As a regular traveler to mid Wales by Arriva Trains Wales I regularly need a place for an unscheduled stop off in Shrewsbury when I miss the last connection to Aberystwyth, and this is it! A secluded medieval hotel with modern well appointed rooms which are small but comfortable. The bathroom is on the wet room style which is a... More

Wish we could have stayed longer! Warm, friendly welcome and superb room. Rare do you get a stylish, contemporary room which doesn't cost the earth. Be prepared to park on one of main car parks then move car to space outside the hotel after 6 p.m. (parking outside hotel limited to 1 hour between 8.30 - 6.00 mon - sat... More

we had lunch at the Golden Cross, it was taken at a leisurely pace, with good service and excellent food, not a wide menu but enough to give reasonable choice, would like more veggie/gluten free options - we'd certainly go again, although ringing up to book (which is advisable) was a problem, as they are so busy they don't always...

We had a two day stay planned for Shrewsbury. Fortunately for us, I stumbled upon the Golden Cross website after failing to get a room at my first two B & B choices. The Golden Cross's location is much better than my first choices so I'm very grateful that I didn't get rooms elsewhere. It's right in the centre of... More

My husband and i just wanted a night away. I searched for hotels in shrewsbury and the Golden cross came up. I phoned and spoke to the owners who were very relaxed and seemed lovely. We arrived at 12 and were able to check in straight away which was great. The restaurant was very busy so we booked a table... More

I booked a room at this hotel for my fiance's birthday. I absoutely adored this inn the first time we popped in for a drink several months ago. So full of character, warm and cosy. I was so pleased to find the rooms were just as impresive. I booked a standard double room however, although small; it just made it... More

The Golden Cross was great for our annual friends Christmas meal meet up - warm, cosy, welcoming and fantastic food. We were even half an hour late, and they were immensely accommodating and served our gorgeous three course meal with a smile. Reasonable prices are a great bonus too!

We arrived late for lunch on a very busy Saturday lunchtime before Christmas. Could have easily turned us away and we wouldn't have been offended as they were so busy. We were welcomed and given lovely food - served by knowledgeable and helpful staff and went away amazed that these lovely places do still exist. We had looked in earlier... More

We had one night at The Golden Cross in Shrewsbury and would have happily stayed for many more. The super kingsize room was really clean and comfortable and the shower room was enormous. The owners' personalities are really reflected in the decor which is quirky and may not suit everyone. It was refreshing to have one off rooms and an... More
