I stayed at the Bucks Head while cycling the Marcher Castles Way with a group of friends. The accommodation was very comfortable and we were made to feel very welcome despite arriving very late. The staff were very helpful about storing our bikes securely overnight. Breakfast was great and in general this was a good value and pleasant place to stay.

No kitchen open on Mondays but we were encouraged to get a takeaway nearby and bring it back to the pub.

I stayed for one evening in Church Stretton for a wedding, and I had a lovely stay at The Buck’s Head. The room was very spacious, with a large comfortable bed, table and chairs, TV and hot drinks facilities which was everything I needed. Good size bathroom completed what was a nice, vintage style room with exposed beams and rustic furnishings. I parked my car in the car park opposite (Co-Op) where you can pay for the day, and is free on Sundays (at time of my stay). I could see the car from my window so wasn’t far to unload my suitcase. I chose my breakfast items upon arrival, and the next morning, went down to breakfast where my selection was cooked up. There was a nice selection of cereals, yogurts and pastries to enjoy also, but the cooked breakfast was delicious. Sarah was a wonderful host running a lovely pub, and I’d certainly recommend this Inn to anyone thinking of staying a few nights in Church Stretton.

We had a really good stay at the Bucks Head. The location is great - really central to where we needed to do. The manageress was so friendly and helpful. Room was really big and spacious - new beds were really comfy. Lots of choice for a generous breakfast. Locals in the pub were really friendly - we made the most of the beer garden and also watched the football together. A really great weekend thank you!

Having only arrived as a team relatively recently at the time of our visit in May 2024, the hosts/landlords were still settling in themselves and (as they told us) they still had one or two repairs to make and wrinkles to sort out. That said, although because of those wrinkles we haven't been able to give them an excellent rating for the facilities or comfort, the hotel was still more than good enough. The lady of the house was extremely pleasant and very helpful and Breakfast was better than OK.

The front door to the overnight accommodation couldn't be opened without help from inside at the time of our visit (!) - and that needs to be fixed urgently; in addition the WIFI set-up needs to be made clearer through a note in the room.

Lovely pub. Room was clean and had everything we needed. In the perfect location. Car park over the road. Which is free from 6pm to 8am. If you don't want to be running out of the hotel in your PJ's at 8am to pay for later parking. You can pay after 6pm. We went back to the car park after 6pm paid for 3 hours which took us two 11am. Parking is only 60 pence and hour.

It was all lovely

I had a large room at the front of the hotel that was comfortable to relax in. Once you have checked in you don't have to go through the bar - there is a separate hotel entrance that you get a key to. The staff are very friendly. The location is right in the centre of this pretty town. I parked overnight on the street outside but there is also a public car park nearby.

Only a short walk from the railway station. I liked my room, spacious and very comfortable. I had the best scrambled eggs and mushrooms ever for breakfast, very tasty. Sarah was absolutely fabulous. I only stayed for one night, but I am planning to return in June, hopefully for a couple of nights this time. I highly recommend this beautiful little place.

Nothing, everything was perfect

Well cooked traditional breakfast. Lovely hosts friendly and welcoming. Hosts accommodated our needs and were happy to provide an extra bed for our child in our large double room. Very helpful.

We were in a room above the pub area and noise does filter through as it's an old building and a pub accommodation. Other rooms may be quieter in the evening. Extremely quiet after 11pm- not even traffic noise from main road. Basic but comfortable accommodation.

The host's were lovely. The rooms were very clean. We had a lovely breakfast. Would definitely stay here again.The position was central. The public car park is opposite is free from 6 pm till 8 am. We arrived at 3 pm. So put £2 in the meter That paid parking up till 6 o'clock. As long as you go back to the meter after 6 o'clock pm you can then pay for parking for the next day. We put another £ 3 in that then gave us parking till 11 am. So very reasonable..😊

Evi was lovely

Bucks Head is situated in the centre of Church Stretton, perfectly placed either for climbing Long Mynd, immediately behind, or exploring the pretty town. The rooms are well appointed, warm on cold days and nights, clean and spacious. We received a warm welcome on arrival and found the bar area to be lively and inviting. Breakfast was great. We thoroughly recommend.
