Albright Hussey Manor Hotel
Latest Reviews
We stayed in the hotel 20-22 Feb 2017. On arrival, we received a warm welcome. The staff were really friendly and very helpful, particularly in the bar & restaurant (Malcolm & Zoe). We had a good recently decorated room which was clean and comfortable (included a four poster bed). Breakfast offered the usual range of cold and hot dishes of good quality.
We had a Travelzoo 1 night deal voucher for two people which included: superior room, breakfast and a 5 course tasting menu for dinner. Because the deal worked out cheaper than booking a room for a second night with breakfast and dinner, we got 2 of the Travelzoo deal vouchers and stayed 2 nights. We were advised on booking that the 5 course tasting menu would be the same both nights, but we thought that would be ok. On arriving at the restaurant for dinner, we were offered a glass of Champagne (or any other drink) as this was part of the deal - nice surprise as we weren't aware of that. The 5 course menu was very good, but the manager (Malcolm) was concerned about us having the same again the next night and offered free choice of the a la carte menu. We decided to stick with the 5 course menu. He said he would speak to the chef about changing some of the dishes. The second night, Malcolm informed us that the chef had prepared a completely different 5 course tasting menu, which turned out to be absolutely delicious. For me, that was a sign of a really good hotel. They aim to make your stay as comfortable and enjoyable as possible. I'd have no hesitation in booking there again.

I have been staying at the hotel for the last 18 months on average between 2 and 4 nights per week. I can honestly say that the staff team to name a few: the general manager Malcolm, Zoe, Vicky, Liam, Javier, David, Terri, Kirstyn, Amy and Heidi are exceptional in every way. Being a female living in hotels in the week can be rather daunting but I love staying at the Albright, so much so my husband and I have stayed when on holiday. The team are personable without being obtrusive, they remember little things that make my stay so much easier. The food is to a very high standard and the rooms are so very comfortable what is not to like. Thank you

We stayed here for one night on a Travelzoo offer of £139 for bed and breakfast and a 5 course tasting menu. This was mentioned quite loudly on several occasions! The hotel is clearly a well used wedding venue, and is set up for this. There is the original Tudor house, a 17th century with large panelled restaurant room and a modern addition with bedrooms. The room was nice, not large but okay for a weekend. Room 8 had views of the countryside but caught the wind going round the building. As it was a gusty night we were both woken up by howling wind noise a couple of times. Walls are quite thin, we could hear every word of a conversation in the corridor so noisy guests may be a problem. The staff at the hotel were excellent, friendly, attentive and knowledgeable. The 5 course tasting dinner, with free glass of champagne, was delicious. Much of the food is local, the beef was beautiful and cooked to perfection. Even my vegetable phobic husband ate the celeriac and spinach soup. Breakfast was generous, the local bacon was delicious but as the food was kept in hot containers it did get slightly over cooked. Masses of toast, which was brought without checking what we wanted. Less toast but investing in a cappuccino machine would be my advice. Plenty of choice in cereals, juice etc. After breakfast we walked round the local battlefield site and went to 1403, an exhibition room about the battle and a lovely farmshop and cafe. We managed to find some of the bacon we had had for breakfast. Overall a very pleasant and relaxing stay.

Spent two nights here for our wedding anniversary. Very romantic and full of character. We stayed midweek in a main house suit and although a little old fashioned it made up in atmosphere. Dining was very good in the cozy restaurant and bar.
Our only concern was that it might be a bit noisy when there is a wedding on.
We cant understand how some reviews say it is dirty and scruffy and wonder if they are writing about the same hotel

Went with a friend for afternoon tea in January. Found the temperature to be on the cool side in the room we were allocated. The sandwiches and scones were adequate but we got what we were given rather than having a choice. The waiter was very foreign and stiff in his approach. Didn't enjoy it very much and it was expensive for what was received.

Invited here for a party on a Saturday night so we stayed an extra night and were not disappointed. The whole building was spotless, the public rooms very atmospheric. The bedroom and as far as I could tell and the adjoining rooms were newly refurbished to a very high standard. The meal provided for our party of 18 on the Saturday evening was absolutely wonderful. The staff from receptionists to cleaners and waiters were all very friendly and worked well together in a very friendly atmosphere.
The breakfasts were well presented with a large choice and very appetising. Will certainly stay here again if visiting the area.

We had a warm welcome by Malcolm and his team and were shown to our room which was very clean, just a little disappointed it was in the new section but nonetheless very comfortable with a good view over the fields. Our dinner was fantastic along with the dining room itself. The breakfast and breakfast staff were not up to the same standard as the dining experience and dampened our enthusiasm.

We would highly recommend a meal here. What an absolute pleasure! Malcolm and Javier welcomed us for a 5 course taster menu (dinner) in the restaurant on Saturday evening.
The food was delicious and the service excellent. The devotion and passion for the food and the ambiance is overflowing. It is rare to find this attention to detail for such a modest price. More over to find people who clearly love their work, and want to please you for all the right reasons.
The accommodation is welcoming, although a little tired, but this is more than made up for in atmosphere. Not in the slightest bit "chainy" - the experience was faultless.
We will certainly be returning.

Visited on a quiet day / night . Room was clean and adequate for the price paid . Food was of a good standard - cooked breakfast was high quality with good additional selection of fruit , pastries etc..

Comfortable room but for the price probably not the best value for money. Our room was a little tired and the bathroom likewise. Breakfast was okay but again no wow factor and you would expect a little more for the money.

Stayed here a few weeks ago on business and liked it so much came back for pleasure. A great base to explore the Shropshire countryside. The restaurant serves a varied menu which sources local produce and the cheese board is great, sadly not all available though.

Large and well decorated venue with very professional and courteous staff. Played a gig there for a charity event and all the guests were very happy with the food and arrangements. Would heavily recommend for any large social events or important occasions.

Fantastic hotel set in glorious scenario. Service was first class, could not fault the service at evening meal and breakfast. Rooms were very well appointed clean and comfy. Lovely old world charm, highly recommended

Great place, found at short notice. Very friendly and helpful staff, lovely room and superb breakfast. Some noisy plumbing from next door room, but that might well be just our room as we had booked with very short notice. A great find, close to Shrewsbury.

I got married here. The staff and venue were phenomenal and made sure everything went brilliantly. The value for money was excellent and the food fantastic. Can't recommend it enough.

Very traditional hotel in a lovely old manor. Very helpful and friendly staff and the food is delicious in the restaurant. However, portions provided to guests attending a wedding dinner aren't nearly as tasty or filling.

We have been going to the Albright Hussey Manor for five years now. We find the hotel very friendly and the food excellent. Nothing seems to be any trouble. The setting and countryside makes the hotel a very relaxing stay.
