Brownhill House

I am later writing this than intended, travel is always interesting and Brownhill House is and was a highlight. We stayed here nearly 20 years ago and determined to return one day. Brownhill is a labour of love for hosts Yoland and Roger Brown who transformed what was once a scrap metal yard into a lovely B&B with a truly beautiful, amazing and deliciously quirky garden which runs don to the river. The garden is testimony to years of knowledge, skill, plain hard work and a reflection of their travels and delicious sense of humour. Breakfasts are equally delicious with produce that is either home grown or locally sourced. Yolands knowledge of the area and Shropshire is vast and her advice regarding places to visit is well worth seeking.

Owners were friendly, great choice of breakfast which was delicious. Owners recommended some local places to visit, best way to get to Shrewsbury, recommended a local pub for food and offer to call and make a reservation to ensure i could eat. The gardens are absolutely beautiful! If your staying here it is an absolute must you give your self an hour to walk around the gardens the steps are steep so watch your self. Was shown to my room with a tea tray, bed were cosy, everything you need was in the room. The only thing that let it down was the bathroom being dirty. There was dirty marks in the bath, lots of hair in the plug it actually put me off using the bath wasn’t a major issue as it was only a over night stay, behind the sink was thick with cob webs, that being said i dont think it would put me off returning but if i stayed for longer i would have to make sure the bath os clean at least

My wife and I enjoyed 3nights at Brownhill House. We were warmly welcomed and our hosts were allways on hand to provide helpfull advice, which enabled us to take full advantage in exploring the area, it being our first visit. The beds were very comfortable and there was an excellent choice of locally sourced and home cooked food for breakfast. An added attraction was the amazing, quirky garden, which must be a great challege to maintain on such a steep slope. Loved looking though some o the books our hosts had written.

Pleasant stay. I enjoyed looking around the garden. The breakfast was good and the homemade muffins were a bonus. I had the single room which was dated but comfortable. HOWEVER if you are a light sleeper be aware it is right on the road and I was woken up very early (6.30) each morning by lorries going past.
