17th Century Coaching Inn. Local landmark it stands at the junction of the Telford road meeting the Bridgnorth-Shrewsbury road. Has a number of different rooms catering for all types of customers. It also has a beautiful walled garden and terrace.

This hotel has re-opened following internal refurbishment, which has not changed the attractive nature of the building, but enhanced the decoration and furnishings. There is a new menu, including breakfasts, which are also available for take-away. Exterior work is planned for September 2025, and it is hoped that this will not mean another temporary closure

Regency built hotel of red brick on the site of Rindleford Hall of which the stone foundations remain. It was bought by W Butler & Co. of Wolverhampton in 1960 who carried out a full renovation and remarkably the bar fittings have been retained virtually unchanged. The small back bar has an old dado painted dark brown, a bar counter of wood panels with metal studs and an inlaid top of brown Formica, a bar-back fitting with a number of glass shelves, a good carved wood fireplace which may date from 1960, but some fixed seating was removed in recent years.

The front lounge bar is in two parts either side of a back-to-back stone fireplace. The left-hand part has a distinctive bar counter front with three large highly polished brass panels that look like mirrors, brass strips at the bottom and a top with inlaid Formica. There is a bar back fitting similar to the public bar one with inlaid Formica main shelf. The passage between the two bars has a split door to the servery with the wording 'Garden Service' on the top part as it is situated opposite a red-tiled passage leading to the garden. The reception opposite the car park entrance has a quarter circle counter of the same design as the one in the public bar. There is a dining room on the front left that is served from a hatch on the left of the servery
