The hotel is a 10-minute drive from Ironbridge, Telford or Bridgnorth and 25 minutes from Wolverhampton or Shrewsbury. Eccentric country chic best describes the style of this hotel with patchwork, lavender scented sheets, brass beds, antique furniture and the renowned velvet covered swings! The minute guests push past the front swing doors, with their stained glass panels carrying the words Temperance Hall you realise you have come somewhere special. Downstairs there is an amazing interconnecting warren of lavishly decorated bars and dining rooms with old quarry tiled floors, exposed brickwork, beamed ceilings and oak panelling. Herb posies, pot pourri and lavender bunches all help to perfume the atmosphere in the Hundred House. The hotel has a fascinating history.

Superior rooms are larger and more sumptuously furnished with period pieces, including some with half-tester beds and some with the famous swings. Stuarts food is widely recognised as being some of the most forward thinking, and delicious in the area. As a food critic said recently it is fresh, local, seasonal and of good provenance. As well as growing a vast and unusual array of herbs in Sylvias Garden, the owners have spent many years building relationships with suppliers of quality meat and vegetables in Shropshires fertile hills. They supply ultra sweet lamb, aged marbled beef, free range Hereford ducks, traditional Gloucester Old Spot Pork, Bobbington Wild Boar, Coxs apple juice, asparagus, summer fruits, pheasant, venison, fish from Brixham etc. which makes dining in the restaurant a wonderful occasion.The worlds first, internationally most famous, and locally largest iron bridge is that which gives its name to the town of Iron Bridge in the south of Telford and is the towns most famous feature. It was built across the River Severn in 1779 by local ironmaster Abraham Darby III to demonstrate the quality of the iron now produced by the process his grandfather invented to smelt iron using coal rather than coke. Immediately, it was world-famous, President Thomas Jefferson of the USA being one of the first to buy an engraving of it!
