The Gaskell Arms, previously a 17th century coach house, is delightfully situated on the edge of the medieval town of Much Wenlock, near Ironbridge, Shropshire. Now a family owned hotel and restaurant, the Gaskell Arms offers hotel accommodation (rated 3* by the AA) with 14 rooms in total, including the Mews and Coach House.
A historic coaching inn from the 17th century, the Gaskell Arms has been a focal point in Much Wenlock since the beginning, welcoming guests with its stately bow windows and traditional appearance even today. Since the Georgian times the Gaskell Arms has held a prominent position in the travellers heart, with coach and horses in the 1700s, through to the arrival of the railway in Much Wenlock in 1860.
The Gaskell Arms in Much Wenlock is surrounded by some of the most wonderful countryside views around of Shropshire, but you don't have to look far to find your very own haven whilst staying with us, with the beautiful walled garden and terrace within our hotel grounds. The walled garden and terrace at the Gaskell Arms is no ordinary pub garden or hotel grounds.
Arrived at the 17th Century Coaching Inn, The Gaskell Arms Hotel mid afternoon and after parking the car in the spacious car park, was greeted with a friendly smile and welcome. The entire hotel is maintained and run to high standards. The youngsters under training in the dining room were wonderful hosts.
The tranquil ruins of Wenlock Priory stand in a picturesque setting on the fringe of beautiful Much Wenlock. An Anglo-Saxon monastery was founded here in about 680 by King Merewalh of Mercia, whose abbess daughter Milburge was hailed as a saint. Her relics were miraculously rediscovered here in 1101, attracting both pilgrims and prosperity to the priory.

Walked in off the street today for a meal.
Was busy with more people coming in behind us. Found a table for four in what really is a lovely bar.
Even though it was busy, incredibly hard working lady was very friendly and looked after us very well.
2 of us had the steak and ale pie ( which had half a side of beef in each) one had the steak cooked perfectly and one fish and chips which I was told was also very good.
3 of the party where on cokes but in pints and I was on the larger. 4 meals and 8 drinks for well under £80 that is reasonable pricing on any meal but at this quality absolute bargain
