Albright Hussey Manor Hotel
Latest Reviews
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

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!

My friend told me about the wedding and you are right, she said it was all perfect, the staff, the location everything.
I wish you 2 all the luck together and I'll be visiting the Albright Hussey Manor this weekend to convince myself.

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

Thank you so very much for such a lovely stay over the weekend. Everything was just right - lovely rooms, attentive service and a gorgeous meal. Please pass on our compliments to the chef too - I eat out quite a lot in London and the food knocked spots off the last meal we had at a celebrity chef's (who will remain nameless!) restaurant recently.
Hope to be able to stay with you again in the not too distant future, and once again, thanks so much for a brilliant time.

On behalf of the six of us that stayed at your Hotel last weekend and attended the candle lit ball, I would very much to like thank you so much for the help, attention and advice you kindly gave us that made our stay so welcoming and wonderful. We all thoroughly enjoyed staying at the Hotel and seeing the Shrewsbury sights and your advice was incredibly useful and informative. We loved the Armoury and your shopping and general advice
I would also like to thank your staff who also were wonderful and helpful and would have no hesitation in recommending the Hotel as being the best in Shrewsbury and the surrounding area.
The candle lit ball was superb in every way and just shows that the Albright Hussey Manor can’t just arrange lovely weekends away but can also be relied on to arrange professionally events as well.
Thank you all again

Just got back from a very relaxing long weekend away. I cannot praise the hotel and it's staff highly enough. We stayed in the Royalist Suite I wish we could have taken the bed home with us so comfy! We had a wonderful meal in the restaurant and the breakfasts were superb. The only down side was that when people walk about it's very noisy as the floorboards creak but that's old houses for you. Just adds to it's charm. If you want a long relaxing stay in beautiful surroundings then this is the hotel for you.

I got married at the Albright Hussey on 5th February 2011 and I couldn't have asked for more. The day was relaxed and perfect due to the efforts of Paul, Malcolm, David and all the staff who did absolutley everything so I didn't need to. We stayed the night before and had a fantastic meal in the restaurant and from the time I woke up on the day of the wedding I didnt need to think about a thing. We stayed in the Hussey Suite which is amazing - a huge room with separate bathroom and whirlpool bath. All off my guests commented on the facilities and helpfulness of the staff. The weather was terrible but for our firework display umbrellas were handed out and I could not have asked for more. Thank you so much for making it the perfect day (dont listen to the negative reviews - some people have no taste and just cant be pleased - there is nothing about this venue I could criticise - especially the food which is a la carte at its best )

Paul and his staff did a fantastic job of making our stay just perfect. The food in the restaurant is divine and the Hussey Suite is THE place to stay. 11/10.

We spend last Friday and Saturday nights at the hotel and daughter was married there on the Saturday. The service was faultless and the owners couldn't have done more for us from first looking at the venue right through to the wedding. We had a family room number 14 which had its own lounge and two TV's the bed was comfortable and the place was clean and inviting. I have read some of the previous reports and cannot believe they were talking about the same place. The wedding was wonderful, although the weather outside was blowing a gale and it was raining it did nothing to dampen our spirits Paul even managed to organise the firework display. The food was excellent both at the wedding and the previous evening, breakfast was more than anyone could want. They even have their own delightful Spanish waiter who supports Shrewsbury Town which went down well with my grandson.
Thanks again everyone at the Albright Hussey unfortunately (or maybe fortunately) we only have one daughter so no excuse for another wedding there but we will certainly visit again

In summary "a funny old mix"!
Hotel owned and furnished by an Italian family in I think the 1980s. Some will not find their "taste" to their liking (rather a lot of gilt furniture). However, if you are not used to luxurious hotels then you'll think this is the bees knees. Personally I think it could do with being a little simpler or maybe have genuine antique furniture and less faux / reproduction stuff/busy carpets etc.
There is a fairly bland modern extension out back (how the planners let them attach this to the stunning Tudor original I do not know...(brown envelopes perhaps?). Anyway, when booking ask to be put in "the manor" otherwise you may end up in the modern Barrett like box (a trip across the car park from Reception) and to be frank you could be staying anywhere (Travelodge/Premier Inn etc).
I had room 3 which unfortunately is above the bar and you can hear people talking below, so I was kept awake til 3am the first night. I did email a whinge to the hotel and the manager (owner) rang me and was a) very apologetic b) offered to move me, despite only staying two nights and c) committed to there being no noise the second night (which there wasn't). It was really refreshing to be taken seriously and to be treated courteously=Full marks.
The other thing that to me is the selling feature of this hotel (aside from how the building looks) is the food. Wow. Absolutely stunning. I know my food and this was great quality, not overly fussy but imaginative with fresh quality ingredients. I'm definitely going to return just to have the chef's "platter": Chunkily cut smoked salmon with a wonderful muted colour and deep intense taste, fabulous cured ham, sublime chicken parfait which was almost pudding like, served with fresh salad and various sauces. Stunning.
The manager even gave me a free (large!) glass of wine on the house to apologise for the noise from the bar the previous night.
A wonderful family run hotel - I wish them every success. Keep investing in your rooms tho as some are more fussy than others :-)

Stayed at the hotel for one night.
It is a lovely hotel with great food and service, but make sure you get a room in the old house, because the new block (main part of the hotel) has paper-thin walls and you can hear every word / noise from the adjoining rooms, which can be a little bit embarrassing!

We got married there on 16th October and the whole day was faultless. From initial contact until the end of the day the service was impeccable. Our contact Paul took all of the worry out of the day, right down to the finest detail. We just turned up and they made everything perfect. The staff/service was first class and all of our needs were taken care of. The food was excellent (and our guests agree), the grounds are beautiful and the honeymoon suite was superb. I did see some rooms in the new block that friends/family were staying in and despite previous reviews I think they were perfectly ok. Dinner on the night before the wedding and breakfast were excellent.
I highly recommend this hotel for a wedding venue and thank you to Paul and all the staff for helping to make it such a special day.

Thank you so much for giving us our perfect wedding. You were all fantastic right from the start and we had the most amazing day. We certainly picked the best venue in Shropshire!

Graham and I would like to extend to your and all your staff our most grateful thanks and appreciation of the way in which you made Jane and Neil's Wedding Day so special. The whole of the time spent with you in your care was great - everything ran so smoothly, the food was wonderful and the ambiance so warm and friendly. What more could one ask for!
The comments from guests were just as positive - it was never more true to say that a good time was had by all. We are also very delighted with the idea of the Brunch. An excellent solution for the "morning after" and also allowing us to once more meet up with friends and family.
So, a very, very big thank you. We really are thrilled and delighted that you provided an excellent venue and excellent service for our daughter's wedding.

stayed at the Hussey for 2 days whilst on business in Shrewsbury and was again agreeably surprised by the welcome and general level of service. Staff all friendly, good food and comfy rooms, the manager even remembered me from my last visit. Will definitely be back.

We enjoyed a wonderful meal and night out at the Albright Hussey restaurant. Sometimes you just don't want to venture in to town. This is a top alternative to central Shrewsbury restaurants; still easy to get to, plenty of (free) parking and very high quality food and service.

Thank you so much for all your hard work organising our wedding reception and the fantastic job everyone did on the day. Everything ran so smoothly and we couldn't have wished for more professional, organised and friendly people to look after us.
Each element of the day was perfect and the food was just divine! Everyone had such a wonderful time and thought the venue was amazing.
This was truly a day to be remembered always.
