked us in kindly offered to make us lunch instead, so we had some sandwiches, nuts, crisps and snacks from the bar to take with us, which I appreciated, as I was travelling with my young son.
We read the reviews and knew it was above a lively pub, and while there was noise as we were checked in Steve and Louis let us know they’d do their best to have the noise level lower by around 11pm, and they did. The pub and restaurant look lovely but we didn’t try this time around because we had previous plans and reservations. Interested to try next time. The room was lovely, quaint and historic, the bathroom was spacious and clean. We would definitely recommend (please know there’s loud noise possible but it dies out later so it was perfect for us ) and we would definitely stay again! Absolutely stellar service!
A truly wonderful hotel with amazing facilities, comfortable rooms, 2 lovely bars/restaurants and a first-class spa! The staff at this hotel are truly wonderful and an asset to the hotel!
I stayed at the hotel to be close to a venue I needed to be the next day.
The hotel was clean and staff were available and friendly.
Free parking is available.
The hotel is very near a co op supermarket and petrol station. There is a pub restaurent next door the Squrriel which uses taste card. If you plan to eat there make a reservation and eat early.
The town is nearby but would be a bit of a walk and I didn't see any bus stops for local transport links. The town of Ludlow is only a few minutes and free parking available after 6 pm behind town square. Again could be a good idea to book a table if you need dinner.
This is a good Travelodge to stay at.
The Feathers is well located in the centre of Ludlow and is an old building that is full of charm. However, this also means that it is a bit of a rabbit warren inside, making it challenging to find your way around the long, branching corridors - a definite nightmare in event of a fire.
The carpark was full when we arrived, despite it being much larger than I expected, but there was a council carpark behind the hotel and only a short walk away, which was free from 6pm to 8am, which is very convenient.
Our bed was large, clean and comfortable and the room was well resourced: tea and coffee making facilities with a wide range of teas and milks; complimentary canned water in the mini fridge; iron and ironing board; plenty of sockets including USB, at the bedside and a variety of products in the bathroom, though no toothpaste which was the one thing we'd forgotten to pack! One of the spoons was dirty, hence only 4 stars for cleanliness. The guest wifi was strong and easy to access.
We didn't have time to use the reception areas downstairs, but they looked beautifully presented and were full of character, offering a very attractive space to have a drink or meal.
Staff at reception were pleasant and professional.
Hotel and room where clean, friendly staff, Breakfast was ok, nothing special. The bed was a little hard for my liking and the room was very hot. The location is ideal for access to the International centre.
Overall wasnt a great stay, ill keep it short and sweet and list positives and negatives rather than go into detail
Positives - All staff friendly and helpful, nice location, if you can book a deluxe room so you get a first floor room with outside table and chairs and a view of the golf course. Treatment and spa faciltes were good though theres no jaqoozi. Comfy bed!
Negatives - Organisation, i had spa day and lunch, it wasnt explained about where lunch was or what was included i had to ask all the questions. I wasnt told the £15 limit for lunch so i went over and they then expected me to pay the difference but they agreed it was unfair. Room cleanliness, bathroom wasnt great, nail clippings on floor and 100’s of small hairs all around the bath after someones shave! Room was very warm and it wasnt even that hot outside, take a fan in hot weather! Food prices very high for what you get, nothing special! Took 30 mins to get my drink at dinner and 65 mins to get my burger and chips, apparantly staff were off sick and there was a new bar man who delayed drinks
I wouldnt go back for the price you have to pay and what you get
ผผู้เข้าพักNo choice of cooked breakfast , no room service on first day and had to ask for clean towels, no shower gel- shampoo as advertised, dangerous exit on to highway - needs mirrors, faulty light switch for bathroom which was replaced after 2 days
ผผู้เข้าพักExcellent stay.

Enjoyed the picnic basket breakfasts and dinner the restaurant.
I will definitely stay here again!
