#Repost @thecastlehotelbishopscastle ・・・ Visit Shropshire and support local businesses ❤ As many of you may have seen Shropshire has been in the headlines the last few weeks due to unprecedented flooding. Shrewsbury town centre, Ludlow and Ironbridge have all been affected along with rural parts of the county. Water levels are now going down and many businesses have begun the big clean up operation. Fortunately Bishops Castle is situated on high ground surrounded by the beautiful rolling hills therefore we have been unaffected by the floods but our heart goes out to all our friends and local businesses that have been. So as a result we would like to try and support these businesses get back on their feet by making an effort to increase tourism in the area. That's why were offering our biggest spring sale ever! Book a midweek stay from 1st March until 19th March and receive a massive 55% off our standard rates. Shropshire has so much to offer from exceptional walks to small independent shops selling everything from a nice hot coffee to hand crafted art. So give us a call to book your stay, you'll not only be supporting us but helping Shropshire recover 🌏 ...
