I was on a business stay so didn't get the chance to really appreciate this hotel however, it was comfortable, clean and all the staff I came into contact with were very friendly and helpful. Would certainly stay again.

The Albrighton Hussey Manor Hotel is a beautiful old building set in gorgeous gardens, definitely worthy of a special occasion. We had a standard room for which we paid £95 a night, a fair amount for this part of the country. The bed was very comfortable, the shower was fantastic, and the added extras (free mineral water, home-made biscuits) were the icing on the cake. The restaurant was pricy, but we were not disappointed; the wine selection and cheese board alone are worth going for! Breakfast was equally well-received.
The only concern we had was the slightly over-bearing hotel management. The front of house and restaurant staff were all delightful, however:
There were several stern notices in full view of the paying customer saying things like "DON'T serve drinks until you've added them to the bill, I will be checking!"
We politely requested a late check out, to which the receptionist was extremely apologetic, explaining that she would have to charge us extra if we wanted to keep the room for an extra hour. Never before have we stayed in a place who would not offer you complimentary late check-out if the room was free! Sadly, this seems to indicate that the management prioritise making money over great customer service.
This minor issue slightly soured an otherwise lovely stay.

On arrival to this hotel the reception girl was very polite and helpful,the room was spotless and well decorated. The restaurant was excellent the food was so tasty and all the waiters were very good at there job. Then the trouble started we were woken up at 3.15 am by the sound of a water cistern constantly filling up from the room next door.this totally spoilt our night.breakfast was buffet style which was ok. We would have got a better nights sleep at the travelodge down the rd at a lot cheaper price!

I could not fault the wondrous setting of this beautiful period building on the northern outskirts of Shrewsbury. Romantic, dreamy, and delightful. The dining and reception rooms are truly gorgeous, and everything is beautifully presented. The staff are friendly and warm.
Howevever, after being promised fantastic views of the Shropshire countryside (which are there, I assure you!) I was allocated Room 25 which is at the end of what feels like an annexe, although I'm assured it is very much part of the hotel. The room was very nice, would have been a bit tight for two, but the point is that from the window the view was over the car park. Cars were parked within inches of my only window and the countryside was pretty much obscured. The walls were the constituency of cardboard and I could hear everything from the room next door, in fact was awakened at 6.30am by loud sounds from the bathroom ..... which were not pleasant.
I was assured that there were 'truly lovely' rooms elsewhere in this 'annexe', as I was checking out, which didn't make up for my lack of sleep due to the noises from the adjoining room. Plus horrible lumpy pillows. It really felt as though I were in a cheap boarding house.
This was a shame as the evening had been delightful, lovely restaurant, good food, and excellent service. Unfortunately I discovered that my glasses of Sauvignon Blanc were charged at £10.50 each. Outrageous! Being told prices were displayed on the wine list was not good enough. Residents do not sign for drinks and I suggest that when you go to the bar and ask for a glass of white wine you ask to be advised of the exceedingly high prices and few choices. Shame. I do hate to be exploited.

I booked to stay in this hotel because I wanted a special hotel preferably with historic content, lovely peaceful surroundings, tasteful and with a fantastic restaurant with good service and friendly professional staff. I was not disappointed, from the beautiful exterior, gardens and moat with the black swans to the classically opulent decor and sitting rooms ( a lovely bar to sit and have a drink). Our room was no 12 and overlooked the entrance to the building . It was a good size room with a large bathroom (the toilet was a bit old and the bottom of the bath a bit worn, but it was very clean and did not bother me ) the bed was very comfortable and we had a very peaceful sleep. The views from the window were nice.. The food was of a very high standard. Malcolm the manager and his staff are a credit to this tasteful hotel. For very special occasions the suites are a must as I had a peek at one of them. We stayed in March but would like to return in summer time as it would be lovely to sit in the gardens and have a drink after dinner. If you have class and taste stay here, if you do not stay at the Travelodge.

Took a while to find it as my sat nav didn’t like the location. Upon leaving the road and following the lane down to the building you’re greeted by a wonderful old English building, which upon leaving the car and walking up to the reception area is even better with the garden and water area with bird life.
The building is split into two the historic and modern I stayed in both.
The modern is decorated well and had good views over the abundant farm land which was great as they were preparing the ground. The bed was comfortable and amenities such as bath/shower etc as expected. The room in the old building was very atmospheric, wood beams, lead windows, four poster`, furniture etc. The bath room was great very floral. The view was over the garden and water feature . Bar was small but fits in well with the building and restaurant well decorated with two main areas and smaller alcoves. Evening meals were good Calves liver, steaks etc (though would have liked a steak knife) Cheese board wonderful and a good selection of red wines
There is a very enthusiastic manager who really helps make the place along with the other very attentive staff.
The walk from the hotel to the nearby church and battle grounds was really relaxing and if you push a little further on there’s a coffee shop and farm shop with livestock all worth a look.
The whole old place ouses old country England in the times around the Tudors.

Stayed at the Hussey Manor Hotel for one night, wish it could have been more. The room & bathroom was extremity well decorated and good sized. Lovely comfortable bed and pretty views. Stayed for evening meal, which was very good. Perfect for a quiet short break (couples etc).

We have stayed at this hotel (where we married sixteen years ago) on and off and regard it as a treat to stay overnight in one of the suites in the old part of the hotel. This time we were in the wonderful Hussey Suite. The staff were very helpful kind and efficient.
We'd altered our booking from Friday to Thursday and may be that coincided with the chef's night off. We had gone for the Taster Menu and whilst the beef was splendid the other courses were at best mediocre and nothing like as exciting and appetising as our previous experience.
The moral must be - keep it simple

We were greeted warmly and found our stay very pleasant with good food and good service. However the décor is a little faded and dated in places but don't let this put you off it was clean and we had no real complaints. Dinner was excellent and presented and cooked to a very high standard. Shrewsbury is a lovely town and Shropshire offers some of the U.K.s finest places to visit both historically and the scenery is breath taking.
