Shrewsbury is a great place for a short break, full of historic and architectural interest and numerous good places to eat. The Bill Inn is in a great location - just step out of the door and your in the middle of a well-preserved Tudor street. But no insight parking is a pain - nearest overnight parking is at NCP, a five/ten minute walk away, although the car can be brought up to the door to drop off luggage etc. And steep, awkward stairs to accommodation, so beware. Staff - superb: friendly, relaxed, helpful, nothing too much trouble, which makes up for a lot.
