Well located for a walk into town or down to the river. Quirky loft room, perfect for a short stay as not huge amounts of storage due to it being a small room. Very friendly host and the “extra” touches (such as a couple of chocolates in the room and home made cakes) were above and beyond- and much appreciated!
Nothing
Very comfortable and an excellent breakfast.
Just a bit noisy with passing trains .
The friendliness of our hosts and the gardens. It felt like we were being welcomed into a home.
NA
Clean, very well provided for, really great at providing gluten free options. There was nothing they hadn't thought of, down to homemade cakes and marmalade, the room even had gowns and slippers, sewing kit and all kinds of helpful things. Chatty welcoming owner.
Only had 1 night there!
Host was very friendly, made us very welcome. Lots of little extras in our room, and home made cake in the dining room.
Nothing.
Fabulous location Louise the host was very friendly and makes the most fabulous breakfast plus home made cakes available all day A must stay place if you want Shrewsbury
All good
An absolutely wonderful place to stay in Shrewsbury. Louise was extremely welcoming, our twin room was beautifully set up and breakfast delicious. The fresh baked treats available for guests during the day was a lovely touch.
Anton Guest house is the best bed and breakfast we have stayed in ever. The location is perfect to explore Shrewsbury. We were made to feel very welcome and pampered. Food was truly exceptional
Parking is a bit of a challenge but not a deal breaker
The food was exelent the host and her huband and her siater inlaw who served us breakfast one morning were lovely and it was spotless
The dressing gowns abd slppers were not soft and the slippers idid not use as they were old and been used before and unless the weather was nice it was to far to walk into town we got a taxi each of the three days we spent there to town and back again we could of got the bus but none on a sunday and irregular time table on otherdays
Es war so schön hier! Wir wurden sehr freundlich empfangen, hatten ein gemütliches Zimmer mit einem guten Bett, es gab ein tolles Frühstück und am Nachmittag super leckeren Kuchen. Einfach herrlich!
Such a beautiful house and so cosy! Loved the availability for parking right in front of the property. Great amenities and comfortable rooms - you have everything you could possibly need! The owner was incredibly hospitable and made sure we were comfortable the whole time. She treated us to plenty of snacks, including freshly baked cakes, and provided a fantastic breakfast in the morning. Can’t recommend this place enough!
Friendly welcome on arrival. Lovely room on the second floor (we were in Room 5) with all you would need. Comfortable bed and good shower. Delicious cake on arrival and breakfast in the morning which was freshly made. Louise was friendly and helpful and we liked how she made time to chat to us. Parking on the street just outside the property was a bonus. All in all a lovely nights stay.
Nothing.
Amazing choice of breakfast to suit all tastes. Also lovely home made cake on arrival. Every little detail had been thought of
Louise was the perfect host. Recommended places to see and eat. The room was comfortable and clean and the breakfast outstanding and kept us full all day, all freshly cooked to order and so much choice. Homebaked cakes all day to pick at was an added delicious bonus. We will be back highly recommend.
Louise gave us a lovely warm welcome.. We were made to feel at home and Louise couldn't do enough for us. We were looked after and the room was spotless. The breakfast was excellent and everything so beautifully presented. We would highly recommrnd this bed and breakfast and we will most definitely be returning.
A warm welcome from a friendly host, a very comfortable stay, excellent breakfasts, and freshly baked cake always available. An absolute delight and very highly recommended!!

You are greeted with a small immaculate kept garden. We stayed in room number 2. The furniture is old but beautiful & fitting with the house. I found the bed to be very comfortable with good quality bedding. There was everything you could possibly need in the room, as Louise had thought of everything, from sewing kit to face wipes! The breakfast was exceptional.
There was nothing we didn’t like about this property.
Extremely friendly and helpful.
Breakfast was lovely, good quality products freshly cooked,,Lots of choice . Fresh homemade cake and brownies 😋 to help your self too, Victoria sponge cake was amazing Only 15 minutes walk into the centre of town.
No issues
Everything is perfect at Louise’s: it’s just a stone’s throw from the town centre, the welcome is lovely, the room is very comfortable, and it’s the best breakfast we’ve had in the 15 days we’ve spent in England (and we French are a bit fussy, aren’t we? :) )… if you’re thinking of staying in the area, don’t hesitate for a second!
We felt at home. Hospitality and helpfulness of Louise were amazing.
Train noises from nearby station at times.
Friendly and clean. Breakfast was great.
Wunderschönes B&B, das sehr liebevoll geführt wird. Luisa ist eine aufmerksame Gastgeberin, die an alles denkt und ihre Gäste umsorgt. Das Frühstück ist sensationell und die Lage ideal. Wir wären gerne länger geblieben. DANKE
The welcome and attention you receive from the hosts Louise and Peter is second to none. The food is first rate and vegan options are available. The house is in an ideal location for visiting Shrewsbury and the comprehensive guide in the room gives all the info you need for sites, pubs, takeaways etc etc, you'd ever need to know. My son and I have stayed here twice now and if I ever come back to Shrewsbury I wouldn't consider booking anywhere else.
Nothing
Great host, location, and food, oh and complimentary cake on arrival, what's not to like
Charmant B&B bien placé. Jolie chambre confortable, petit déjeuner varié et excellent, accueil chaleureux avec de nombreuses attentions de Louise, charmante.
Louise is a lovely host. Excellent breakfast with a wide choice. Beautiful house and garden and overall a welcoming and lovely stay.
Shrewsbury was okay
We were travelling from Dorset on a round trip to Berwick upon Tweed to visit family and booked a total of 6 hotels and B & Bs. Anton House was the most expensive, especially after we had to pay an additional £20.00 to move from a twin room on the top floor in a heat wave. The room and bathroom were very small. Breakfast was ok. but not exceptional. We paid £135.00 for B & B, but would say it was £50.00 over-priced compared to other bookings on the trip.
Great hospitality, good breakfast, on street parking
Nothing
This property is a gem, only a 15-minutes walk to the town centre! The hosts were great, checking what time we'd arrive and welcoming us with delicious homemade pastries. Cake was available for free everyday. A perfect place to stay if you're visiting the town, with tailored recommendations for attractions, restaurants and pubs in a folder in the room and from the hosts. The rooms were in pristine condition with very high quality furnishings and supplies. Likewise, the breakfast was of very high standard. The small garden around the property had a variety of biodiversity to explore. Put simply, the hosts have thought about everything that a traveller would love. There is free parking along the streets. I highly recommend this property.
Das B&B liegt am Stadtrand von Shrewsbury, einer historischen Stadt mit einem unerwartet hohen Anteil an mittelalterlichen Fachwerkhäusern. Nach einem kleinen Spaziergang von 20 Minuten ist das Stadtzentrum erreicht und es lohnt sich ein Bummel durch die engen Gassen mit den gut restaurierten Gebäuden. Neben Handwerklichem und Kunst kann die Markthalle besucht werden und auch ein Blick auf die Statue von Charles Darwin vor der alten Bibliothek lohnt sich. Das B@B befindet sich in einem typisch englischen Haus mit Zimmern auf den Etagen. Ein kleiner gepflegter Garten empfängt die Gäste und im Frühstückraum stehen Kuchen, Tee und Getränke zur Selbstbedienung bereit. Das Frühstück besteht aus den typischen Gerichten, ergänzt um Porrige und weitere Extras
Louise was very welcoming and friendly. She provided cake, that you could help yourself to during and cold milk from the fridge. There were fans in the bedroom 👍 The room and facilities were spotless and comfy. Breakfast was delicious with plenty of choice.
louise host was such a lovely lady such a lovely gesture of homemade flapjacks which was delicious. Louise made sure you had everything u needed and guided you to best places to go and where to eat
nothing not to like
Such a lovely guest house to stay in. Beautiful clean bedrooms with plenty of extras provided. Free parking on the street outside. Very friendly owner who makes a delicious lemon cake. Loads of options for breakfast. Highly recommend staying.
Louise, l'hôtesse d'Anton, est très accueillante. Les chambres sont décorées comme je les aime, très cocooning. L'établissement possède un petit jardin, tout mignon et très bien entretenu. J'ai apprécié l'excellent petit-déjeuner choisi à la carte, la veille.
Je ne sais comment ça pourrait être amélioré, mais le bruit de la circulation m'a gênée.
Staff and location
Nothing a good bed and breakfast
sehr freundliche Gastgeberin, sehr gutes Frühstück, sehr gute Lage um in die schöne Altstadt zu kommen
The Anton was lovely. Louise and her team are so welcoming and friendly. Breakfast was excellent. Plenty of choice. They couldn't do enough for you.
The rooms are a little dated but very clean and comfortable
Die Gastgeberin und ihre Schwester waren sehr freundlich und freundlich. Das Zimmer war sehr klein aber sauber. Das Bad war hell und freundlich.
Unser Twin-Room lag direkt unterm Dach und war für zwei Personen schon fast zu klein.
It was a very comfortable property and the hosts were excellent. Everything was spotlessly clean and the breakfast was second to none!

Great location with friendly kind and helpful owner. Loved the morning birdsong, comfy beds. Super shower and awesome breakfast.Lets not forget the cake too!
Ee liked everything!
A brief 15 minutes to town centre and a fabulous breakfast at Anton Guest House to start the day. Beautiful array of floral items in the petite garden.
Charming old-England atmosphere, thoughtful touches like cake & milk on arrival and chocolates in the room. Delightful warm hosts.
Third floor room was a bit too warm, but there was a fan provided.
Excellent & enjoyable visit. Louise was very friendly and chatty and made us feel very welcome. Our top floor room was clean and comfortable. A kettle and an assortment of teas, coffee and biscuits were awaiting us in the room and replenished during our stay. Breakfast - amazing choice. Food was plentiful, well cooked and tasty. Complimentary cake - Louise provided wonderful complimentary home baked sponge cakes in the dining room and encouraged us to help ourselves. We did! Not yet anaged to shed the extra weight we put on and we were nearly expelled from our local Weightwatchers Group when we attended our next Weigh In!! Apparently, the idea is to lose weight not put it on🫢🫢 Every day is a School Day😂 Anton Guest House is located an easy 20 minute walk from Shrewsbury Centre with its historic buildings, shops, pubs and restaurants. Evening Meal - There is an excellent pub just five minutes walk from the guesthouse which offers great Indian cuisine and a traditional pub food menu. A great selection of beers, wines etc too. We ate there both nights of our stay as we did not want to walk back into Shrewsbury Centre. A good decision. Would highly recommend Anton Guest House.
The hostess had clearly thought through what you want from an overnight stay and provided nice extra touches. Eg offerred cake on arrival, full range of teas, coffees etc in the room. Ability to help oneself to fresh milk from the breakfast room fridge. Easy. Street parking at tge property.
Nothing stands out, it is a good bed and breakfast. If you are not into walking you may find the walk into town a bit far. But it's a pretty easy walk... and there are alternaive food options very close to the house.
The location was perfect - close by to walk into the downtown area of Shrewsbury. Parking was on the street and easy to find a space. The host was wonderful - welcoming, friendly, helpful and made yummy lemon cake for guests arriving. Our room was large and very comfortable. The breakfast was delicious and the tables were so beautifully set with English china dishes and linens. A short but utterly delightful stay.
There was nothing we did not like.
Louise made us so welcome. Lovely to be made to feel at home and nothing was too much trouble. We loved the homemade cake and the breakfast was excellent.
We knew we were up two flights of stairs, but they were steep. Good job we are fit.

We had a wonderful stay at Anton Guest House and would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Shrewsbury. From the moment we arrived, Louise made us feel incredibly welcome. The facilities were excellent, with everything we needed for a relaxing and enjoyable stay. Our room was spotless, well-equipped, and very comfortable. Breakfast was a real highlight, with a great selection of excellent options to suit all tastes, all freshly prepared to a high standard. The home-baked cakes were a lovely touch and really added to the overall experience! The location has good local amenities including a corner shop and pub within a few minutes walk and is a fifteen minute walk from Shrewsbury town centre. All in all, a fantastic stay. We wouldn’t hesitate to return and would certainly recommend it to others.
Louise the owner was very friendly and welcoming. Breakfast quality and options was very good, particularly for a guest house. Room was clean and well stocked with tea, coffee etc and everything you’re likely to need.
Nothing to dislike, parking on street is free but available but spaces may be limited close to the property. We did managed to park a few metres away. However the whole street is free of parking restrictions so spaces should be available.
Louise made us very welcome when we arrived, homemade cake and very helpful with ideas of where to eat in the Town. The Guest House is ideally situated just a short 10 minute walk into the centre along the English Bridge.
Nothing perfect for our short stay
Freshly made, very tasty and abundant breakfast. Snacks and freshly baked cakes available all day in the dining room. Comfortable bedroom with everything needed for a short stay. Although the room faced a noisy main road, we slept very well. Free on-demand TV, which is unusual. Staff were friendly and went out of their way to make us feel welcome.

Beautiful Victorian house with lovely original features, well positioned within easy walking distance to town Extremely friendly and helpful host and probably the best breakfast we’ve had at any B&B - or any hotel for that matter!

Louise was very welcoming and gave some super advice on places to see and places to eat. The room was very quiet and comfortable with facilities for hot drinks and TV with Netflix. The bathroom was very clean and the shower good. Breakfast was superb, I had the full English both mornings but there was a wide variety of options on the menu and also cake available if you fancied it. Thank you for making me feel at home.
Anton Guest house is a great place to stay.The host had thought of everything we might need.Breakfast menu was amazing and delicious.Would definitely recommend.
Wasn't anything we didn't like,host went out of their way to make sure our stay was good.
Owner so friendly and breakfast fantastic!
Our bed was a bit uncomfortable but only because we are used to one a little softer
Spacious and comfortable room. Perfect host. Great breakfast and arrival cake. Very clean
Nothing to be negative about
Everything provided for a great stay. In particular the breakfasts were excellent with a great variety of choice.
Excellent location and walk into town. Our host Louise was wonderful and gave good insights for town. Breakfast had amazing options, chosen the night before and once provided was delicious. There was a fridge if we wanted to store drinks, there was homemade cake for afternoon tea. Comfortable room and linen. The stairway to the room is narrow, we just took our toiletries and clothes with us, so no need to carry all our luggage to the room.

Breakfast was great 👍

Everything! From the hosts, the cosy and comfy bedroom, the delicious breakfast.
Very welcoming and friendly . Nice walk into the town approx 10-15 mins . Excellent breakfast cooked to order , one of the best we have ever had .
The shower was not staying at the same temperature
Very welcoming. Good location, accomodation comfortable and clean and breakfast first class great choice. Would definitely book again.
Nothing couldn't find anything we didn't like
Everything excellent apart from noise from busy road and adjacent mainline railway.
Noise from busy road and adjacent mainline railway.
Good location, short walk from city centre. Hot breakfast was well cooked. Home baked cake a really nice extra. Good information from host and in rooms of surrounding area. In room extras were generously replenished. Glimpsed double rooms which were larger than ours and had wardrobes so main problem was with our twin room and not the property itself.
Our room, 4, was very small with no wardrobe space. Would not be suitable for taller guests due to sloping ceilings. A twin bedded room with one bed uncomfortable and squeaking at any movement. May have been heard by neighbours as we could easily hear their snoring. Poor soundproofing between rooms, and from the trains which were very obvious whenever they passed by. Buffet options at breakfast were limited with toast always the last hot option served even if the only item requested.
We had a fabulous stay at Anton house. The hosts were very welcoming. The location was perfect , just far enough out of the centre that there was ample free parking . The breakfast was absolutely delicious with lots of choices. The extra touches we didn't expect such as cakes and lindt chocolates were a welcome surprise. Can't recommend this enough . You will not be disappointed.

Wide range of breakfast choices and all cooked breakfasts individually prepared. Many thoughtful touches by the host Louise.
On street parking not guaranteed to be available outside the property but usually available reasonably close by.
Very comfortable accommodation with superb breakfast and wonderful hosts.
We had a marvellous weekend staying at Anton Guest House. Louise was lovely and friendly and went above and beyond in her helpfulness. The breakfast was certainly a highlight for us!
Great Breakfast. Great Location
Louise was an exceptional host, friendly, professional, knowledgeable and very organised. There were so many extra special touches - home made cakes and biscuits, fruit and milk available to help yourself to, so many different teas and other drinks to choose from in the room, well appointed rooms and great shower and incredible breakfast choices including excellent vegetarian options.
Everything! As well as everything mentioned above, the location was perfect, an easy walk into town and free easy parking
Good quality clean accommodation, lovely welcome and fantastic food
Very pleasant typical English bed& breakfast. Excellent attention to detail. Lovely warm welcome from Louise. Perfect breakfast choice & quality. Would highly recommend. Home made cakes a special bonus!
Bathroom a little small.
Excellent stay. Lovely welcome from Louise. Lovely comfortable room and excellent breakfast. Good location too
The host is lovely, warm and welcoming. The breakfasts, freshly made to order, are not only delicious but there is a range of dishes. Free cakes too!
Traditional house with lots of character very clean, comfortable bed and great breakfast .. Everything you need is available. Louise is a lovely lady who gave us lots of useful information about the local area.

The host was SO welcoming and helpful
We received such a warm welcome from our host, who gave us helpful suggestions on where to eat to suit our dietary needs. The room was very clean with lots of extras, like the up to date magazines for reading, and many tea and coffee choices. There was a fridge in dining room with oat milk we could help ourselves to for our room. The breakfast options for vegan and vegetarians were very tasty. Parking was easy near The Anton.
Next time I'd book direct with The Anton. Booking.com said there were no double rooms available but when we arrived we found there were.
excellent B&B. Lovely friendly staff. Excellent breakfast. Provided local recommendations. Very clean. convenient location
nothing!
Lovely experience, welcoming and friendly host. Thought of everything to make stay pleasant. Lots of lovely touches. Recommend breakfast, it was fab
Bed was a bit creaky, but mentioned to host who said will get sorted
The owner was very friendly and baked wonderful cakes, which were available anytime, free of charge.
It was not always possible to park directly outside but street parking was usually no more than a hundred yards away.
Location was good, breakfast was great, fresh homemade cakes on arrival.
Fantastic, friendly service from Louise. It's a great place to stay with complimentary drinks and lovely cakes too be had. Breakfast was really lovely with great selection. Also, netflix available in room, which is a nice touch. It's about a ten minute walk into town. Would not hesitate to stay here again.

Confortable home from home Welcoming Host
This is our second stay at Anton House B&B this year. Overall both our stays were very good. Could not fault anything. Room and bed were very comfortable and clean, good hot shower. Breakfast was excellent with a good choice on the menu to suit everyone. Good quiet location and only 10 to 12 minutes walk into town. Shrewsbury is a very interesting place and worth a visit.
Nothing to dislike.
Close to centre
Louise was a great host and served a beautiful breakfast accommodating any dietary requirement. Greeted with lovely homemade cakes on arrival . Bed very comfortable and property within walking distance from Shrewsbury. Would definitely return
Lovely place to stay. A warm welcome with homemade cakes and treats. The room was cosy and well stocked with items (tea, coffee, water, biscuits, extra pillows and blankets) Bathrobes in the room. The choice at breakfast was really good and catered to different dietary needs. A nice 15-20 min walk into the town centre and free parking outside. Would definitely return.
