Albright Hussey is not wothout its drawbacks. We stayed in a suite in the old part and the decoration is slightly garish and lacking in finesse. I would imagine the newer annexe might be worse. But this is a matter of taste. Our four poster bed was also slightly hard. But the service was polite and attentive, the hotel was warm and welcoming, and also blissfully quiet, and we had a superb dinner, when we were magificently looked after by Malcolm, the General Manager. The service was what made our stay so pleasant. We will definitely stay here next time we are in Shrewsbury.

I got married here on 31st January 2009 and it was perfect. My maid of honour and I stayed the night before, we shared a family room which had its own seperate lounge area which was locked when we arrived but the receptionist opened without any issues as soon as we asked. The only draw back to the stay the night before was the very loud music, obviously someone else had a party there and the music we could hear was from the DJ. This did mean I couldnt get to sleep as early as I liked but I didnt complain as this would be me the next evening!
The morning of the wedding we had ordered room service for breakfast and this was delivered as promised hot and on time, very nice food and very reasonable rates.
My wedding service went without a hitch and the manager was very attentive all day and any signs of issues were very quickly resolved before they escalated into something bigger.
The wedding party had booked out most of the hotel so it meant the whole place was just for us which was lovely.
The honeymoon suite was gorgeous, very dated but very quaint.
I would definatley recommend this hotel for special occasions as the beautiful location and freindly, helpful staff is certainly of a very high standard.

We arrived for an overnight stay to meet up with some old friends just at the start of the very cold weather/snow. Unfortunately, our friends were snowed in and didn't make it but boy! were we made to feel 'at home' by all the friendly and helpful staff, lead by the enthusiastic and entertaining GM, Malcolm. Dinner was great and breakfast superb. Terrific experience in every way and we thoroughly recommend and hope to return.

We had an excellent New Year's Eve party at the Albright Hussey Manor. The atmoshphere was superb and the food excellent. Good disco and fireworks at midnight. The Hotel itself was good but we were staying in a part of the hotel that hadn't been refurbished and the rooms were cold and a bit '80's. The service was second to none with friendly staff.

The welcome was efficient and my room rate was adjusted automatically as I turned up on my own having booked for two. Rare honesty. £79 for a night with breakfast in an executive double room counts as very good value in my book.
Other positives:-
All staff were friendly and helpful
Wi-Fi was free and fast.
The sleigh bed was very comfortable with a mattress thick enough for a princess and very soft sheets - probably egyptian cotton. Pillows were a bit thin though and not feather or down.
Lovely countryside setting; you wake to the sound of birdsong.
2 complimentary bottles of water in the room
A nice waffle bathrobe in the bathroom.
An excellent breakfast - a perfect poached egg - cooked to order.
Slight negatives:-
Too much signage telling you what to do or not to do.
Antique furniture in a modern room ; it was pretty but useless.
TV mounted on the wall which pointed down at the floor and didn't adjust.
Bath panel coming away.
Paper thin walls ( lady in next room had a coughing fit at 7am - you could hear everything - luckily that was the worst of it ) not sure why when only 3 rooms are occupied, two of them have to be next to each other

We recently spent two nights at the Albright Hussey Manor Hotel. It is a fabulous hotel with fabulous staff. Our double room was small as was the bathroom but was tastefully decorated, an extremely comfortable bed and with added extras like Molton Brown toiletries and bottled water. The hotel is beautifully decorated with the oak panelled bar and restaurant areas being stylish but very comfortable. However what sets this hotel apart is the staff. Everyone we met was friendly, attentive and professional. Dinner in the restaurant was one of the best meals we have ever eaten, again with impeccable service. I would highly recommend this restaurant for a special break.

Parts of Albright Hussey are over 500 years old, while others are modern giving quests a choice to suit their needs/wants, and the ambience is befitting an historic building. that said it reflects an atmosphere are calmness and proficiency, where high quality service is the aim, and customer satisfaction is the watchword. we have visited many times, to stay, have a meal or just a quiet coffee in the lounge and regardless of teh cash value of our visit we are treated with the same level of professionalism.

Not much choice in this part of Shropshire so had to pay more than I wanted for an overnight golf stay. Very picturesque old manor with more modern ancillary blocks built alongside. Very peaceful, you only here farm and wild animals, service good, breakfast good and worth a visit. Single room £80 was a bit much, £60 nearer the mark.

Only stayed one night for a local wedding and the hotel is a hodge podge of old and new which is charming. Breakfast was average with condiments missing and no paper as requested. Room pleasant enough BUT be warned, the walls in this place are made of paper and you can hear someone sneeze from 100 yards. After all the door slamming and people mumbling and general noise I would not return as peaceful this place is not!

I do not understand how this hotel has a four star status it's not for the food, breakfast did not meet Little Chef standard
Dining room was excellent and very comfortable, disapointing menu / food !
The disabled room was fitted with a standard bath and shower (guests would have to step over and stand in bath to shower) not very disabled friendly
Very cold bathroom ! @ ground floor room with easy access overlooking car park view
Nice welcoming and attentive receptionist Thank you
