The Old Orleton Inn near Telford: Telford Hotels
1 Mature couple - 20/12/07	100%
Good Points: Outstanding service throughout our stay. Hotel furnished and decorated impeccably. Food first class and very good value.
Bad Points: A good reading light in the room would have been appreciated. also, a teapot, do not like using teabags in cups
Further Comments: We like this type of hotel - rooms individually furnished to a very high standard, and service that could not be faulted. They even found us a table for dinner at short notice on a busy pre-Christmas evening when they were already fully booked. The Orleton would be worth visiting for the food alone, the choice was excellent, the quality first class, and the price exceptionally reasonable. Strongly recommend the smoked halibut starter.

Good Points: Nice decor, friendly staff and good food
Bad Points: Tea & coffee making facilities not available in room
Further Comments: Very nice atmosphere - cosy but also lively with diners in the evening. Good food in restaurant (and for breakfast !). Nicely presented rooms, although we couldn't make our own tea/coffee, this was made up for a bit with the nice chocolate and biscuits ! Car parking can be tight in the evening when the restaurant is busy, so check in early if poss. Hosts are very accommodating and friendly. Hotel is right next to a fairly busy road, but at night you don't notice it too much.

Good Points: The room was beautifully appointed. Contemporary style. Four poster bed which was unexpected. Lovely view from the room. complimentary fruit and chocolate an added pleasure. The bed was extremely comfortable. Bathroom was equally well appointed and clean.
Bad Points: Lack of tea/coffee making facilities and no hairdryer
Further Comments: We arrived at the hotel at around 5:30 p.m. the hotel was locked with an instruction to ring the out of hours number. The owner was on site within 2 mins so not a major problem. The reception consists of a little alcove which was a little worrying to start with, we usually stay at hotels with big receptions and staffed at all times. The whole hotel is beautifully decorated and very clean. When we entered our room we were very pleasantly surprised to find a fourposter bed. We had dinner in the Brasserie and the food and service was excellent at very reasonable prices. Breakfast was included in the price and was varied and plentiful. Top marks for actually having camomile on the selection of teas! A really lovely little hotel with charming friendly staff.

Good Points: We were made totally welcome by the very pleasant staff, and the food was of the highest standard.
Bad Points: Hard pillows!!
Further Comments: The particular room we were allocated suffered from a lot of traffic noise, especially at night. More hooks and shelving in the bathroom would have been useful.
