It is located just two miles from junction 7 of the M54 motorway which gives it excellent communication links to the Midlands and Shrewsbury.

At ground floor is a well appointed traditional pub popular with all sectors of the community which also acts as a venue bar/live entertainments venue on the weekend. At first floor is a select cocktail bar and restaurant known as Carriages in two sections and at second floor there are seven high quality en suite letting bedrooms.
