The Old Orleton Inn

“Thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. Staff so accommodating, delicious breakfast, clean and very comfortable room.”

Arrived just after 10am, hoping to drop off our bags. Staff took bags to room and room was made up quickly for us. Unfortunately didn’t get to have an evening meal but their reputation is that it would have been delicious too. Wouldn’t hesitate to stay again.

“A hidden gem.”

My friend and I stayed at the Old Orleton Inn on a Saturday night because my bathroom and kitchen were out of action due to remodelling and we discovered a real gem. Sophie and David were really welcoming and accommodating (giving me green tea in my room instead of breakfast tea). The little touches like the complimentary pack of little chocolates and quality biscuits and bottles of locally sourced water, added a touch of luxury. The beds were comfortable and the whole place quaint and cosy. The food provided by Craig, the chef, was excellent (worth a visit in its own even if you weren’t staying the night). A good evening menu and a very hearty breakfast. As the only room vacant was facing the road I was worried that it may have been noisy, but I didn’t need to worry, as the glazing of the windows made it quiet. The proximity to Shrewsbury and Telford was convenient too. The only thing I would say (why it hasn’t got 5 stars, nit picking I know 🤪) is that our room had a step up into the bathroom which might not suit anyone with mobility issues, but I know they have many other rooms without this feature. The room rate was also reasonable compared to other properties in the area. Definitely value for money. In all we really enjoyed our stay and would recommend it. Thank you Sophie, David and Craig.

“Lovely inn. Well worth the stay”

We stayed here on 4th March as our reservations had been cancelled where we originally booked. Host was lovely and the room delightful. Breakfast was fab and made to order.

We stayed here on 4th March as our reservations had been cancelled where we originally booked. Host was lovely and the room delightful. Breakfast was fab and made to order. Only criticism is the need for a shower curtain or screen in the bathroom. But that’s a minor. They even had flannels in the cabinet which is extremely rare. Beautiful place and just off the motorway. Very conveniently placed

We stayed here Saturday 20/05 Arrived just after 3 check was swift, told our room was on the first floor to the left and the end one no5. We had pre booked this room for the jacuzzi bath and four poster bed which didn’t disappoint. The room was spotlessly clean if a little cramped.. there wasn’t a lot of space between the end of the bed and the chest of drawers .. I had to turn sideways to get past. Nice little touch of coffee machine and tea/ kettle facilities in the room .. no coffee for the machine just hot chocolate pods no milk pods (maybe replenish these when cleaning the room) We reserved a table in the restaurant for 7:30, we arrived 10/15 mins early and was seated our orders for food taken .. sadly due to being busy we waited over 45 minutes for food. I ordered belly pork my partner prawn and salmon salad as the crab and crayfish salad wasn’t available. My fault I didn’t read the menu I got some sort of sweet potato gratin which I don’t eat .. I would however have preferred a choice of potato but as I said my fault I didn’t read the menu. We decided to have a drive after dinner to the iron bridge, returned to our room to try out the jacuzzi bath … ohh my word it was amazing and the bath water was incredibly hot! Yep I was broiled I love a red hot bath and the jets where amazing 🤩 So we settled down to watch a film but couldn’t concentrate as all we could hear was the noise from the downstairs bar.. this went on until 12:20am. When my partner mentioned this at breakfast the waitress said no one had mentioned the noise before and apologised.. Breakfast we was offered a choice of cereals and a full English .. fresh orange was on the table and we had a pot of tea and a cafetière of fresh coffee, again we waited quite a while for food but when it was served it was really good and all locally sourced produce. Check out again swift and we left. The reason I have mentioned the wait for food is because I have an eating disorder and have to eat when I am hungry or it passes, so whilst it’s an issue for me it may not be for others.
