The Salwey Arms

I’ve visited the salway loads over the years and feel it’s got somewhat confusing and inconsistent. You never know what you’re going to get. The evening food used to be amazing but it’s unfortunately now, it’s up and dawn. . On our last visit we got forgotten twice which I don’t think is acceptable service when they weren’t that busy. Yet the time before that, you couldn’t fault the service. It’s a real shame to be honest because inside the hotel is lovely. I hope you make the relevant changes so that it can be the restaurant it once was.

We recently spent two nights at the Salwey Arms. There is a large car park so no problem there. We were greeted warmly by Sue who we later discovered was the owner. While waiting for our room to be ready , we ordered a sea bream dish which was excellent and fresh . The hotel room was spacious and clean. The bed was very comfortable and there was a great en suite with a rolled top bath although no separate shower. Towels were very fluffy. Superb choice of breakfast items. I had the excellent full English breakfast on day one and the pancakes on day two. Because of this we also had a chicken dish for dinner, once again very fresh and well cooked. Throughout are stay all the staff were most accommodating and helpful. The hotel is about 7 miles from Ludlow town but easy to get to. There is also a nearby park and ride if you so wish. Because the property is grade two listed, there is no double glazing in the room and there is a fair bit of traffic noise but it didn’t put us off. Overall a great all round hotel with great staff and would fully recommend it.

The starter of soup was so hot it burnt my mouth that was after we had to ask for a spoon Yorkshire puddings not very hot and not crispy at all , the vegetables we had to wait for. Service was so slow the 2 meat meals were just so average Vegetarian loaf was just a blob of goo in the middle of plate with the parsnips plonked on top Apple crumble dessert, never seen such a small portion, there was no dessert cutlery so again we had to ask and wait No one checked on the meal until the end Not worth the money

Four of us went for lunch one Sunday. The staff were welcoming, friendly, and efficient, The menu showed plenty of choice, including vegetarian options. We were not rushed, even though it was quite busy. Will definitely return when next in the area.

9 in the family went for Sunday lunch and it varied. The plates were cold and hence so was the food. The beef was chewy, the veg was mixed in dishes so if you didn't like any of it you had to pick through and it had an average taste, also not hot. However some liked the pork. Roasties not crisp, soggy and seemed to have been waiting some time for us to eat them. We won't be returning for food but the beer was good

A very friendly and helpful welcome. Rooms stylish, comfortable and clean. Great breakfast - go for the buttermilk pancakes. Well placed for Ludlow. Good parking. Nice garden and playground. Well priced
