The Crown Country Inn was awarded 2 AA Rosettes for the quality of their food in October 2006 and every year since. We have twice won "Best Restaurant" at the Deliciously Shropshire Good Eating awards. The restaurant was also "highly commended" at the Heart of England "Food and Drink Excellence" awards in the "Best Restaurant using Local Produce" category.

We are the only pub in Shropshire to be featured in the GastroPub Cookbook by Diana Henry, who called the Crown "a shrine to local food producers and farmers."

We are also featured in the Real Ale Pub Guide, the Michelin Eating Out in Pubs Guide, the AA Pub Guide, the AA Bed and Breakfast Guide and Which Good Food Guide.

Some of our customer comments....

"Simply the Best"

A wonderful period hotel, set in a peaceful country location. Lovely period features enhance the atmosphere and the accommodation at the rear was set by some lovely quiet gardens. The rooms were clean, tidy and comfortable, and provided with more than what you might expect at a B&B. The service was quiet, relaxed, informal and without fuss. Very professional, and the food was top notch (when the cook is in the Michelin Guide and a Masterchef, well what else could you expect?)

"Cosy Quiet Getaway"

One of the warmest welcomes we have ever had!

A very pleasant owner, always helpful and some very attentive staff too (not that easy to find these days!)

The Crown is a real gem, with some interesting places nearby and some beautiful walks.

Which is just as well, you'll need to work up an appetite because the food is very good indeed! All the food on the menu is locally sourced and there is also a good selection of local beers/ ciders to keep you going back for more (we certainly are!)

Highly recommended.

"Escape from the Hustle and Bustle!"

We only stayed one night but wished we could have stayed longer as it was so relaxing. The owners were extremely welcoming,the food was first class. In a lovely part of the country, recommend visiting Ludlow,Much Wenlock and Church Stretton all very pretty!

"A Gem"

We have stayed at the Crown Country Inn twice. Our last visit was Valentine's weekend last year, and we have booked again for this year. All food served is of an exceptionally high standard, and the breakfast will set you up for the day. Only three bedrooms which are quaint and very comfortable. The bar area has open fires, which are very welcome in the winter. The staff are very pleasant, and helpful. We can't wait to go back.
