Fantastic location, very friendly staff and super food. The rooms are old world with plenty of character. One negative thing was we were hoping to watch rugby on the Saturday which was on BBC however the televisions did not receive this only BBC Wales.

We attended a friend’s wedding at this venue and overall had a fairly good day. The bride and groom seemed happy which was the most important thing however there’s were a few issues that we thought needed improving. At the start of the ceremony (held indoors), the owner was standing in the bar talking very loudly to other staff which seemed somewhat rude, it took some time for him to be quiet. We had children with us and our eldest was provided with a main meal of sausage and mash which was thoughtful however the food was way too salty, even for an adult. Much less salt is required (ideally none) in food for the children. The master of ceremonies sounded very unenthusiastic when announcing the next speech, which seemed to put off some of the speakers. This isn’t a huge deal but with a wedding it is the little touches that make a difference. Generally food was adequate, the vegetarian main was a risotto which was tasty but very loose in consistency so it didn’t look very appetising. The sticky toffee pudding had obviously been out waiting to be served for some time so had formed a crust around the edges. It took 3 hours for for the reception area to be transformed from the dining area to the evening reception area which seemed like a long time.
As I said, the bride and groom seemed to enjoy themselves and that is the most important thing. It seemed however that there are some details which need improving.

My wife and I have just returned home from one of the most enjoyable weekend breaks we have had for a very long time. We stayed in the royalists suite, which gave us a very comfortable spacious room with so much charm. The restaurant served delicious food. The beef is amazing. I can say with out doubt that this hotel has a level of service unrivalled by most hotels. We have stayed in a lot of hotels in the UK. Looking for that perfect place to spend quality time together. And we have finally found it. The staff in the hotel are very attentive and friendly. The owner, Paul Subbiani. Finds time in his busy schedule to talk with his guests. We will be returning soon. (What a find)

Very pleasant location, lovely room although comings and goings in the middle of the night did keep us awake.
We stayed for two nights and ate in the restaurant the first night. The waiter thankfully found us a quieter corner and the food was excellent if expensive. The wine was also superb but again a little pricy I thought. Restaurant is cosy but beautifully laid out.
The second night was got a cab into Shrewsbury which was amazing value (organised by the helpful staff), and what a great place Shrewsbury is to eat and drink.
Will stay here again, as despite the expensive food and drink the room was great value.

Visited for Sunday lunch. The location and venue are superb. The staff were excellent, fantastic service that couldn't be faulted. However very disappointed with the food.
I ordered a fish main and my partner beef. The fish itself was well cooked but bland, the fennel that accompanied it was tasteless and there was not enough sauce, just a spoonful on top of the fish so the dish was very dry.
My partners beef was OK, however, that too was very dry as there was just a spoonful of gravy on the meat.
I would not return for Sunday lunch again.

My husband and I came for a second visit to the Hotel in February as we enjoyed our first visit so much. We only stayed B&B this time as we were eating out in Shrewsbury that evening. Again we were not disappointed. The service as usual was impeccable, and the staff as attentive as ever. We stayed in The Royalist Suite which is a truly magnificent room with an enormous spa bath and stunning views. We simply cannot fault the hotel or the staff who always go the extra mile to make us feel welcome and an extra special thank you to Paul for getting us back on Saturday evening...and to the staff for the late night draft Guinness. Nothing is ever too much for any of them 😁...and of course it goes without saying that we will be returning very soon.

The hotel is beautiful, set in the countryside just north of Shrewsbury. The receptionist greeted us very warmly (even when our puppy had an excited widdle in the reception and she insisted that they would clean it for us!). The room was spacious and extremely clean, the added touches of a bowl of sweets a well appointed information book and all the toiletries that you would expect. The bathroom was light and clean with a bath to fit a small family. The solid wood frame bed had a very comfortable mattress that gave a good nights sleep. The bar and restaurant were cosy, the food was well presented and delicious. The service we received from staff was second to none, all staff were friendly and approachable and absolutely professional.
The building itself is gorgeous, the grounds are well maintained with a pretty garden and the surrounding views are idyllic.

I feel bad for leaving a mediocre review on this hotel but I’m committed to reviewing fairly and consistently during my 300 plus reviews
The hotel is in lovely settings and the staff couldn’t try harder, the food is pretty good too. The steak was excellent
The following constructive criticism is as follows
The rooms don’t feel like a quality hotel room. The doors are too thin and the decoration and furniture is slightly off par and the TV is too small and it just feels a little 1980s. I was in the new block of rooms for reference
The staff are too friendly for my liking. This is subjective and I appreciate others find this excellent customer service. I found it a little overbearing but I appreciated the intent and it was very friendly
The overall experience feels, to me, too much like I’m staying in someone’s spare room (which is nice in a way because it feels like being a guest in somebody’s house) but for me I’m looking for a high quality environment to relax in and be anonymous
Didn’t hate it, didn’t love it, did however like the people and their enthusiasm

We stayed for 1 night following a shopping day in Shrewsbury. The hotel is set in lovely countryside and is a beautiful old building. We were given a very warm welcome by the receptionist, which was very nice. We did not realise on booking that our room would be in the annex, this was not a problem though as the door to the annex is opposite to the restaurant. I would have preferred to be in the old building though.
The room was fine, called a bijoux room ? There is plenty of wardrobe space, a chair and desk and table. What I did appreciate was 2 bottles of water and a dish of sweets, very nice touch. There was also ample tea and coffee facilities.
The main problem with the room was the bathroom. The door opened inwards but not wide enough as a new P shaped bath had been fitted which restricted the door opening leaving quite a small space to get through as the sink was just inside the door. I would imagine guests larger than us would have a major problem.
Breakfast was in the magnificent dining room and consisted of cereals, sliced melon, grapefruit, prunes and juices with croissants and cakes. There was also a hot buffet of Sausage, black pudding, bacon, tomatoes, mushrooms, beans and scrambled eggs. I should have asked for a fried egg which i assume could have been ordered as I do not like scrambled eggs with my breakfast. Toast, tea and coffee were served to the table. All in all a good meal - well cooked.

My wife and I stayed at the hotel this week for one night and had a very nice stay. The deluxe room (Hussey Suite) was really nice with a large 4 poster bed and massive spa bath. The view from the room was over the gardens and to the fields beyond. We have absolutely no complaints even though it took a while to get wet under the 'shower'. This is forgivable in such an old building and didn't detract at all from the quality of our stay. Yes, some parts of the hotel could do with a bit of a spruce up but all in all we found the hotel to be very good value for money compared to the chain hotels nearby. Malcolm as the head barman and maitre d was excellent, very welcoming, attentive and with a very cheery attitude. The food was very good and service during dinner was spot on. Breakfast the following morning was slightly strange but not in a negative way. We opted for the continental breakfast which was to include cold meats and cheeses but, unusually, these were not self-service options. It really didn't matter in the end because the selection we received was generous in size and a nice mixture. Perhaps one improvement could be the provision of bread/biscuits to go with the meats and cheeses. I am sure this would have been available if we had asked but it does seem pretty obvious you will need them. We greatly enjoyed our stay (it was my wife's birthday) and will certainly be back next time we visit the area.
