Brownhill House

Lovely setting for what is becoming a rarity in a real B&B. Our hosts, Yolanda and Roger treated us as part of the family and looked after us really well. We were invited to look at what I would describe as a showcase garden, and felt as if we were in a manor park! The breakfast was copious and as interesting as you like, with a very varied menu, including local produce and good home cooking. It was a pleasure to have met such a couple who are kind and generous characters, that have a wealth of knowledge and experiences!

This is exactly the sort of experience I seek when visiting the UK. It's an "only in England" experience. From the moment I arrived until the moment I left I was absolutely enraptured. The proprietors ran out to greet me to show me a better, safer place to park my motorcycle. They checked me in, showed me to my room, and have me the rundown on local dining options. My room was quiet and comfortable. The bathroom had an ENORMOUS tub. Their gardens, which are clearly a labor of love, are astounding! Another plus for gearheads like me is that they are enthusiasts of unusual sports cars, including building kit cars (e.g., Caterham 7), and serve in a leadership role for a local car club, and also serve as a local historian for their area of the Welsh Marches. Such energy! More flexible around what is included in a full English breakfast than I've ever experienced. Downsides? Well, the stairs are steep. And, if your preference is for the vanilla experience of a Holiday Inn, this probably isn't for you. If on the other hand, you travel to meet people and learn new things, especially if you have any appreciation for any of what I've described, this might be just the experience you're seeking. I, for one, plan to come back.

Lovely breakfast and friendly host

The hosts were so very welcoming and helpful in acqainting us with the area.

The room was clean and comfortable. The house has a garden which was beautiful and a perfect place to enjoy the surroundings. The host was welcoming, friendly, and helpful.

I rarely leave negative reviews, but my stay at Brownhill House was so disappointing that I feel a responsibility to warn others. Even before arrival, the communication was poor. I emailed twice about my vegan dietary needs (which their website says they can cater for) and received either no reply or answers that ignored my questions. Check‑in was the worst I’ve experienced. When I asked again about vegan options, the host, Yoland, made several rude comments, including “We don’t have plastic bread,” “I thought you’d bring your own,” and “You ask strange questions.” She also emphasised that they use “loads of butter and drippings,” saying oil “won’t be nice.” I wasn’t shown where breakfast was served, just taken to my room. The bins had no bags, and the bathroom bin contained used tissues. Breakfast on the first morning was very small, with warm juice, and I felt too uncomfortable to ask about ingredients. The second morning, with a regular guest present, the breakfast was noticeably larger and the juice cold. Conversations at breakfast were pleasant, but the inconsistency was obvious. The building itself is charming, with a cosy room, deep bath, books, and thoughtful extras. Check‑out was fine. However, none of this outweighs the unacceptable check‑in and dismissive attitude toward dietary needs. If you value basic courtesy and respectful communication, I strongly recommend staying elsewhere. Had to largely reduce review due to character 1500 limit

We enjoyed chatting with the owners. The breakfast was very good. The garden was great to walk around.

The room was warm and cozy, comfortable beds and a tasty breakfast. Thank you.

We enjoyed our stay very much.

Yoland is an excellent host and she made us feel very welcome. It is a fairly quiet area in a small village with other areas accessible. Beautiful gardens and picturesque scenery.

The property had amazing gardens. The house itself was a bit dated, not that we minded, but it had everything we needed and the host was so helpful. Lovely breakfasts with home made jam went down a treat

Stayed for one night in the double room. Property is quirky yet basic and clean

Nice little town hotel, friendly people, ready to accommodate my requests. Beautiful areas around and nice town.

If you like a real log fire on a cold night, cosy and clean accommodation, charming hosts and a good hearty breakfast, this is the place for you! Nothing was too much trouble and it was nice to get a real feel and understanding of the local area. The garden is a real treat!

Yoland is an amazing host, she made sure I was comfortable throughout my stay at her B&B. Absolutely would recommend if you want good friendly service and a quiet place to stay near Shrewsbury .

Check in stopped at 20:00 … after 20 minutes driving up and down unlit country lanes to eventually find the place… I was refused access as I were past the 20:00 check in time. A very rude, condescending and disrespectful attitude from the property owner … disgusting

Lovely stay. Yolanda is a wonderful host. Room was cosy and the breakfast great. Thank you

Welcomed my familly so well i will probably book it again for future visits ! Thank you

We really enjoyed the warm, homely hospitality at this wonderfully traditional B & B. Our bed was super comfortable. The Wif-fi was excellent. In the morning Yolande cooked our breakfast as we chatted. Absolutely delicious. Pancakes to die for. Recommend.
