Tucked away just off the busy Wyle Cop and therefore instantly accessible to the wonderful offerings of Shrewsbury, Darwin's Townhouse is comfortable, clean and quiet. And when I say comfortable, the bed is great, had a brilliant night's sleep. We didn't stay for breakfast so I can't comment on that, but have heard good things so we'll save that for next time!

We had a lovely stay, our room was huge and so was the bed. The car park was just around the corner so just a short walk with the luggage. The breakfast was lovely as were all the staff. We would definitely stay again.
