My boyfriend organised a surprise weekend break for us with a TZoo deal and it was one of the best weekends away we've ever had in the UK (and we've tried quite a few TZoo deals!). Everything was so lovely, from the gorgeous room with the four poster bed, amazing 8 course tasting menu and great breakfast in the Tudor dining room, and really friendly staff who took the time to chat and tell us about the history of the building, and made our stay really special. We would definitely like to come back in the summer to fully appreciate the garden. Highly recommended!!!

I booked the Valentines package as a special treat for my partner and we both were utterly impressed. We both had a truly wonderful and excellent weekend. The Hotel is just sheer quality in terms of food, service and character. The room we stayed was spectacular and had everything - a four poster bed, plenty of room to relax, wonderful views of the Shropshire landscape and was packed full of history. We had the gourmet meal on the Friday and the Valentines meal on the Saturday and these were two of the best meals I have ever had. The choice was amazing and the food was cooked to perfection. The staff provided perfect service throughout our stay.
I give this hotel 10/10 and is one not to be missed!

Two nights of real old fashioned service, from check-in, throughout the stay in the hotel and the restaurant to the departure. We sampled the tasting menu one night and had a "standard" meal the second. Both were wonderful, tasty, beautifully presented and served. The setting of the old manor enhances the experience and nothing is too much trouble.
All the management and staff were lovely and made us feel really special. We will return when the weather improves

My Wife & I had a one night stay as a treat for my 60th birthday. The hotel is in two parts, the old manor house & a newer accommodation block. We stayed in the Hussey Suite in the old manor which was like stepping back in time. The room was full of history & atmosphere, it was clean, tidy & spacious with an on-suite bathroom with a jacuzzi bath. We had an evening meal which was all local produce & was really tasty & well presented by excellent waiting staff & breakfast the following morning was also very good (full English).

We were staying two nights Friday and Saturday (3 couples) , all of us had really nice rooms in the old manor house.
We had a special rate which included a Gourmet Meal the first night (went into Shrewsbury second night), we all had the wine flight with the meal. Depsite six different perspectives and food likes we all agreed the food was excellent and the service exemplary. A few of our party had drinsk in the lounge afterwards, someone ordered a Bailey's, it tasted a bit different, it turned out it was orange bailey, they were very good at changing the drink then when finding it was still ornage replacing it with something else all at low cost.
Breakfast on saturday was cooked to order but on sunday when hotel was full the cooked meal was a buffet, this was only slight dip.
On saturday evening the manager arranged a large taxi for us, and when it was late negotiated with the owner of the company to get the ride into Shrewsbury for free. All in all a great break.

Really comfy room, good service, hearty breakfast with well cooked good quality ingredients. I was just looking for a place to crash after a wedding party. The room was an "executive double", spacious with a nice four poster and a lovely view of Shropshire. Staff are very attentive and got me a taxi as I flew through for a swift shower before heading out again! Highly recommended if you want a quaint hotel with a beautiful backdrop.

We got married here on March 27th and words honesty cannot describe what an amazing day and night it was. The staff are top class and couldn't do enough to help and the venue is stunning. We were lucky enough to marry on the lawn and couldn't have asked for a more perfect setting. The food was brilliant from start to finish. We will be back again soon for a Sunday roast. This place is amazing!

Stayed here for an 8 course tasting dinner, wine, bed & breakfast.
Food was divine, everything you expect from a top tasting menu. Looked and tasted wonderful. Service was spot-on. Breakfast was outstanding, lots of choice, everything cooked to perfection, The atmosphere in the hall for both meals was delightful, service was top-notch, so well-done to kitchen & restaurant staff.
The wine was less impressive. We paid for the wine selection to accompany each course - in fact there were 4 glasses each, (not the 7 or 8 which it needs). None complimented the food, they did nothing to enhance the experience. Sad, really, as when it is done properly, a well matched wine makes the meal magical.
The room was clean, bright, comfortable. But what spoiled the whole event was the lack of sound-proofing. Honestly, we heard the people in the next room open their curtains, shut the bathroom door, flush the loo. They must have been hearing us as well. Totally put us off, if you know what I mean!

Stayed overnight for a function. Reception staff and manager exceptionally friendly and helpful. Bar and function staff were ..... functional, but very unfriendly.
Food tasted of packet sauce in every option on offer. Dreadful stuff. Drinks prices very expensive. Average price of £7 for a small glass of wine, meaning that they make around £30 for a bottle of cheap plonk that costs them no more than £3 or less to buy in.
Best bit was the silence on checking in and waking in the morning. The hotel is well outside Shrewsbury and there's nothing close by in terms of pubs or restaurants, but the seclusion is part of its appeal.
As I only ate what was provided for our function, and didn't have breakfast, I can't comment on the hotel's a la carte or table d'hote options. I can only hope it tastes less packaged than the events menu.
Finally, a word about hygiene and cleanliness. The hotel is spotlessly clean throughout, from bar to bedroom.
With a little more attention to producing home cooked food and more than a little reduction in bar prices this hotel would take two giant steps in the right direction.

Lovely hotel - in two parts - we were in the newer part. Rooms were comfortable but decor looking a little dated now. Old part of hotel was really very quirky with interesting nooks and crannies. Staff had real personality and could not do enough for you. Definitely need a car as hotel is literally in the middle of fields. Food was very good - desserts to die for!
