Albright Hussey Manor Hotel
Latest Reviews
As we arrived the day before our nephews wedding ,we had a lovely helpful welcome, nothing seemed to much from lady at reception. Meal on the evening was fantastic , fish and chips , to which I have never seen a fish so big !!.we was in room 12 , the newer part of hotel, a lovely clean cosy room , plenty of wardrobe space seating , table and dressing table, with free wifi. Hotel was clean and gardens were lovely. The bed was comfy, and the room adequate for two to move around comfortably, but if it's peace and quiet you want. Room 12 , which is over the main entrance door, isant for you . As it was hot , and needed window open , it was very noisy and people would smoke near the entrance , The wedding was organised wonderfully.
So even though I would visit again , the only criticism would be that a fridge would be useful on hot days to put cold drinks in. And to stress to guests that there was a designated smoking area, away from quest bedroom windows please .

We got booked this venue after seeing the stunning and unique manor and gardens back in 2015. David showed us round and cemented our decision on this being the most perfect place for our special day. All the staff at Albright were so helpful and friendly; nothing was ever too much trouble. From booking through to organising and the day itself was flawless, this place really does have it all. We were eager to get married outside in the beautiful grounds (which we did) and was assured a decision can be made 15 minutes prior to the ceremony- most places are 2 hours! So although it drizzled with rain in the morning, the team ensured we had our perfect day (even supplied brollies just in case!) and we got married outside. Paul dealt with many of our queries and really put us at ease during the arranging of the wedding and the day itself! Even the night before the wedding, we were treated like the only people at the hotel and the team (especially Malcolm!) couldn't do more for us. No query was too much trouble and we were so safe in the knowledge that everything would be just right. All of our guests commented on how gorgeous our venue was, how amazing the team were and how delicious the food was! Herbie car was a fantastic and thoughtful edition by Paul and we truly enjoyed every moment. We had the most amazing day and really couldn't have wished for more. A dream venue with a dream team!
Thank you so much for all your guidance, reassurance and catering for our ever need to make our day more than perfect!!!!

Nice hotel and staff who cannot do enough to help, especially in resteraunt . The food was hot and very enjoyable , even if not perfect. Having a lobster scallop and bass main, the lobster was almost missing and what there was was rubbery and over cooked. Then the desert was 3 ice creams described as sticky toffee, lemon curd and eaton mess. Again it was lovely except one of the ice creams was strawberry . Just a shame it wasn't described better on menu or the waiting staff knowing there was a substitution. But that said neither issues spoiled what was a lovely meal.

The Albright is a lovely property with lovely employees. After a four hour drive being greeted by Kirsten at reception with a warm sunny smile was the perfect welcome. Nothing was too much trouble and it turned a business trip into what felt like a mini holiday. Dinner was delicious with fantastic service. Javier is a total sweetheart, after great service the night before with dinner, to be so well looked after in the morning when I was running late made all the difference to my day. Thank you both, the difference they both made to my trip was greatly appreciated. If you are in Shrewsbury, I highly recommend staying here

Last weekend I got married here.
The staff were so helpful and organised that I realised I needn't be so thorough with our plans as they had everything all in order. The rooms are stunning. I stayed in the Royalist suite with my sister the evening before the wedding then the Hussey suite with my new husband.
I saw lots of other rooms too as had lots of family friends stay both nights and they were all stunning.
The staff were briiliant, so helpful. We had it booked for 18 months prior to the day and they were brilliant with 18 months worth of constant emails and questions.
I really can't say anything bad. All staff were so helpful. The rooms and grounds were beautiful and everybody had an amazing time and all commented that the service was impeccable.
My husband and I plan to comeback for a few times in the future thinking afternoon tea and of course maybe our 1st Anniversary.
Thank all staff, you made the happiest day of our lives so special we really appreciate it. Xx

This stay was for 1 night staying for a friends wedding. Have stayed here before for a previous wedding. On both occasions check in and out was very easy and it is easy to navigate around the hotel.
Lovely ceremony and well organised. Wedding breakfast was perfect, but breakfast was very average not much selection.
Only negative comment would be that we were in the separate building where the washers and dryers were, which sounded like they were on constantly and staff talking loudly first thing in the morning. I understand they have a job to do, but there was no need to be so loud.
Our previous stay was better as we were not as close to the laundry room and actually had a better nights sleep.

Stayed 2 nights here for my son's wedding. Friendly happy staff, stunning venue. Our room was spacious & very comfortable. Saw the bridal suite too, which is amazing. The grounds are so lovely,lots of places to sit outside for coffee or a drink & chat. Play area for children too. The breakfast was delicious, lots of choice for every taste. Would recommend this hotel to anyone.

We had a 3 night stay to attend a wedding. Our hotel stay was lovely, with our 3 children we stayed in a family suite which was very spacious. The breakfast had a good continental selection. Cooked breakfast was self service and ran efficiently with smaller quantities of fresh hot food that was topped up regularly.
The weather was very kind to us so we made the most of the garden and patio for evening drinks. There was a play area which the children enjoyed. A wedding took place on all three nights of our stay but the dining room and a further bar did not interfer with our stay. Our room was above the function room so this impacted on our ability to get to sleep (mainly due to the heat and not wanting to open the windows for noise). But we were informed of this prior to our stay.
The wedding day was perfect, the food was lovely, the evening BBQ was amazing with plenty of choice.
The function room was well sized with it's own private garden and plenty of seating for all to enjoy.
The hotel does weddings very well and is the perfect setting.
Most importantly our 3 children aged 6-11 years felt comfortable and safe around the hotel. This meant they were able to make their own way safely around the hotel, which made our stay even more enjoyable!
It makes me feel sad that I do have negative comments, but some of the staff at times were a little abrupt. When serving the wedding breakfast there was a lack of please and thank you's, and when waiting at a deserted bar many staff passed through the room without once checking if we were being served or informing us of how long we'd expect to wait. The receptionist who greeted us mentioned she was new, but was not quite familiar with the running of the computer system and could not answer a simple question about breakfast. I'm sure the staff were very busy but I felt uncomfortable at these times.

We've just come back from an overnight stay. The service from the moment we stepped into reception was impressive. Everyone was friendly, helpful, efficient and knowledgeable. The training of the restaurant staff was exemplary.
The menu was imaginative and the cooked breakfast items were all freshly prepared.

If like me you are put off by a room price of £85, in this case have no fear. My room was entirely comfortable, clean, quiet and with a good view. But what makes this place special is the food. Punching way above its weight the chef is turning out some really good food and the quality of the breakfast ingredients was absolutely top notch. Very friendly staff too. This is generally not an expensive area to stay and really good hotels are hard to find but this is quite a find.

We have been here 4 times for afternoon tea, and whilst it was very nice and good value our trip last week was not as good. Normally we get tea, coffee sandwiches, scones with jam and cream plus a selection of smaller cakes but no smaller cakes this time and the bread was not the best. There was a wedding going on at the same time and only our booking for 5 people for tea so perhaps the wedding was the priority.
I would go again to see if it was a 1 off

Located in very pretty countryside. Really great looking hotel. Staff = totally professional, pleasant and low key. Really fab room. Nice views from room. Only downside = no lift above 1st floor. Not a prob for us but could be for others.

We cruised up the drive and were greeted by our welcoming host, the incomparable Malcom. Within a few minutes we were ensconced in a wonderful and spacious suite. This was in the new part of the hotel and it had been decorated in the same Elizabethan style as the older rooms.
The restaurant setting was perfect and the staff attentive and the food was superb.
We stayed for four days and were very sad to be leaving.
We will be back.
Thankyou Albright Hussey for another marvellous stay.

This is the first time we have stayed in this hotel - the staff are exceptional, polite and probably the most professional that we have met. They all seem to enjoy working here and it shows, nothing is too much trouble and every one of them had time for a smile, and a welcoming hello. The room which we were in was a little dated but clean with lovely large fresh towels and an amazing view from the windows. Plenty of tea and coffee and complimentary water which was a nice touch. The hotel is really quirky old world fashion, (hopefully they will keep it like this) the grounds are beautiful there was a wedding on and they pulled out all the stops it looked lovely. We asked to see other rooms and this was no trouble at all we were shown around the old part of the hotel and the newly refurbished rooms. Food was fabulous menu with great choices - breakfast lovely. i can't find any fault with the hotel at all. Malcolm the manager is a super guy and all the staff are a credit to the hotel. May be they should invite other hotels in the area to come and see how it is done.

Came to this venue for a friends wedding yesterday. Everything was brilliant, food, staff, rooms. The wedding ceremony was outside in a lovely setting and the bride and groom were looked after very well. Not too far away from Shrewsbury town centre too, taxis are reasonably priced.

The Albrighton Hussey is a class place to stay. The grounds and environment are so relaxing. But what makes the Albrighton Hussey so special are the staff. Everybody is so friendly and nothing is any trouble. We have stayed there several times and the food is excellent. A special thanks to Javier who makes you feel so welcome whilst maintaining very high professional standards.

We attended a small intimate wedding today and everything was perfect. The setting was beautiful, service personal and food delicious. The staff were so helpful. Try this hotel for Sunday lunch as well.

Great hotel, great service, great food, great area. Hotel manager dropped us in the centre of Shrewbury on his way home to save us getting a taxi. Full of knowledge about the hotel and area, what a lovely man. Would stay at this hotel again, Shrewsbury food festival is excellent and this hotel is a great place to combine a weekend away.

As we approached the hotel a pair of black swans welcomed us. Our twin bedded room was large enogh that we could move around without bumping into each other. An extra large bathroom with easy to use fixtures and safety bars in the shower and by the toilet work well. Anyone with mobility issues could manage with a ground floor room. A nice lounge area ( Try the Shrewsbury Lager) and excellent food in the dining room round out a visit. Knowledgeable staff and a welcomong glass of sherry await you at checking. Depending on your preference the out if town location may be good or bad. Ideal for a quiet night, not so good for those who like to walk through a new place and see the sights in the evening or before breakfast.

Prior to booking I had read the reviews which were on the whole very encouraging. However, when we arrived we were welcomed and directed to or 'Executive room'. Appreciating that it was a very old building with lovely features however, our bed was possibly as old as the hotel as it was very uncomfortable; the bathroom had many broken tiles which gave a poor impression.We chose to eat in the restaurant , the service was excellent as was the food which continued through to breakfast.
Overall it is a pleasant hotel but located no where close to walk to , unlikely to revisit as Shrewsbury is very limited on what it has to offer.

Stayed here last night as part of a wedding party and was very impressed with everything the hotel has to offer.
Our room was comfortable and tastefully furnished with plenty of wardrobe space and hangers. The usual tea and coffee making facilities are at hand and everything is up to a good 4 star hotel standard.
The most memorable aspect of the hotel is the location and historic nature of the building. The breakfast room is in the old part of the hotel, with exposed beams and open fireplaces. The breakfast itself was plentiful and fresh with staff serving toast and tea. I had some great scrambled eggs and other hot food is cooked to order.
Our wedding meal was very good and the service was efficient and friendly throughout. We found all the staff excellent, from reception to bar staff to cleaners and management.
The wedding party was a huge success, certainly aided by the choice of venue and the professionalism of all the staff. A further pleasant surprise was the reasonable room rates and the prices at the bar - not the exorbitant costs charged by some hotels.
This is a memorable, well run and delightful hotel - highly recommended.

Recently visited this little gem for the first time and cannot wait to go back. This place is tucked away from the hustle and bustle of city life, and is the perfect place to get away and relax. The staff are outstanding! From the moment we walked through the door they couldn't do enough for us, especially Malcolm who is a cracking fella and very good company. Now I've eaten at a lot of restaurants over the years and the food here is up with the best restaurants I've been to. Everything from the starters, to the desserts was fantastic, and the service from the restaurant manger was 1st class. The room was clean and well set out, no complaints at all. The building itself is very impressive, and like I said at the start its a great place to go and relax and enjoy good food and good service. Can't wait to go back.

Wanted somewhere special for a 90th birthday celebration. Disabled parking bay is close to the reception door. Often hotels provide ground floor rooms but then there is a long walk to the public areas. The hotel itself is quite compact that this was not an issue. The room was light and airy with plenty of space in the bathroom to accommodate someone in a wheelchair. The food was excellent, service attentive, certainly better than a Michelin starred restaurant I had recently been to. Main thing was everyone enjoyed themselves and would come back again.
