Overall Ratings & Reviews Darwin's Townhouse

Spotlessly clean, unique property in the centre, near the river and all amenities with lots if extras

Great stay at Darwin Townhouse. We stayed in one of the garden rooms which was lovely. It had all the amenities needed eg hair dryer, iron, kettle etc. crisp clean sheets and comfy bed. The garden was lovely with seating areas for the nice weather. We bought a bottle of wine from the nearby wine shop and sat on in the garden one night. The breakfast was lovely and plentiful, as was the food at the Loopy Shrew (discounted if you stay in their property). Staff were lovey. The building is just a minutes walk away from one of the main streets but far enough away for a peaceful stay. Would recommend a stay here and would love to bring the family back here to visit the lovely town of Shrewsbury.

The staff at reception and breakfast were very friendly and helpful. The breakfast was very good, too. Location is convenient. Our only wish would be that the room was a little bit larger. It was clean with good amenities: just a little cramped for two people and luggage. It’s a nice place to stay in Shrewsbury.

Excellent stay can't fault it

My second time in the Darwin Town House and location wise it's great. I am a huge fan of Shrewsbury and visit often. This quirky hotel is a slice of history and homage to CD himself. The room was pretty small, cosy so would not ideally want to stay in this room again but there are others which are not in the main building which would I would request. The honesty bar is cute and the staff are super. Totally recommend the breakfast, made to order and super location to start the day in the garden room.

Everything about darwins townhouse was superb. Rooms lovely, sevice lovely, especially from the young girl serving us at breakfast (blonde ponytail) sorry, didnt get her name. The honesty bar is also a lovely touch. Thankyou, we will be booking again.

Love this place! Definitely going to return

Stayed in a single first floor garden room for one night. I have stayed here before and the rooms are always clean and well stocked with coffee bags and tea, and the bathroom toiletries are lovely. The garden rooms are quiet as they are at the rear of the property, so once you’re in your room you should get a reasonable nights sleep. Room 18 has French windows so you can open them and relax in your armchair with a book and cup of tea. Breakfast is good and there’s a lot of choice whether you’re vegan, vegetarian or omnivorous. I would heartily recommend Darwin’s if you’re planning on staying in Shrewsbury.

Our second stay this year and it was just as lovely. The breakfast is amazing and the living room area is such a perk!

Fantastic property with clean, comfortable room and very friendly and helpful staff. The breakfast was outstanding.

We had a lovely stay.,Friendly, relaxed atmosphere. Room was cosy and well designed and quiet. Great place to explore the town . Will come again, Would highly recommend .

What a super hotel. Never stayed in an octagonal room before but it gave the feeling of space. Nicely furnished throughout with plenty of nods to Darwin. Comfortable bed. Breakfast was superb, both for selection of options and friendliness of staff. I haven't had better anywhere (including in a lot of foreign travel!). One small and insignificant point: Our bed/room was adorned with 6 pillows and 10 cushions of varying sizes. Possibly excessive!

What a wonderful find the staff were friendly, helpful and extremely efficient

fantastic B&B is probably say the best i’ve ever stayed in never seen a breakfast menu with so much choice highly recommend already booked my next visit

Beautiful place - amazing staff - lots of intricate details that make it a wonderful stay. Can’t speak highly enough about it.

Homely yet modern feel

Really enjoyable. Nothing was too much trouble. Great room and windy breakfast. Hope to stay again in the future.

Lovely boutique bed and breakfast, bright comfortable large room. All amenities you could need, friendly staff, excellent breakfast. Meets to cross section between hotel and bed and breakfast, would return for sure!

Lovely overnight stay in Shrewsbury! Loved the style of the property and service was great on arrival, loved the communal areas and honesty bar, while room was characterful, comfortable and clean. Would highly recommend and would definitely stay again!

Lovely hotel, clean, friendly staff, beautiful room
