Darwin's Townhouse, Shrewsbury: Certified Dog-Friendly Rank & Review
Darwin's Townhouse scored a disappointing D Roch Rank. If you're planning a stay here with your four-legged friend, brace yourself for some limitations. Dogs are restricted to garden rooms, which means no cozying up in the main house. This can be a hassle, especially if you're hoping for a more integrated experience. The £25 per pet fee isn't outrageous, but considering the lack of amenities like dog beds or bowls, it feels a bit steep. You'll need to pack your own essentials, as the hotel doesn't provide them.
On the plus side, dogs are welcome on the terrace and patio, and there's a nearby park for walks, which is a saving grace in an otherwise restrictive setup. However, don't expect to leave your dog alone in the room, which can complicate plans for solo outings. The sister restaurant, The Loopy Shrew, is pet-friendly, offering a bit of relief if you're looking to dine out without leaving your dog behind.
Overall, while the garden rooms offer a decent space for your dog, the restrictions and lack of provided amenities make it less than ideal for a seamless dog-friendly stay. If you're set on visiting Shrewsbury, consider your options carefully.

Enjoy this lovely wooded trail as you wind from Milford Common to Coppice Hill, making your way through Cannock Chase. Keep an eye out for wildlife in the common and between the trees, but take care on the rougher sections of this trail, especially in wetter conditions when the paths become very muddy. Appropriate footwear is required.
