Albright Hussey Manor Hotel
Latest Reviews
We cruised up the drive and were greeted by our welcoming host, the incomparable Malcom. Within a few minutes we were ensconced in a wonderful and spacious suite. This was in the new part of the hotel and it had been decorated in the same Elizabethan style as the older rooms.
The restaurant setting was perfect and the staff attentive and the food was superb.
We stayed for four days and were very sad to be leaving.
We will be back.
Thankyou Albright Hussey for another marvellous stay.

This is the first time we have stayed in this hotel - the staff are exceptional, polite and probably the most professional that we have met. They all seem to enjoy working here and it shows, nothing is too much trouble and every one of them had time for a smile, and a welcoming hello. The room which we were in was a little dated but clean with lovely large fresh towels and an amazing view from the windows. Plenty of tea and coffee and complimentary water which was a nice touch. The hotel is really quirky old world fashion, (hopefully they will keep it like this) the grounds are beautiful there was a wedding on and they pulled out all the stops it looked lovely. We asked to see other rooms and this was no trouble at all we were shown around the old part of the hotel and the newly refurbished rooms. Food was fabulous menu with great choices - breakfast lovely. i can't find any fault with the hotel at all. Malcolm the manager is a super guy and all the staff are a credit to the hotel. May be they should invite other hotels in the area to come and see how it is done.

Came to this venue for a friends wedding yesterday. Everything was brilliant, food, staff, rooms. The wedding ceremony was outside in a lovely setting and the bride and groom were looked after very well. Not too far away from Shrewsbury town centre too, taxis are reasonably priced.

The Albrighton Hussey is a class place to stay. The grounds and environment are so relaxing. But what makes the Albrighton Hussey so special are the staff. Everybody is so friendly and nothing is any trouble. We have stayed there several times and the food is excellent. A special thanks to Javier who makes you feel so welcome whilst maintaining very high professional standards.

We attended a small intimate wedding today and everything was perfect. The setting was beautiful, service personal and food delicious. The staff were so helpful. Try this hotel for Sunday lunch as well.

Great hotel, great service, great food, great area. Hotel manager dropped us in the centre of Shrewbury on his way home to save us getting a taxi. Full of knowledge about the hotel and area, what a lovely man. Would stay at this hotel again, Shrewsbury food festival is excellent and this hotel is a great place to combine a weekend away.

As we approached the hotel a pair of black swans welcomed us. Our twin bedded room was large enogh that we could move around without bumping into each other. An extra large bathroom with easy to use fixtures and safety bars in the shower and by the toilet work well. Anyone with mobility issues could manage with a ground floor room. A nice lounge area ( Try the Shrewsbury Lager) and excellent food in the dining room round out a visit. Knowledgeable staff and a welcomong glass of sherry await you at checking. Depending on your preference the out if town location may be good or bad. Ideal for a quiet night, not so good for those who like to walk through a new place and see the sights in the evening or before breakfast.

Prior to booking I had read the reviews which were on the whole very encouraging. However, when we arrived we were welcomed and directed to or 'Executive room'. Appreciating that it was a very old building with lovely features however, our bed was possibly as old as the hotel as it was very uncomfortable; the bathroom had many broken tiles which gave a poor impression.We chose to eat in the restaurant , the service was excellent as was the food which continued through to breakfast.
Overall it is a pleasant hotel but located no where close to walk to , unlikely to revisit as Shrewsbury is very limited on what it has to offer.

Stayed here last night as part of a wedding party and was very impressed with everything the hotel has to offer.
Our room was comfortable and tastefully furnished with plenty of wardrobe space and hangers. The usual tea and coffee making facilities are at hand and everything is up to a good 4 star hotel standard.
The most memorable aspect of the hotel is the location and historic nature of the building. The breakfast room is in the old part of the hotel, with exposed beams and open fireplaces. The breakfast itself was plentiful and fresh with staff serving toast and tea. I had some great scrambled eggs and other hot food is cooked to order.
Our wedding meal was very good and the service was efficient and friendly throughout. We found all the staff excellent, from reception to bar staff to cleaners and management.
The wedding party was a huge success, certainly aided by the choice of venue and the professionalism of all the staff. A further pleasant surprise was the reasonable room rates and the prices at the bar - not the exorbitant costs charged by some hotels.
This is a memorable, well run and delightful hotel - highly recommended.

Recently visited this little gem for the first time and cannot wait to go back. This place is tucked away from the hustle and bustle of city life, and is the perfect place to get away and relax. The staff are outstanding! From the moment we walked through the door they couldn't do enough for us, especially Malcolm who is a cracking fella and very good company. Now I've eaten at a lot of restaurants over the years and the food here is up with the best restaurants I've been to. Everything from the starters, to the desserts was fantastic, and the service from the restaurant manger was 1st class. The room was clean and well set out, no complaints at all. The building itself is very impressive, and like I said at the start its a great place to go and relax and enjoy good food and good service. Can't wait to go back.

Wanted somewhere special for a 90th birthday celebration. Disabled parking bay is close to the reception door. Often hotels provide ground floor rooms but then there is a long walk to the public areas. The hotel itself is quite compact that this was not an issue. The room was light and airy with plenty of space in the bathroom to accommodate someone in a wheelchair. The food was excellent, service attentive, certainly better than a Michelin starred restaurant I had recently been to. Main thing was everyone enjoyed themselves and would come back again.

Great hotel with excellent food. Very quiet but let down by the brick-like pillows.

Beautiful location in open countryside but within minutes of Shrewsbury and the Battlefield visitor attractions. The staff were welcoming and customer service was above and beyond excellent, the GM Malcolm and Head Receptionist Issy were a mine of local information to make our stay memorable. The decor in restaurant was charming and the breakfast beautifully cooked, perfect service by Vicky and locally sourced produce Black pudding pleased my husband ( a connoisseur of these things !)
Only drawback to prevent 5 star rating was the room, although spotlessly clean, had tired decor and linen and the bathroom was badly designed and very tired..
None of the niggles would prevent us returning to this gem of Shropshire.

Everything was 1st class and we look forward to a speedy return one small thing on the minus side no shelf in the shower to use for your toiletries had to pick them up off the floor not good when you are disabled ( room seven)

From the moment we arrived it felt like we had stepped into tranquility .... It was a perfect late spring evening and we sat in the garden watching the sunset with a glass of wine. We had a lovely nights sleep which was a surprise as there was a wedding in full swing when we arrived, but we were undisturbed. However the best part of our visit was the amazing staff working in the restaurant, nothing was to much trouble and they truly made our experience memorable ...Thank You 😊

Other half booked a surprise stay at above, very good room clean and quite even though there was a wedding on. Did not have an evening meal at the hotel as travelled in to Shrewsbury (couple of miles). Restaurant though was very popular on our return and had a comfortable evening just sitting in the lounge area people watching, until the early hours. Breakfast was a mix of help yourself and eggs cooked as you like. Would have been good if breakfast was served to you but at least this way you can have as much as you want. Staff very good polite and all worked hard. Would have got 5 stars but the leisure facilities are not at the same place so a little disappointed.

The Pergola on the lawns here are a perfect location for a special wedding. The hotel is quaint and quirky and filled with history. Our suite overlooked the gardens and had a four poster bed, Jacuzzi and all the old world trimmings. It was not as clean as you might expect as we found dead flies on the windowsills. The food was of good quality but just average. Still a great wedding venue

Visited on 23 April for a Fine Dining evening with friends and decided to stay over. The reception staff were really helpful as were all the other staff we encountered. Despite there being a wedding event we were treated really well. Genuine kindness rather than the false 'have a nice day stuff' some hotels seem to trade in. The Fine dining menu was really great and a good evening was had by all.
The room was clean tidy and comfortable and breakfast was excellent too. Thank you.

Please read.
I should start by saying that the Hotel and Rooms are excellent and well worth the money.
Now I'd like to move quickly on to the customer service we received during our stay. My partner and I have never experienced such excellent service at any of the hotels we've stayed in. As you'd expect from any hotel, the staff are warm and friendly but the staff at the Albright Hussey go the extra mile and turned our planned nice weekend away into a pleasurable experience which we Will be returning to experience again.
We started our stay with an Afternoon Tea, followed that up in the evening with their 5 Course Gourmet menu, a night in our excellently equipped suite and then woke the next morning to once again join the restaurant team to enjoy an excellent breakfast. We finished our stay by having a fantastic Sunday Lunch.
The food can only be described as superlative. The service however was the best we've ever experienced and special mention needs to go to Javier and Malcolm who were a credit to the hotel and made our stay special.
If the owner of the Albright Hussey reads this review can I add that we will be back, our stay was exceptional and whatever your paying Javier and Malcolm isn't enough..
Thank you.

Gorgeous building. Quiet rural location with views over the Shropshire countryside. Only a short drive into Shrewsbury town centre. Lovely food. I was a little concerned we might be kept awake by the wedding party in full swing. However we were in room 8 and didn't hear a thing. Our room was described as one of the smaller rooms. It didn't feel small, was well appointed, with plenty of wardrobe space and had a proper bath room. We really enjoyed our stay.

It's in an excellent location, right next to the battlefield site of the 1403 battle of Shrewsbury, and if you are looking to relax, the farmers field next door usually has some lambs in it.

Absolutely fantastic day on Easter saturday. My sons wedding breakfast and evening reception at the hotel was second to none. I can't thank the staff enough for the calm and very professional but also very personal approach to the whole day, including squeezing in an additional guest at the very last minute. The transition from day to night celebration was seamless.They were all wonderful, couldn't do enough for us all, the venue superb, very luxurious and very very special. And my suite was fab! I wouldn't hesitate at recommending this hotel for any function or stay. Thank you all so much.

Stayed here last weekend to celebrate our 38th Wedding Anniversary. Really couldn't fault the attentive service we received from all the staff. Everyone made us feel like we belonged. Always greeted with a smile and light conversation. Truly made us welcome and their interaction and attention to detail felt very genuine and personal. All the food we had was beautifully cooked and tasty and very well presented. We were made to feel special. Lovely to begin the evening in the cocktail bar whilst we perused the menu. Breakfast was well cooked and delicious too. A few tiny faults with the room. It was comfortable and clean with beautiful views across the fields, including the sheep and tiny lambs right outside our window. However, the bathroom heated towel rail leaked and couldn't be used. This is a room for two people and it seemed odd that there was only one bathrobe, one glass in the bathroom and one flannel, and one pack of yummy biscuits. Very small TV, wall mounted on the wall opposite the bed, probably needs upgrading to meet current expected standards from a hotel of this calibre. All the staff showed a genuine interest and care for our needs and satisfaction, even down to the cleaner, who was very helpful in suggesting places to visit and asked the following day if we had a good day out. Lovely warm and friendly and welcoming hotel with great staff and great old fashioned professional service.
