Old Orleton Inn

I first visited this restaurant in September and had a lovely meal no complaints, I’ve since visited twice more, in early October, I visited again., I ordered a meal again and asked for a rump steak medium, when it arrived, it was rare, I left the table and quietly went up to tell the waitress that it wasn’t as I had ordered, she apologised and 10 minutes later my steak arrived back, it was inedible !! I called in tonight for a drink, & the chef’s wife asked if she could have a quiet word with me round the corner, - She told me in no uncertain terms that I was not welcome, & I would never be served again. I asked why, she told me that I’d complained before about the meal, and that I had gone into the bar afterwards and told everyone about the awful meal I had had. This was a downright lie as I am not that kind of person. It’s a sad time if a restaurant cannot take any criticism without banning someone for complaining.

Recently booked the Inn at the last minute as visiting Wellington for a birthday celebration within walking distance from it. Great little find! Plenty of parking space was a good start. Staff were brilliant, I had forgotten my phone charger, so without hesitation they helped with charging my phone! The room was lovely and spacious, with a very comfortable bed! There was a continental breakfast hamper offering a good selection, with fresh milk, water and orange juice in the mini fridge. Within the Inn there’s a restaurant (which we didn’t eat at, as food was provided for our evening) newly renovated and run by a friendly husband and wife team. Menu looked great, would definitely eat there for a next visit. My top marks go to Will, the owner of the Inn…my husband left his suit hanging in the wardrobe. We realised this when travelling back home to Dorset. On calling Will, he said ‘I’ve already emailed you asking how you would like us to return it to you’!! All in all, a brilliant, friendly service from start to finish. I would definitely stay again and recommend…

Hi I watched 4 in a bed on tv what a lovely genuine professional couple overpaid Kay for her to win the competition putting there own place behind and was totally cheated by the mother and daughter Kay this couple are amazing even though they didn't win and Kay was lovely and amazing I would love to visit this couples B&B anytime they are a totally genuine professional couple watch 4 in a bed I wish you both every success in the future

We received a warm welcome, staff was really friendly. They were clearly understaffed but did everything with a smile and tried their best to reduce waiting times and much as possible. The room was really spacious and pretty, the owners have done their best to keep everything in an authentic state, while still providing modern amenities. Breakfast was really good, with an option to choose a hot meal, which were freshly prepared. The only negative thing to say is that we had to wait a really long time for our food (a think about 2 hours) at dinner, but once it came, it was really good.

My husband stayed there for two nights because of a family funeral.He said the staff were very friendly,the breakfast was brilliant and the room was comfortable. He also said the beer was cheap compared to london prices.

My wife and I are staying for a few days. We invited friends round for a meal. The meal was great, contrary to recent reviews. I had Guinea fowl on mushroom / pasta, and would happily order it again. I wish the 200 character limit would go, it would it encourages verbosity.

Stayed here and loved every minute. Wonderful hosts who honestly couldn't do enough for me. Breakfast to die for. Will definitely return. All your hard work guys, is certainly paying off. When I am next in the area, I will certainly be returning.

We stayed here Saturday 20/05 Arrived just after 3 check was swift, told our room was on the first floor to the left and the end one no5. We had pre booked this room for the jacuzzi bath and four poster bed which didn’t disappoint. The room was spotlessly clean if a little cramped.. there wasn’t a lot of space between the end of the bed and the chest of drawers .. I had to turn sideways to get past. Nice little touch of coffee machine and tea/ kettle facilities in the room .. no coffee for the machine just hot chocolate pods no milk pods (maybe replenish these when cleaning the room) We reserved a table in the restaurant for 7:30, we arrived 10/15 mins early and was seated our orders for food taken .. sadly due to being busy we waited over 45 minutes for food. I ordered belly pork my partner prawn and salmon salad as the crab and crayfish salad wasn’t available. My fault I didn’t read the menu I got some sort of sweet potato gratin which I don’t eat .. I would however have preferred a choice of potato but as I said my fault I didn’t read the menu. We decided to have a drive after dinner to the iron bridge, returned to our room to try out the jacuzzi bath … ohh my word it was amazing and the bath water was incredibly hot! Yep I was broiled I love a red hot bath and the jets where amazing 🤩 So we settled down to watch a film but couldn’t concentrate as all we could hear was the noise from the downstairs bar.. this went on until 12:20am. When my partner mentioned this at breakfast the waitress said no one had mentioned the noise before and apologised.. Breakfast we was offered a choice of cereals and a full English .. fresh orange was on the table and we had a pot of tea and a cafetière of fresh coffee, again we waited quite a while for food but when it was served it was really good and all locally sourced produce. Check out again swift and we left. The reason I have mentioned the wait for food is because I have an eating disorder and have to eat when I am hungry or it passes, so whilst it’s an issue for me it may not be for others.

My friend and I stayed at the Old Orleton Inn on a Saturday night because my bathroom and kitchen were out of action due to remodelling and we discovered a real gem. Sophie and David were really welcoming and accommodating (giving me green tea in my room instead of breakfast tea). The little touches like the complimentary pack of little chocolates and quality biscuits and bottles of locally sourced water, added a touch of luxury. The beds were comfortable and the whole place quaint and cosy. The food provided by Craig, the chef, was excellent (worth a visit in its own even if you weren’t staying the night). A good evening menu and a very hearty breakfast. As the only room vacant was facing the road I was worried that it may have been noisy, but I didn’t need to worry, as the glazing of the windows made it quiet. The proximity to Shrewsbury and Telford was convenient too. The only thing I would say (why it hasn’t got 5 stars, nit picking I know 🤪) is that our room had a step up into the bathroom which might not suit anyone with mobility issues, but I know they have many other rooms without this feature. The room rate was also reasonable compared to other properties in the area. Definitely value for money. In all we really enjoyed our stay and would recommend it. Thank you Sophie, David and Craig.
