Bank House B&B

My husband and I stayed here on the first night of a walking/hiking holiday through Shropshire Way and Offa's Dyke. The property is a prime location for walking around Bishop's Castle and getting the lay of the land. Of the B&B's we stayed out on this holiday, this bedroom and bathroom were by far the largest with the bathroom having a shower and bathtub. The bedroom has plenty of space to store your luggage. The hostess was warm and welcoming. A hot English breakfast in the morning was the perfect way to begin our day. The house cat was cute and friendly.

The b and b is so well run by Gerry. A lovely house and a really special home cooked breakfast. Gerry was very friendly and helpful and answered all my questions beforehand with patience and clarity. The room was comfortable and clean. A great base to explore Shropshire. Would recommend.

Absolutley amazing stay. From the minute we walked into Bank House, we were mesmorised by the decor and character the house brings and how warming Gerry was. Very knowledgable about the local area and the special added touches how homemade lemon drizzle cake and shortbread in the room was the best. We requested an iron and ironing board prior to travelling and this was already in the room on our arrival. The room was spectactular, beautiful views, huge bath and powerful shower. Gerry replenished toiletries daily and made the bed. More surpises at breakfast time, with homemade jams and marmalades (Gerry even let us keep some jam), along with freshly squeezed orange and apple juice. Breakfast was delicious, ample food and lots of choice. Location was fabulous, with local pubs, restuarants including an Indian and a chip shop. Coop and Spar right on the door step. Gerry also had lots of maps for walkers should you wisj to explore further.

A really great stay in a comfortable and spacious B and B. Gerry our host was welcoming and helpful. I shared the biggest twin room I have stayed in with the added bonus of a bath and separate shower (other rooms were large but no bath). Breakfast was ample with homemade and local ingredients and plenty of choice.

Arrived hours before official check in time, but some pre-contact with Gerry allowed us to park up, and get into the room. As the only guests, Gerry took the time to point out some local walks, recommend food places and generally settle us into our stay. The room was great. We had a room with a roll top bath and shower. The bed is huge and there's complimentary tea, coffee and some lemon cake and shortbread too. Breakfast is ordered by ticking off various options in a sheet. The breakfast was great; homemade bread, and food cooked to order. We sat out on the patio when we were fine and were visited by the cat. The local area has some walks through beautiful countryside and the town was quiet (we visited on a Wednesday). The Six Bells pub at the bottom of the street was doing fish and chips to order, while the Castle hotel at the top has great views of the local area. Overall, a great stay in a great place.

We had a lovely, restful stay over the late May long BH weekend, which was just what we’d hoped for. Bank House is elegant, our bed was extremely comfortable and our room overlooked the garden, which we enjoyed looking out at at the start of each day. I enjoyed spending time on the veranda, soaking up the peacefulness (not much traffic passes!), reading and listening to birdsong. Our hostess was charming as well as extremely helpful and she prepared delicious breakfasts. Despite being such a very busy person she always had plenty of time for guests. I hadn’t realised that the hill on which Bank House is set was quite so steep, but managed to walk up it a couple of times despite knee problems. It’s very well worth the walk uphill to reach the Castle Hotel, with its lovely garden, delicious food at very reasonable prices and pleasant staff. I highly recommend a stay at Bank House to anyone who wants a quiet time in a lovely, comfortable house in a beautiful area, with an excellent breakfast to set them up for the day.
