. The beds were very comfortable, and we actually managed to view the smart TV. a first for us as we are golden oldies and technophobes! It was wonderful to have a washer/drier - a real bonus. Sadly the road outside is very noisy, and we were a little cold in the flat. But other than that we were fine. It is very kind of the owners to pay for the week's parking. The flat is very convenient for walking into the centre of Shrewsbury, and we caught a bus to Attingham Park just up the road, so an ideal location.

Very comfortable.. Loved the.bed in main bedroom. Great shower. 2 fans provided which were much appreciated . Might benefit from secondary glazing to front, as road noise quite noticeable at times. Could do with mirror near a power socket for drying hair etc. Only 10/15 minute walk to town. Riverside walks even less. Would stay here again.

Had a lovely stay with friends..few things negative things to point out, not sure if the owner is aware of...the bathroom bin has no interior bucket so is unusable, chair in the lounge had a broken leg which had been pushed back into place but came out straight away when we moved the chair slightly to view tv, toilet roll holder broken, no mirror in either bedroom. This said we did have a great time and love Shrewsbury, the few issues need addressing.
