Dropped in recently to see if the restaurant and hotel had improved after a nightmare in 2006, sadly not. in my previous nightmare experience I had booked here months in advance for a school reunion only to be bounced and fobbed off with an out of town hotel. The school reunion dinner was then one of the worst meals ever.... More

the hotel is in a pretty village. at arrival we had to wait a good ten minutes until we could find someone to check us in. the rooms were very average, almost form the 1970's. I do think this hotel could do with a nice refit, especially as it is now under the best western brand. the breakfast was great... More

Very friendly staff always welcoming. Rooms clean and comfortable, always get a good nights sleep, food very good and value for money. Swimming pool looked inviting. Hotel is within easy access of the M5 for the travelling workers. Always a pleasure to arrive after a long day More

We stayed at the Best Western Shrubbery for a long weekend on a Tesco Club card deal. During our stay we found every single member of staff to be a delight. There were weddings both nights and they were incredibly busy but were still very attentive to the Hotel guests. We stayed in room 14 which is in the new... More

We had a lovely two nights stay at The Shrubbery. Staff were very friendly and the room overlooking the outdoor pool was superb with a large bathroom and lovely furnishings which were all very clean. The only negative point for this hotel is that the view from the roadside doesn't do it justice as the kitchen is on the front... More
