Lion & Pheasant Hotel

About Lion & Pheasant Hotel

The Lion & Pheasant occupies a former coaching inn on Wyle Cop, one of Shrewsbury's steepest and most historic streets, running down towards the English Bridge and the River Severn. The building's Georgian frontage hides a warren of individually decorated bedrooms, several with river views and exposed beams from the building's earlier life.

Downstairs, the restaurant and bar have built a strong local reputation for seasonal cooking using Shropshire produce, and the ground-floor rooms retain flagstone floors and open fires that suit the building's age. Being inside the Severn loop, the hotel is within a few minutes' walk of the castle, the Square and the main shopping streets.

It suits couples and short-break visitors wanting to be squarely in the middle of the action, with everything Shrewsbury's centre offers reachable on foot rather than by car.
