The Bar

The visitor to Shropshire is spoilt for choice when it comes to choosing his tipple. Bishops Castle is blessed with The Three Tuns Brewery (The oldest licenced brewery in the country est: 1642) and several more within a few short miles. And at The Castle Hotel we stock a representative sample of these for your delectation. The town itself hosts a fantastic beer festival each year, when out come the marquees and barbecues, and joy is in the air.

We’re not just lovers of the amber nectar however – we also keep an extensive wine cellar, sourced mainly from our marvellous wine merchant, Tanners of Shrewsbury. But it would be a lie to tell you we are blessed with a plethora of local vineyards. (Well there are one or two actually).

The three bar areas range from a cosy wood panelled room, to the recently extended old public bar, which is light and airy. The bars also contain a selection of pub games such as Dominoes, Shut the Box, Darts and many others. This bar also leads onto a pretty paved terrace area (with water feature) that then leads up some steps to the fantastic beer garden.

Here you can settle down round the fish-pond and grapevines, with a cooling drink and some great value food, and scour the surrounding hills for invading Celts, just like the old Bishop Of Hereford, the first inhabitant of The Castle at Bishops Castle.

“Highly recommended by friends the Hotel did not disappoint. charming and helpful staff, delicious food and drink and comfortable room made this a very pleasant overnight stay on our Journey.”

This is a wonderful place to enjoy if you’re in Bishop’s Castle. We called in for coffee and cake on the Saturday and returned for Sunday lunch the next day. Fantastic service, excellent food and drink and a really nice atmosphere.

We had 2 specifications a walk in shower and a large bed bigger than a double! The Castle Hotel could meet both requirements! The room was large and well ventilated ,it was very hot, not anyone s fault. What there was an outside seating area close to our room.
The hotel is very dog friendly which we didn t mind but may not suit everyone.
The hotel is very old, lots of changes of level and very atmospheric. The Dining Room has wooden panelling , I expected Mrs Bennett to appear.
The cooking is excellent . We drank excellent local wine from the nearby winery, local beer was available. I suspect the ice cream was also local.
A daily what s on sheet was provided at breakfast , a nice touch to encourage local visits.

The Castle Hotel is a very well managed hotel. Staff are well trained (and really pleasant and helpful) and everything was very efficient. This was a one night stay as we were cycle touring ; our bikes were safely stored and we were upgraded to a better room which was spacious and comfortable and really tastefully decorated. The only minor disadvantage was the proximity of the Town Hall clock which strikes every 15 minutes night and day - we had to close the window. The food in the restaurant is good, and well
priced, although for us the portions were too large. Breakfast was fine. Check in and checkout times are generous (3pm and 11am respectively) The garden is a very pretty and relaxing space and there is a guest terrace.
We would have no hesitation in returning.
