Just a very short note to you all for our wonderful weekend break in March 2011 on our wedding anniversary. From the minute we arrived until we left you all could not have done more, the food was all excellent with very friendly and helpful staff no matter what time of the day. This was our first stay but will definitely not be our last, we both look forward to seeing you all later in the year. Regards Linda & Ian Whiting

I travelled with my husband and sister and brother in law for an overnight stay .The welcome earliy in the morning was no problem although hours before normal check in .We recieved excellent service from the staff especially Malcolm who greeted us in the bar prior to dinner and recommended a really good wine to accompany our dinner .The dining room is small and intimate reflecting its long history and the food was excellent with no formal table d'hote but a good selection from the a la carte menu of locally sourced produce.(we spoke to the chef to thank him for the good food when he advised us of this).Good location off the road so quiet but near to Shrewsbury and the park and ride bus.Good rooms with all you would expect from a 4 * hotel

Even though we only stayed one night, we loved this place. The food was superb as was the service! We would like to stay in a deluxe room next time.
Only criticsm was the poorly designed bathroom that meant a squeeze to get in and the need to be an acrobat to get out of the bath!

We paid £175 per night for B&B for two nights as a special birthday celebration. The room was in the old part of the manor house and winding our way up to the top of the house was lovely with all the old timbers and uneven floors. It was clean and well kept with nice Jacobean style furniture. The room itself was nice and airy with lovely views and the bed was very comfortable however we were disappointed in that there were stains on the carpet - probably old red wine stains - and the bathroom was a bit shabby. The side panel was lose at one end and the wall paper was torn and curling and the plug in one of the sinks didn't work so the water drained away.
There was a wedding on and we got to watch a lovely fireworks display from the bedroom window on the saturday evening. The wedding was no problem to us as they weren't rowdy, however the next morning we had to join the wedding party for a self service breakfast which was not what we expected. We felt that £175 for B&B we should have been served breakfast or at the very least told that the policy was for a self serve breakfast if there were over a certain number of people - and we were not. The sunday morning we were served breakfast in the lovely dining room in the old part of the house.
The staff were all very nice and helpful and the girl on reception said she would take the issues up with the management - I hope they listen and do something about it!
These things didn't spoil our weekend - we enjoyed ourselves - but they took the edge off the experience at The Albright Hussey

We have just held my Daughters wedding at the Hussey and I can only find good words to say about the Hotel and its staff. Nothing was too much trouble for the staff and thier efforts lead us to having a fanatastic time here our wedding party took up all of the rooms in the hotel, we stayed in one of the suites on the top floor of the Hotel which was very nice with four poster bed in lovely big room, and a bathroom with whirlpool bath.
Breakfast was self service on morning after the wedding but some of the ladies in the party stayed the previouss night and they were served with thier breakfast so I guess it depends on the number of guests they have in at any one time.Thanks again to Paul and David ( and all the other staff) for their help in making our daughters day truly special,

I stayed at the hotel for two nights to attend a wedding.
My room was in the new part of the hotel and it was clean if a little dated. The bathroom could do with a pep up but this was purely cosmetic and it didn't really detract from my stay. There were nice little touches in the room that showed that the hotel was trying to make guests feel welcome.
The main thing that struck me was the consistency and quality of the service. Everyone was more than happy to help and made me feel very welcome. From the reception desk who got me from arrival and into my room in 5 minutes after a long drive to the staff at breakfast who were friendly and helpful on both of my visits.
It was a beautiful location for a wedding and all it all a great weekend.
Congratulations and 10 out of 10 for customer service.

In October 2011, ShrewsburyChefette said about Albright Hussey Manor Hotel
The hotel was I thought a little bit expensive at £120 a night.We were there for a wedding,so the cost was not too much consideration.The room was in the new wing,it was clean with a large double bed.There was a good quality tea tray with homemade biscuits and filter coffee as well as a couple of bottles of water.There were also some sweets in a jar as well.
The bathroom was a good size with lovely huge soft towels.The toiletries were a bit sparse but more were available if needed.
The breakfast was good quality,with plenty of fruit,juices and cereals.The cooked option was good too.The house wine was a little expensive at nearly £18 a bottle.We would go back,but only for a special occasion.

I have visited this hotel several times to eat and have stayed here a couple of times too, the latest being last week for two nights. I agree with comments other reviewers have made about the 'new' block. The rooms are clean but the decor is a bit 'dated'.
The breakfast was excellent and was served in the restaurant in the old part of the hotel. A good selection of options are available in addtion to the 'full English' which is more than adequate. We had dinner in the private room adjacent to the restaurant and the food and atmosphere were good.
Staff very helpful.
Overall, I feel that the 'old' part of the hotel which has lots of character is let down by the new bit. Nevertheless, I will stay here again. My rating is very good based on the price we paid.

In January 2012, revitalise said about Albright Hussey Manor Hotel
A family wedding brought me to the Albright Hussey Manor Hotel, located on the edge of Shrewsbury. This hotel combines ancient and modern very well; the hotel restaurant is located in an old half-timbered building of great character. Most rooms are located in a new wing.
Our double room was comfortable, very traditionally furnished, with a small but satisfactory bathroom.
The attractive restaurant served a good breakfast (essentially self-service). Dinner was tasty but the à la carte menu is not cheap and portion size not over-generous.
Staff throughout the hotel were very friendly and efficient.
Although I would probably not stay at this hotel a second time, this is not a reflection on my recent experience.
