Albright Hussey Manor Hotel
Latest Reviews
We had our works Christmas do here for 30+ people and we stayed the night.
Front of house staff were lovely and welcoming, but that is all I can really say nice about our stay.
Our room was like something out of the 70/80s very twee and old-fashioned. Quilt cover had a rip in it. Bath looked old, faint smell of cigarette smoke. No soap, shower gel etc in the bathroom - to help save the planet apparently - you could request some at reception.
We were woken about 6am by what I assume was some kind of water cistern behind one of the bedroom walls that sounded like a plane going over head.
The party. Arrival time was stated as 7pm and most (about 180) turned up about then. We were all crowded into the bar which wasn't big enough and soon warmed up to a very uncomfortable temperature. They eventually let us in at 8pm. Drinks were astronomically expensive - £7.50 for a pint £8.20 for a Baileys or a large glass of wine (£25+ by the bottle) and £7.20 for a pint of coke!!!.
The main course wasn't served until after 9pm and my beef was dry and tasteless, though others who had the turkey said it wasn't bad. And my Xmas pudding was dry too.
All in all not somewhere I would ever go again and certainly don't know where it gets it 4 star rating from. I did voice most of my complaints to reception before leaving.

We had a lovely Sunday roast dinner with family for mum's birthday celebration. Nothing was too much trouble, and the food was excellent. Thank you, on behalf of Carol Beaman, for making it such a special occasion.

Check in was straightforward and staff available to help. Room looks a bit old fashioned but really liked the bathroom as well lit with spacious bath. Room supplies were ample.

We (large group of friends), visited Albright Hussey for NYE. It was absolutely fantastic! 3 of us Gluten-free and for the first time ever, we felt as special as everyone else 🥰. The food was incredible, the service second to none, they honestly couldn't have done anymore. We had a fabulous night and cannot thank the staff enough for all their hard work including the DJ who did a great job!
The rooms get a 4 stars because they are not the main attraction of this hotel and there's room for improvement however, I would return and stay here over and over.

Great party venue. Food was very, very good especially for a large party. Disco was not bad. The service was good and beer choice okay. Rooms were present and very clean. Would recommend for any function. Outside gardens were beautiful and they even had two black swans.

Washed ashore here with other stranded souls following cancellation of all trains out of Shrewsbury. Turned out to be a great evening.

The hotel is well priced and looks amazing from the outside the bar area is good and fairly modern compared to the rest of the hotel, the breakfast room and the corridors are period fitting, the bedrooms are comfy although it feels a little dated, I stayed mid week for work and would stay again if I was in the area but I would say the restaurant needs a bit of updating or some better lighting from the dark panelling. It’s a lovely setting and there are good transport / taxi links into the local town for activities or other restaurants if your staying for a few nights

Beautiful old hotel in the countryside. Surrounded by fields and a lovely walk to Battlefield farm shop.
Very close to Shrewsbury town centre. We parked at Battlefield park and ride which was really convenient.
Stayed at the hotel for a private party. Function tool was lovely.

Definitely not deserving of 4 star rating- this hotel is desperate for an upgrade. The TV is tiny and had very poor channel choices. The driveway gives a good impression then you are completely let down. Everything needs review and upgrade.

Staff friendly, very peaceful and value for money

A beautiful venue, with friendly and efficient service. However, we were given a 'bijou' room, which was so cramped we could not open the wardrobe doors and drawers properly, as there was very little space between the front of the wardrobe and the side of the bedside table - had to squeeze items in and just kept some in the suitcase. TV was tiny - one attempt to turn it on failed, but it wasn't an issue for us. Window looked out on a farm, with horses, which was quiet and peaceful. Bathroom was lovely, with plenty of hot water; but my pillows were the lumpiest I've ever seen! So uncomfortable I could not sleep properly, and with or without pillows had a neck and headache. I think we were unlucky on this occasion, as the rest of the hotel was amazing and beautiful. I would suggest visitors check the room before booking if they can.

We had our wedding at the Hussey and Paul and the team were amazing throughout. We met with Paul and the team on many occasions prior to the day and they helped us to plan and make the day very special. Our guests also loved the venue and we couldn’t recommend the venue enough. The team made sure the day was exactly as we needed, the food was great and everyone couldn’t speak highly enough about the Hussey.

Okay, so Shrewsbury is not the easiest place to stay on a budget. At the time of booking perversely, the Albright Hussey was over a hundred pounds cheaper over the two nights than a Premier Inn or Travelshed. The room i was is was quirky, there were 2 single beds and the bathroom was bigger than the bedroom. Getting back late in tge evening, the main room lightswitch is at the bottom of the stairs that go up to the bedroom, when you get upstairs, theres no switch to turn off the main light, so you have to go back down the stairs, turn off the light, then use the torch function to go back up to bed. The towel rail fell off the wall in the bathroom, (Wrong rawlplugs for a plasterboard wall and too short screws) and the foot fell off the corby trouser press when i moved it to get the to the plugs behind. The bathroom was straight out of Versaille. As i say, quirky.
