This old coaching inn has been well revamped, service is first class. The food was excellent with good response to individual needs. Although pricey the rooms were up to a high standard. The roll top bath, with no screen, was a triumph of design over functionality. There was nowhere to put the soap! Having a shower without flooding the floor was tricky. The Chef produced first class dishes on every occasion.

Very convenient location. Hot water pipes under our floor kept the room too warm so we turned radiators off. Couldn’t open windows as 24hour petrol station one side and an industrial unit the other. Shaggy rugs on top of the carpet were unnecessary and must be impossible to keep clean with multiple use from other visitors. Drinks expensive and dinner overpriced. Breakfast was amazing and beautifully presented.

Lovely place with fantastic staff. Located near a busy junction so was a bit noisy but nothing major. A bit out of town and we struggled to get a taxi but the staff managed to get us one in the end. Great breakfast.

Nice food, roadside room noisy, WiFi a problem
Friendly staff, nice food, erratic WiFi (my phone was eventually fine on it after initial probs, my laptop couldn't ever get on and partner's phone wouldn't go on after first evening). We had a roadside room which was a nice room but very very noisy as the road was so busy and only single glazing due to being an old property

Was just ok.....
Great location. First impressions were good, we arrived and went to check in, not obvious where to go, no signage. I explained to a gentleman that we'd like to check in, ask our name and then took us to our room, no warmth of welcome.......Our room was The Onny which was small but adequate. Unfortunately this room overlooks the flat roof and yard of the kitchen, with a huge air extractor on the roof, which of course was noisey with a constant hum. I mentioned this when we went to dinner to the same gentleman, along with an issue that the temperature gauge on the shower which was beyond stiff. I had to ask my husband to come and alter this. No real response or interest really. Dinner was ok - nothing out of the ordinary, again no interest from any of the staff we encountered from dinner through to breakfast. It's a shame as the pub is nice it could be so much more with a smiley engaging team. This might be the norm for the area, but for a local pub with rooms I chose this rather than a city hotel to get a friendly service. The only positive interaction was a very cheerful housekeeping lady who wished us a nice day as we left our room.

Very friendly welcome, all information given on check in, room clean and comfortable, staff very warm and friendly. Had starters and nibbles, plenty of well cooked food, just what we wanted. Some traffic through the night but to be expected on a crossroad, ear plugs provided and a fan but we didn’t need to use either. Good breakfast times and an excellent hearty breakfast, brilliant service from a very lovely waitress. Would highly recommend hence 5 stars

Short break
The room was spacious and the bed comfortable. The food was good and reasonably priced but service was rather slow. One negative point, over which the hotel has no control, is the stream of lorries passing to the side of the property. The noise was intrusive, even with the windows closed. Helpfully, the hotel supplied disposable earplugs for night-time.

An excellent night’s stopover.
We spent an overnight stop there on the way to the Forest of Dean. Sunday evening and the restaurant was quite busy. I had the best roast pork there in a long time. The breakfast was also excellent with my wife, who is a veggie, rating it 10/10.

Noisy night and busy location
So, this is a difficult review to write as the cleanliness was v good , the staff were very helpful and the food was good . However there were significant things which affected our experience . There was a very large extractor unit outside out window which meant there was considerable noise all night . Ear plugs were provided in the room so this must be a common problem . In addition the Hotel is situated right next to a very brightly lit fuel garage , which was my husband’s view while we ate in the restaurant. It seemed impossible to avoid until I closed the blinds at which point we could both relax . These things are important to point out when making your selection of places to stay . I would have chosen a different hotel if i had been made aware

I particularly like the breakfast which was superb. The room was very comfortable and very clean. The pub is set back from the A49 which makes it noisy at the peak hours but it is also very convenient.

3rd stay at the Salway arms
Great place to stay , friendly staff , good food and close to Ludlow . Only downside is the roads around the hotel are very busy and there is a fair amount of traffic noise but this would not deter us from staying again.

Would stay again but in a different room
Stayed in ONNY Room, also known as the “Hobbits” room, due to the bedroom doorway being 5 ft tall with a deep step into the room. I’m 6’2, yes I did bang and cut my head. The room is small but clean, the shower is over the bath, could do with a handrail to assist stepping out of the bath. Outside the bedroom windows are the extractor fans for the kitchen, earplugs are provided in the bedside draws by the hotel. The rooms were not serviced during the 4 day stay, apparently conforming with Covid rules, but not experienced that in other establishments. Nice bar area, sitting room( snug room) and outside seating. Plenty of free car parking. The breakfast is excellent, the staff are all more than helpful, evening meals were good but fish and chips rather over cooked not recommended, the chunky chips were just ordinary chips. Would perhaps stay again but definitely in a different room. The road outside the Salwey is extremely busy with many HGVs .
A five foot doorway, watch the big step down as you go in.
