The Baron at Bucknell

Arrived and greeted by a lovely chap who ms also the owner. My room is absolutely immaculate and no expense has been spared. Towels are luxurious. Lovely and warm in the room. Bed is so comfy. Lovely chocolate to follow my cup of coffee. I cannot fault this place. Well done to all involved in its success.

During a roundtrip through the Shropshire area, this was the B&B I had the highest expectations for, because of the beautiful pictures and the elevated prices. Unfortunately, they weren't completely met. The B&B itself is located in a really nice area with stunning views and a large parking lot. The welcome, however, wasn't all that friendly; we didn't really now were to go and once we did find the bell at the back of the building, the check-in procedure was very businesslike and didn't have the "family-run"-vibe at all. The room itself was nice, with a very modern and clean bathroom, our window looked partially out on the roof and partially on the street. I think only the most expensive room had the beautiful view on the hills behind the building. We also had dinner there; we ordered a small bottle of prosecco as an aperitive, but we're given a large bottle in stead, we asked it really clearly so I think the waitress did it intentionally We had wanted to try the beers from the tap but unfortunately didn't get to do that, because we had the entire bottle of prosecco to clean out. Food could have been better, both dinner and breakfast. I was glad we only had to stay one night, because I think I would have gotten really frustrated.

Fabulous! 5 stars I cannot describe it any other way. They thought of everything and were perfect in any way, food, room, amenities and welcoming! Fantastic walks as well which start right off the premises.

The place is lovely - great bedrooms beautifully decorated and very clean. The restaurant is first class and the breakfast was superb. Free on-site parking. Would definitely stay again if needing a room in that area.

Would not recommend as infill I complained our service was poor . The waitress placed out condiment of ketchup and mayonnaise right on the edge of table as she walked away the ketchup fell and smashed on the floor ! Going all over my daughter learher shoes , socks and trousers. My daughter stood up and we tried to clean her up .the same waitress turned around looked at us and looked I see the table and we aaaumws she would be back with an apology and cleaning equipment. No she walked past carrying plants to another table aa we still where trying to clean up mess . Still assuming she would return. No she did not I had to leave tabs and meal and ask her directly why are you not helping??? She said I didn’t know ??? She looked at my daughter as she jumped up And we stared cleaning shoe . She also looked under the table directly at the mess as she passed the second time ! The same waitress then spent the rest of evening sitting opposite us with her arm around family or friend at a table in the restaurant. I assume she was no longer working , even though ketchup was still floor .

Thanks to all involved with serving us our fantastic meals cooked to perfection Friday evening we were a group of 5 and we feel that we had to leave you this review in appreciation We will definitely be returning soon Best wishes Jan and Mick
