“Once a coal yard, now a gastro pub, the ambiance strikes me as spot-on, with friendly staff completing the picture. I found the rooms clean and well-maintained, and that breakfast is indeed as generous as reported. Its location balances a rural feel with practical access to Telford's attractions.”
