Shrewsbury hotel receives top accolade
A new Shropshire hotel has been named as one of the top ten boutique hotels in the country in a national newspaper.
The Lion + Pheasant in Wyle Cop, Shrewsbury, opened its doors shortly before Christmas and is proving a hit with visitors and tourism bosses.
The hotel has been listed as number two in the top ten boutique hotel stays under £100.00 in the travel section of the Sunday Mirror.
The newspaper said: “This family-owned hotel in Shrewsbury has had a head-to-toe makeover and is now one of the most stylish in Shropshire.
“Each of its 22 en-suite bedrooms is individually designed, with plush linens and silks. There's even an oak-trussed loft bedroom with a free-standing Victorian bath.
“The hotel also has two bars, including the Inglenook, with a roaring open fire, stocked with Shropshire real ales and affordable wines (the hotel has an extensive wine cellar).
“Hungry? Take a seat in the beamed restaurant and dine on top-notch food by chef Alan Dann.”
Manager Jim Littler, said he and the staff are delighted at the recognition they are receiving.
He said: “We are delighted! The transformation of the Lion + Pheasant with its new interiors and restaurant has been really well received and complimented by the local people of Shrewsbury and now to be recognised so quickly and so enthusiastically on a national level is amazing!”
