4 days/3 nights starting end April. PUB/B&B, not camping. Having looked at the route, our current plan is:
-start at Much Wenlock (close to home)
-Night 1: Ludlow-probably stay in Ludlow which'll be more expensive but I really like the place.
-Night 2: Newtown or close. Montgomery too far (shame as there looks a fab place there). Might tweak route if needed
-Night 3: Church Stretton.
Requirements: Twin Rooms, somewhere to store bikes. If not in a pub, close to a pub!
Newtown looks the trickiest. could start further south so we could stay in Montgomery but that makes N3 a bit trickier. We're looking to do 80km ish a day on Hardtails. Other reason for starting Much Wenlock as last day less climbing.
Any recommendations? Ta.
Option B: is Knighton N1: Mont, N2: Shrewsbury N3: Cleobury North (where there is 1 small pub!)
I’m “local” so I’ve not stopped in any of the pubs etc.
if you want to stay in Montgomery (which is a nice place) then push on from Newtown to Garthmyll along the canal. It’s flat and pretty. Then it’s only a 3-4 k and one lump in to Montgomery.
ludlow- is very geared towards tourists so check what’s on. Might help with pricing.
+1 for Montgomery, an interesting place with a castle overlooking the town, I have always fancied staying at this hotel there myself--
I've eaten in the Dragon Hotel in Montgomery, was very happy with the meal. Can't speak for the accommodation
Thanks- booked the Dragon at Montgomery, a lovely old manor house just outside Shrewsbury and about the only pub near the Wreckin. Day 2 looks an absolute beast so hoping the beds are comfy and the beer is cold when we finally roll in after that!
Thread hijack...what about campsites?
The dollau inn, just out of Newtown is a great pub. It has a bunk house, which has two rooms of 4 but is pretty basic. There is free camping for anagallis tho

You're on your own there 🙂
But in cycle.travel website there is a handy feature where it will show you accommodation (including camping) close to where you put in your overnight stops. It's how I found a couple of the places we booked.
