Mellington Hall Country House Hotel, hotel in Bishops Castle

Mellington Hall Country House Hotel features a garden, shared lounge, a terrace and restaurant in Church Stoke. With free WiFi, this 4-star hotel offers room service and a business centre.

Room was nicely decorated and spacious. The breakfast was amazing and I think one of the best I have ever had in a hotel. I have some allergies which means I have to be careful what I eat, where I stay etc. The hotel was very helpful and accommodating with this and they even tailored the breakfast to my needs! They have a broad selection in general.

The Dragon Hotel, hotel in Bishops Castle

Ideal for Offa's Dyke and Powis Castle, this 17th-century inn is set in the Welsh Borders and offers an indoor pool and free Wi-Fi.

Fabulous location, lovely food and attentive, friendly staff. The only downside was not having a stand-up shower in the room but not a major issue to workaround (there was a handheld one).

    It is perfect for a quiet getaway.

    It is perfect for a quiet getaway. Small but interesting town, with tons of good walks to do all around the area. It is worth going for a visit if only to spend several magical hours inside the wonders of the Poetry Pharmacy - but sshhhhh don't tell anybody! Plenty of good eateries - for fab home-made soup, the Bap (if its their birthday when you go, you get free cake!). In the evening the Tuns pub does excellent food - and beer if that is what you are into!

    Lovely small town. Steep streets.

    Lovely small town. Steep streets. Quiet (at the time we were there, March). Many pubs to choose from. Not many general shops, but lots of places to buy greetings cards. We ate at the Ganges restaurant and The Three Tuns pub, both recommended, but best to book. Very limited places to eat on a Sunday evening.

    Was there on the Date of the Michaelmas Fair which was cancelled because of the passing of the Queen but there were still stalls and traction engines to see. Pubs and restaurants were open so plenty to do and see.

    Great town to wander in.

    Great town to wander in. We went for an 8 mile walk from Bishops castle. The Indian Restaurant and local pubs are to a good standard, we ate at 3 of them. Guided walk by locals every Tuesday and Saturday in the Summer at 6-30pm.

    Stopped for one night but could have stayed longer. The restaurant in the hotel served lovely fresh food. Bishops castle is only a small village but has plenty of history. Look out for the elephants!

    A small town I'm ashamed to say I had never heard of, but which offered a variety of interesting shops and tea rooms and other services. A very good base to explore the surrounding hills and even further afield.

    A beautiful retreat decorated in a lovely boho style. Entry is through a tiny courtyard and glazed sliding doors. It is comfortable and spacious with a well equipped kitchen, including oven and induction hob. Up the staircase is a large attic bedroom with exposed wood beams, large window, and comfy double bed. Situated on the edge of Bishops Castle, there is free parking on site and fabulous views across open countryside. Although only 5 minutes walk to the town centre, the town is set on steep hills.

    The bed was comfortable, the room well thought out and equipped. It's a well maintained Grade II listed property, so no wall or floor is perfectly flat. :-) We were welcomed by Julie who was attentive, but not intrusive. The location at the top end of Bishops Castle main street is peferect and we found on-street parking without difficulty. Breakfast was locally sourced and tasty with a wide offering (including vegetarian options). We'd happily stay there again and recommend to friends.

    Lovely location in the Centre of Bishop's Castle. Gerry was extremely helpful and welcoming. We really appreciated the love and care put into the breakfasts, home made bread and marmalade and locally sourced delicious sausages and bacon. Delicious. Great local recommendations, the Castle Hotel is a very short distance and does an excellent Sunday Roast and good beer too. Gerry couldn't have done more to make us feel welcome and at home

    Gerry was an excellent hostess, thoughtful, generous and kind and nothing was too much trouble. The hotel was welcoming and the accommodation and facilities were very good. Breakfast was excellent and substantial, we did not eat again until late evening. We would thoroughly recommend a stay at this hotel.

    The breakfast was delicious and nothing was too much trouble. There was plenty to choose from including fresh fruit, full cooked breakfast and homemade marmalade and jams. There was homemade cake upon arrival and shortbread which was so tasty and just what we needed following our journey.

    Breakfast not included. Good location on the high street. Parking just around the corner. A good base if you are on a family holiday I would have thought. Bishops Castle was very pleasant, especially the gardens up at the back of the Castle Hotel.

    The novelty of having an entire pub to yourself makes this an unforgettable gateway. Spacious, well equipped yet homely. Dishwashers, ice machines, pool table, karaoke, hot tub….. they’ve thought of it all. Highly recommended! AND dog friendly!

    Super friendly people, good breakfast. I was checking out early, and was offered, unsolicited, a sandwich for the road. A sign in the rooms advises that a local church bell peals during the night, and offers earplugs. I never heard it.
