Totally enjoyed my stay at the Old Brick. Room was clean and supplied with very quick and free Wi-Fi. Cost was good value. Many terrific pubs close by. Owners were very friendly and helpful. Cannot recommend highly enough. More

We stayed at the Old Brick Guesthouse with a group of friends on a walking trip around Shropshire. When we arrived sore and tired after a long day of walking, Rosie served us lemon cake and tea in the garden while Norm took care of our bags. The next day, we joined them to watch the midsummer procession of Morris... More

Having found The Old Brick Guesthouse and indeed Bishops Castle pretty much by chance on an 'end to end' bike trip in Sepember 2010, a reteurn visit to the area was planned with my wife for Summer 2011. South Shropshire is a little known gem of an area, Bishops Castle a thriving yet quiet small rural town, boasting six pubs,... More

We had a great time on a short family break. The rooms were clean and comfortable and Rosie was very accommodating with our family of five-our youngest particularly enjoyed the cereal dispensers! More

Our weekend stay, due to a nearby family wedding was a very pleasant surprise. Not only was the room exceptionally clean and well appointed, the service could not be faulted and the food could be judged alongside top restaurants. The attention to every little detail from the good quality bed linen and pillows to the tastefully decorated bedrooms made the... More

I cannot be as effusive as most other contributors regarding this B and B.The rooms were good and the beds excellent and Rosie was very welcoming. However, Norm (?) was very dour and did not seem to be enjoying what he was doing, making no attempt to talk to any of us. Breakfast was only average with hard, almost inedible... More

We are sorry that your stay with us was less then excellent. Perhaps because of your late arrival you did not have time to read the guest brochure in each room that includes a breakfast menu as you would then have known that kippers and smoked haddock are available as well as eggs, any style. In general our policy is... More

We stayed here whilst visiting nearby Lydbury North where my daughter is getting married. The welcome we recieved was excellent, the rooms comfortable and spacious and the bathroom facilities could not be faulted. We were directed to a nearby pub for dinner (where our landlord and landlady were also dining that night) and had a superb meal. Breakfast the next... More

We are so sorry that you have had a disappointing stay with us. I do, however, feel obligated to make a few comments in our defense. We would like to point out that it is difficult to adhere to our “green” aspirations, minimize our carbon footprint, reduce our fuel costs and also keep at old house like this heated at... More

We have recently returned from a 2 night stay at the Old Brick Guesthouse with our daughter and her family. Rosie and Norman looked after us all very well and we can recommend their Guesthouse to those seeking a home from home experience. More
