Stayed here for a family wedding. Check in was fab and the place itself is lovely! Grounds are beautiful and the old fashioned bars etc are also really nice! The room was really old fashioned and not in the best condition, we paid £120 for the room and booked it through the wedding party but could have got it cheaper through booking.com which I think is really unfair and not correct. Food was not great and I wouldn’t recommend eating here at all. Much nicer places to stay for less money.

We had just stayed at another 5-star hotel in Wales which had proved most disappointing, and having read some of the harsher reviews on this site about the Albright Hussey Manor were braced for another similar experience. Instead we had a great time.
We stayed in Room 4 (Royalist Suite), full of character although both my husband and I had to duck through the door. There was a wedding at the hotel but we heard nothing, despite the party going on until 0200.
We arrived having had appalling traffic and late for the regatta we were going to in the afternoon but despite the wedding taking place, the friendly staff helped us find a taxi there even though the Flower Show made it challenging, and took our bags up to our room for us to save us time. As we waited, we helped ourselves to the free sherry at reception (a great touch). And relaxed.
Best was in the evening when the admirable Maclolm made us feel extremely welcome. We were the only guests eating in the dining room (the others all being at various weddings for the evening), but we didn't feel out of place and the level of service from him and the team was exemplary. The food was straightforward, but delicious. We were really happy with this lovely hotel and, while we would avoid the more modern rooms, staying in the old part is special with the view out over the sweeping lawns patrolled by black swans.
We then arrived for breakfast, which had a lovely range of fresh fruit, cereals and the hot buffet was genuinely hot, with warmed plates. The wedding party were emptying the buffet rapidly but it was kept fully and efficiently topped up. We asked for fried eggs and got them quickly from the charming waitresses on duty.
Top notch everyone, keep it up! We will stay here again.

We had a really lovely and spacious room in the old part of the Manor House which we used as a base to explore the local area. Friendly staff and a fine breakfast to set us up for the day. No real complaints, although as someone who likes a bit of space to wake up over breakfast, the over friendly cross between Basil Fawlty and Ivan Brackenbury, who appeared at breakfast time wasn’t really my cup of tea.
The hotel is about 10 minutes away from Shrewsbury- perfect location for getting out into the countryside.

Having married here (& that day being utterly perfect) this place holds a very special place in our hearts, and we decided to renew our vows here this August. Both our original Big Day and this one couldn't have been more perfect - nothing is too much trouble here, no idea too big or small, and both days were OUR days exactly how we had imagined them. We were made to feel individual and special, a feeling of 'home' yet the luxury of having our every need attended to. Everything, on both occasions, ran like clockwork, every last detail was perfected, the staff are amazing completely unflappable - a lovely balance of professional yet humourous. All our guests commented on the beautiful hotel, rooms, and surroundings, it really is stunning. We would (& will!) come here again and again.

We stayed here for a friends wedding in August. The setting was lovely and the weather was good so the wedding was outside. The gardens were beautiful; obviously very well cared for an maintained. The main building is very old and had huge character, especially the restaurant where we had breakfast. If walls could talk!
The wedding team did a good job of organising everything. The main mail during the wedding was delicious and the staff were very attentive. In the evening there was a BBQ with a selection of Salmon, Chicken or Steak served with potatoes, garlic bread etc.
The salmon and chicken were lovely but the steak was overcooked and incredibly tough, so much so that i considered taking some home to resole an old pair of shoes! Looking at the plates of other guests, most of them appeared to have left the steak too.
Drinks were very expensive (EG £2.00 for a 250ml bottle of coke) but I guess thats expected at a wedding hotel. Teenage bar staff sometimes looked bored, chin in hand as they leant on the bar waiting for customers. The more mature staff were very professional, friendly and attentive. We stayed the night but were disappointed to be accommodated in a "bolt on" square, brick built extension. Rooms were very clean and tidy but the mattress was completely shot and tried to swallow me when i sat on it. The walls are paper thin. You will hear EVERYTHING not just from the room next door but most rooms in the building. Every key turning, conversation, toilet flushing...
The plumbing noises were also extremely loud! We were in room 26 on the ground floor and when someone took a shower or filled the bath next door or above, the howling noise that came from the pipes was so loud!!
Maybe the rooms in the main hotel were better.
In summary, a lovely setting with friendly staff but don't expect a quiet night if you are staying in the extension!

I stayed here overnight for and it was certainly one of the best places I have stayed for work. THe staff was lovely, excellent customer service, food was well presented and tasty, the room and bathroom very clean. They even had my favourite Galaxy hot chocolate mix!! I will definately revisit on my next visit to the area.

This was the first time I’ve stayed here and it was a very friendly and comfortable hotel with good sized rooms and friendly staff.
The restaurant was very nice and you can have a nice meal on the patio or inside if it’s a little chilly out.

Recently stayed overnight at the Albright Hussey Manor Hotel , as we were attending a wedding being held there. I was somewhat surprised by how small our room was, with barely room to walk round the bed. All of the facilities were in the room, but making a cup of tea was trial, since there was no space to actually do it!
Cleanliness was another issue, the window frames were covered in cobwebs, and the bathroom was not as clean as it could have been. The shower screen also leaked badly due to defective seal. Finally, the bed was probably the most uncomfortable I have had in a while.
On a positive note, the hotel surroundings and ambience are lovely, and the breakfast was first class. Pity about our room 😒

Had a lovely overnight stay here whilst visiting Long Mynd and Shrewsbury. Lovely friendly and warm staff.
Beautiful 3 course meal in the evening in the beautiful old dining room. I was so full I had no room for dessert!
The room was pleasant enough although the walls were very thin! I could hear the people next door using the bathroom! We slept well though- probably because we were so tired from the day's mountain biking activities though!
The breakfast was superb and we enjoyed walking around the lovely grounds looking at the black swans and admiring the old building. I would definately visit again!

Such a lovely property, just outside of Shrewsbury, but the accolades stop there. Our room was good sized, and comfortable with all the basics. However, the grout in the shower could do with a good cleaning as there was quite a bit or visible mildew. The bath linens were not up to the standards of an average 3 star hotel. They consisted of an inexpensive bath towel. No hand towel or face cloth.
The breakfast was a real disappointment. We arrived at 9:00 and there was very little available, just the dried dregs of scrambled eggs stuck to the bottom of the pot, back bacon that was too tough to chew (in fairness, we did not have the heart to try the sausages), and the juice pitchers were empty. There were some boxed cereals, but no milk or water to put on them. If there had been cheeses, meats or fruit, it was gone and not replenished. Good thing there was the traditional English savior of beans and toast. We planned on dining there in the evening, but thought better of it.
My pet peeve was the WiFi. It was hard to connect and you had to sign in via your social media account or agree to provide name, email, age, gender and agree to receive unsolicited marketing emails. Really?
Our stay can be summed as a real disappointment.
