We stayed here overnight as our friends got married here.
It really is a beautiful place, perfect for a wedding.
The wedding took place outside in the manor grounds with champagne served outside and then inside for the wedding meal.
The food was great, we had a three course meal and every course was good.
Staff were friendly and our 20 month old was catered for with half portions, highchairs and travel cots provided.
Morning breakfast was good with choice of hot and continental food.
Our room was lovely, clean and quite spacious .
Would recommend especially for weddings .

We have visited this hotel on numerous occasions to celebrate family occasions - birthdays, mother's day anniversaries etc. It is always our first choice for special events and we are never disappointed with the service, food or ambience in the hotel. The manager, Malcolm is an absolute delight!! He is always so friendly, welcoming and helpful; he keeps us all entertained with his witty jokes and stories. We were very surprised recently to learn that he was the manager and not the owner of the hotel; what lucky owners to have such a dedicated, charming and committed gentleman as front of house for their establishment.
We would recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a beautiful venue, charming ambience and wonderfully welcoming staff.

My friends wedding was amazing. The grounds are beautiful. The staff work so hard and the bar prices are reasonable. We stayed in room 6 on the ground floor and it was very nice. Nice little touches such as water in bottles and a note from the house keeper. The breakfast was yummy. I had fruit and continental and hubby had fry up. Thank you so much for making us feel welcome and giving my friend the wedding she deserved

Very nice venue with lovely grounds, staff were very accommodating, nothing was ever too much trouble, the rooms were very nice and the wedding food and breakfast was great. The sausages were probably the best we've ever had (true story...) Dont forget to look out for the black swans!

we went to the annual vape meet in Shrewsbury and I wanted to make this weekend a bit special - and special it was :
room : spotless clean - thank you also for giving us room no 7 close to the entrance and with the huge shower, very suited for somebody disabled
staff : many thanks to Mr Brewster and his team - Noor, Javier and the others, whose names I don,t know, so friendly and efficient, they could not do enough for us
food : excellent
location : just beautiful - a little tip : if your satnav says, that you have reached the destination and you see only fields, you are on the right track, just follow the small road for about a mile and you will be there :-)
will we be back ? - certainly

Stayed here at the end of July as I was looking for a place to hold my 60th birthday in November and was considering this place as it looked nice on their website.
Lucky I decided to try this place out beforehand. As I stated the place looks charming from the outside and the restaurant menu looks like it would be an interesting place to eat.
We arrived on Sunday evening, went to our bedrooms to relax before coming down to dinner...What a disappointment! The menu we were presented with bore no relation to the one advertised on their website or the one in the brochure in our rooms!
Instead of a choice of 8 starters and mains, we were given a menu which offered starters of either Soup, Melon, Risotto or Smoked Salmon
The mains offered were Roast beef, roast pork, roast lamb, battered Pollock or a vegetarian tart. Desserts were as basic as the rest of the menu. I commented that this was not what was advertised. I was told that on a Sunday evening, they just repeat the Sunday lunch-time menu. If I'd known this then I would have avoided booking. However this was just the start. The following morning I happened to notice that there was a stain on the mattress. When I pulled the sheet back, I was confronted by a mattress with six large stains across it, and not only that, but on the other side of the bed the mattress was ripped!
After breakfast I complained at reception and insisted that I was to be moved to another room. When I returned at 5.00pm a lovely lady (I think her name was Mel) apologised profusely and said that she had upgraded us to a suite with a four poster and a whirlpool bath. While the incident should never have happened, Mel did everything in her power to make amends for us. The meal on the Monday night in the restaurant was excellent with the proper menu being offered to us.
It's a pity that the first night was such a catastrophe as I ended up booking my 60th at Soulton Hall (just down the road). So although I can only rate my first night as 1 star, luckily, with Mel's intervention the second day rated as 5 stars, so I feel that a 3 star rating is fair.

My husband booked this accommodation when I am usually the booking person and at first glance on an iphone I thought we were staying in a barn lol. Wow wasn't I pleasantly surprised. This hotel is out of town and down a beautiful long driveway. There is ample car parking and the hotel is very popular for 5 star weddings. The grounds are just immaculate and the rooms have all been renovated and are beautiful. The "barn" as I call it is the restaurant and bar area and was built centuries ago. It still has character with uneven floors etc. The food and spanish waiter in the restaurant is 5 star all the way. Perfect for honeymooners, business people and mature couples. Reception staff were lovely too.

We stayed here as part of a wedding party in the new quarters.
The wedding and venue itself was stunning and a great day was had by all. I was a little disappointed by the meal as I thought the main course for what the bride and groom paid was a bit chewy and bland but that's minor.
The breakfast the next day was superb.
My main gripe was our room. Such high hopes when we arrived and saw the old building then to be placed at the end of a corridor in the new part, next to the generator room, was awful. The walls were paper thin and the noise from the laundry/generator room was terrible.
This didn't however impact on how much we enjoyed the wedding and we would stay again if we could get in the older quarters.
