I stayed here on business and will definitely be coming back with my wife. First and foremost excellent customer service from friendly, welcoming staff. (I know what I'm talking about ,as I train people in customer service). Combine this with a clean, comfortable room and a truly charming setting and you have a refreshing change from the norm. The hotel is family owned and you can tell this from the general atmosphere, no "hotel chain" rules and proceedures. One simple example of this is the sherry decanter on the reception desk, should you fancy a(complementry) tipple as you check in after your journey.
The resturant was excellent, intimate and decorated in the period. I recommend the glazed pork.
Well worth a visit.

Well what can I say, but fantasic! I have stayed in the Albright Hussey Manor now for the last 6 weeks due to relocation of job. The grounds and hotel are a rare treat and they have to be experienced. I have found the staff to be very friendly and professional. The food for me as been an experience that I have found to be most enjoyable and I can say I have completed all the menu's. The rooms are always kept clean and fresh and are very comfortable. The General Manager and the family who own this hotel have made me feel that I am part of there family and team, which as made my time away from my family alot easier.
All I can say is a big thank you to the team at the Albright Hussey Manor.

We heard of the "hussey" from friends who had been to a wedding there (lovely lawns and marquee for wedding receptions) so stayed overnight on the way to Wales. The hotel is set well back from the main road and the grounds are very well kept. We didn't do the poshest room but the feeling of the hotel and room was very comfortable and i was fascinated by the history of the buildings (dating back to the civil war). The most positive thing was the staff, all very friendly and welcoming, we would certainly return in the future.

I have just returned from a short trip to England, where I was lucky enough to stay at the Albright Hussey Manor. It's a great little hotel, just a few miles from the centre of Shrewsbury. My room was not huge but very comfortable, immaculately clean, well equipped, and had little luxurious touches, such as upmarket toiletries, a big teardrop bath, free wireless internet, a refreshment tray, and so on. The breakfasts are enormous and yummy. My vegetarianism was cheerfully accommodated, despite the meat-centric menus, and it is easy to believe that the restaurant wins awards. The staff (right down to the gardener!) are all helpful and friendly. I stayed in the modern wing, which leads off the ancient part of the building. As a history buff, it was a pleasure to have my meals or relax over coffee in the half timbered rooms, and then go for a wander around the grounds, which retain the original moat and a gaggle (if that's the right word) of black swans. The hotel is based in a historic manor building in a very peaceful setting, Looking out my bedroom window across the fields, I could see a church spire. It turned out to be the spire of a memorial church built back in the 1400s after a big battle on the manor lands. So I guess it wasn't always so peaceful in the neighbourhood. :) The staff were gearing up for a wedding when I was there, and it really is an idyllic place to get hitched. I would love to stay there again and, funds allowing, I would upgrade to one of the four poster rooms in the old part of the buildings. I have stayed in lots of bigger and flashier places, but none have been so relaxing or so enjoyable. I guess it has downsides; it's five miles outside the town centre, so you need a car or a taxi; it does have only a couple of dozen rooms; and there's nowhere to swim unless you decide to join the swans. But the only complaint I have is that I couldn't stay longer. A delight.

After reading one of the negetive reviews on this hotel, I was almost put off booking the Albright Hussey Manor but I am extremely glad I went with my instinct & booked a very enjoyable & memorable long weekend there. My partner & I were met in the car park & our rather heavy bags carried to our room. We were warmly welcomed with a large glass of sherry at reception & shown to our very well equipped & spacious room. The room was situated in the old manor house & was very clean & comfortable with beautiful views of the well maintained gardens and the pretty moat which was home to a couple of Black Swans and ducks. The bathroom was well stocked with delicious smelling Molton Brown products & the jacuzzi was very appreciated after a long drive!
We took advantage of the beautiful weather & had drinks on the patio over looking the moat before dinner. Dinner was excellent with a professional but not rushed service. Try the souffle!!
The staff are extremely polite & helpful with nothing being too much trouble & willing to go that extra mile (my partner asked for soya milk, but was told that they did not have any but if we could wait 20 minutes they would have some! Now that's good customer service! I think that someone must of gone to the local shop on our behalf). We met the owner who gave us the impressive history of the hotel & it was clear of his passion & ambition that has achieved an award winning hotel and restaurant.
We have no hesitation in recommending this superb hotel & we hope to return soon.
Thank you,

Clapham, London
This gem of Shropshire was highly commended by some of my friends, so for a special occasion I took my wife for our twenty fifth wedding anniversary. When I had booked a room I mentioned wedding anniversary. On check-in I was welcomed by a very nice caring gentleman who took our luggage and guided my wife and I through the old part of this wonderful Tudor building to our room. A four poster bed, splendor and old beams, like the middle ages, very comfortable and clean, perfect after a long journey. We made our way down to the cocktail bar at early evening and where welcomed by Malcolm, when he served our drinks he gave us an amazing introduction to what we where about to experience, he explained every dish of the menu to us and all was mouthwatering without even tasting it, I went for the beef and my wife for the lamb both had ordered scallops to start with. We kept the menu and read the Chef introduction and knew we would be in for a real treat. After a little while Malcolm announced that the Chef was ready with our order and took us to our table near the window, there were about twenty other people dining and the atmosphere was electric and there was a real buzz, the food was amazing, fresher then fresh scallops, the beef and lamb simply to die for, we swapped our main courses, we had to taste all, with a fine bottle off Beaujolais Fluerie. For after we were handed a sweet and cheese menu, I do like cheese, when presented with an a la carte cheese menu, I was going to be more then happy, my wife choose a soufflé with amaretto. The cheese was served at room temperature and the soufflé was just wow. Afterwards the Chef made his appearance, this is new to me you only see this on TV, in the restaurant and talked to all the guests, he spoke to us about his involvement and use of local food, I have never met a Chef being so passionate and full of pride. Malcolm served us coffee and brandy in the bar area, I thanked him for the "experience" and wonderful evening we had and we would be back soon. The following morning after a healthy breakfast we met the owner and complimented him, we left the Albright Hussey Manor with a warm hearted feeling. I will recommend this gem to anyone.

In November 2008, TravellerBath said about Albright Hussey Manor Hotel
I stayed here whilst away on business for the week and it is a fab hotel. The ducks & Geece meet you in the grounds which look great for parties or weddings. Malcolm the Manger is a chiry chap and very helpful. The rooms have comfy double beds, Molton Brown products in the bathroom and robes are availble. The food for room service is really good and reasonably priced. The location is only 10 min drive dependent on traffic from town. It is a bit difficult to see the hotel sign,entrance from the road as the hotel is down a lane so not visable from the road.

I would just like to say a very big thank you to everyone at the Albright Hussey Manor Hotel. So warm and friendly was the welcome that both my Mum and I felt at home from the moment we walked through the door.
The surroundings were more luxurious and charming than I had ever imagined, and the food was second to none! The a la carte menu was made to delight, and the chef (on both nights) was first rate.
I would like to give special thanks to Christine, Malcolm and Anis. What a wonderful team! We couldn't have asked for more! An absolute credit to the hotel.

We stayed at this hotel for three nights. My husband never works on his birthday and we thought we would explore this part of Shropshire. We had a lovely time at the Albright Hussey Manor.The food was excellent and the house and gardens superb. The wine is supplied by Tanners. Best of all the staff are a great team and enjoy their work.
