The Catherine of Aragon Suite. Shrewbury |

Ironbridge |

The Library House. If independent reviews are to be taken as gospel, then this 3-room guest house might just be one of the best bed & breakfasts in England. Dating from the Georgian period, the furnishings and ambience will almost certainly appeal to every heritage traveller. TripAdvisor |

Walford Court. Most likely built as a courthouse, this lovely building could only be found in England – a part timber-frame structure that has found its most comfortable way to sit during its 500-year existence. Indeed, the grounds are thought to contain an ancient motte & bailey which, in itself, is sited on a prehistoric burial mound. It offers bed & breakfast accommodation in a setting of which only the most unromantic would disapprove. TripAdvisor |

|
Dinham Hall. The furnishings and styling to be found throughout much of Dinham Hall is of a distinctly Georgian flavour. This, though, is no surprise given that it was constructed in 1792 during the reign of George III. LateRooms |

The Fox Inn. There are only seven guest rooms available at this famous old Much Wenlock coaching inn – something that will please those who prefer to avoid larger establishments. Dating from the 1500’s and rightly Grade-II listed, it provides an excellent option for those seeking to explore the industrial heritage of the area, including the famous Ironbridge Gorge which is within easy reach.

If you believe there is a hotel or inn of historic importance we’ve missed from our Shropshire section, please let us know. We feature all types of accommodation from independent boutique hotels, old coaching inns, rural pubs offering rooms, country house hotels and more. These should offer a high standard of hospitality to the visitor and be of architectural or heritage merit - those known to have entertained famous figures from centuries-gone-by are of the highest importance, but all pre-Victorian period property is of interest to us. |
