About The Castle Hotel
Market Square in Bishops Castle sits at the heart of a small hill-town surrounded by the Shropshire countryside, and The Castle Hotel occupies a historic spot right on it. The setting suits walkers and cyclists, with footpaths and quiet lanes radiating out into the hills, and fishing available nearby for those who prefer the rivers to the ridgetops.
The hotel has 12 rooms, including family rooms and a bridal suite, all with en-suite bathrooms. Breakfast is served each morning, with a restaurant, bar and snack bar covering the rest of the day, plus packed lunches for anyone heading out walking. A garden, picnic area and outdoor seating give guests space to sit outside, while free WiFi and laundry service take care of practical needs. Meeting rooms and wedding facilities mean the hotel also caters to groups and celebrations, not just overnight stays.
Pets are welcome, and free on-site parking makes it an easy base for exploring the town and surrounding countryside. There are pubs and restaurants nearby for evenings out, and plenty of entertainment within reach of the square, so guests are rarely short of somewhere to go after a day outdoors.
