As a package this is brilliant.
A real hidden jem in a small village with lots of facilities. Opposite the Castle and duck pond. Not far to lots of tourist hotspots and when you get back plenty of free parking. Its an old building with creaking floorboards but that odds to the charm.

The property is very old, which makes it very quircky, which we loved. The views from the front bedroom are to die for overlooking the ruined castle and duck pond. The road is busy early morning and late afternoon, but that is to be expected and wasn't a problem. There are 2 pubs less than 2 minutes away for evening meals and it is very central to get around to various attractions. Debbie the lady who owns the property is lovely and very accommodating, nothing is too much trouble. There is lots to offer for breakfast, we enjoyed the breakfast baps, very different. We enjoyed out 4 night stay and would definately go back again, so hence our recommendation that this is a great place to stay.

Lovely if I was a deep sleeper
Beautiful setting opposite the castle and duck pond. The owner was really friendly and couldn’t do enough for me. Unfortunately I’m a very light sleeper and it’s next to a busy main road, so I didn’t sleep well. I only noticed the ear plugs provided the next day. If you sleep well I would 100% recommended. There are local pubs in walking distance, fish and chip shop, plus a local store.

Clean & quiet in small village. Landlady friendly. It is an old property so floors creak in rooms & on landing but fine otherwise. On main road but ear plugs provided too. Will definitely stsy again. Whittington Castle right over the road also.

Lovely, clean characteristic room with large ensuite. Plenty of tea & coffee facilities. Bev was very attentive & helpful to make our stay perfect. Cooked breakfast not available due to Covid but bacon bap with yogurt, breakfast bar, fruit & orange juice was plentiful. Only negative was on a busy road but I'm not a good sleeper.

Quaint b&b across from castle
A warm welcome, the owner well explained the facilities and helped with local food eateries. She was right on. Thank you. The rooms were well taken care of and clean with loads of tea, coffee and hot chocolate available. After a day on the motorcycle, it was pleasing to find a warm shower. Situated across from the castle it was a nice view. Traffic started at 5 which was fine fir me and they provided ear plugs for those who wanted a late start. As an asthmatic my lungs told me that old moisture in low heating environment were rebelling just s bit almost not worth mentioning but yes still there. The breakfast was more than full English. Filled beyond my needs with lovely filter coffee

The b&b was in a sweet little village just outside Oswestry and was easy to locate.There was parking right by the property and we were welcomed by the owner.Our room was a good size,lovely bathroom with a bath and shower and a good hospitality tray.The floorboards creaked and the stairs were a little steep but we were in an old property with character.The bed was very comfortable but there was a little noise from a fan or boiler for a short while sometime in the night.The breakfast was delicious with a gorgeous fruit salad & yogurt ,cereal fruit juice and full English with plenty of toast and hot drinks.

Boarded in a very large comfortable and spotless room after being greeted by a friendly landlady. A front of house room with a great view of the lake & Wittingham (of Dick fame?) but with a reasonable amount of traffic passing but stay was not disturbed by that traffic. Cannot comment on food as down for an early morning operation at local hospital and therefore breakfast allowed. Would quite happily stay again.

Attending a wedding
We stayed at Fitzwarine House for a weekend as we were attending a wedding in Shropshire. The B&B was lovely and quirky and the landlady very welcoming. Our room was very comfortable with a view of the castle opposite. Breakfast was excellent with a good choice.

Relaxing and hospitable
I was very satisfied, particularly as my room was at back of building. Those on front would probably have been noisy as so close to road. Owner was very obliging. Stairs to rooms a problem for older people. Excellent pub adjacent and pretty park around old castle

Very pleasant B&B with plenty of character and in pretty surroundings. Good breakfast. Slight downside, very close to busy road with inevitable traffic noise. Also floorboards very creaky, difficult to move around without waking people!

characterful and quirky.
Debbie, the owner, was friendly and welcoming from the moment we arrived. The guest house is quite an old building and at breakfast time we found ourselves at a table situated in what must have once been an inglenook fireplace. There are little nooks and crannies dotted around the place ;it was full of character. Our room was pleasant and the king sized bed was very comfortable. the rest of the furniture in the room was a little old fashioned, but as Debbie said "the house is old and modern things wouldn't look right here". I agree with her. If you decide to stay at FW house, do slip across the road to look at the castle ,it is directly opposite. Its free and worth a look round. Our bedroom overlooked the castle and we watched ducks and swans swimming on the moat. We enjoyed our overnight stay followed by an excellent breakfast.

Great location!
Lovely owner, couldn't be more helpful. It was like staying with an aunt. Absolutely beautiful location directly opposite Whittington castle and next to nice pub. Very powerful and hot shower, very comfy beds. breakfast tasty and fresh, although could have done with beans. Very quiet in spite of roadside location, however any noise outside the room can be heard / conversations in the room to the outside due to the old doors on the rooms (in keeping with the style) so don't expect bags of privacy! Would definitely return.

Quirky B&B - Friendly Hosts
We had a lovely stay, felt very welcome. We have a rather exuberant 4 year old girl as well making a welcome in a quiet B&B even better. Had a fab time and will definitely return.

Scenic stay opposite the castle
Our host was lovely and friendly. We had a good breakfast before setting off the next day. The property is very old and therefore quirky, however our room was large, comfortable and spotlessly clean. Everything had been done to make the room lovely.
