“Shrewsbury's Loopy Shrew positions itself smartly above a lively pub, and while the evening music is a definite consideration, they thoughtfully provide earplugs for a quieter sleep. The rooms themselves are a pleasant surprise - clean, comfortable, and well-appointed, with genuinely excellent showers and a breakfast that impresses, particularly the Benedicts and bacon. Its central location makes exploring the town effortless, a real advantage for both business and leisure.”
