I stayed over for a friends wedding , the service was excellent , but there were wasps nests on the front walls for everyone to see , and for the entire time we were all fighting off the little stingers , and I have been told they are still there 2 weeks later , I unfortunately got ill in the early hours of Saturday morning , and my husband went to the reception and rang all the numbers and no one came or answered , the place was deserted even though it states 24 hr reception , the hotel was delightful and the staff when about were lovely , but please sort your wasps out before someone gets hurt badly

We had our wedding here in November 2012 and were really happy with the choice.

There are a limited number of places to choose from in the area that are able to cater for over 100 without being too much like conference centres. We chose this place because the staff seemed willing to listen to what we wanted, rather than tell us what they thoguhtwe wanted.

The night before, my bridesmaids and I had a room which was cosy but comfortable (normally a twin, but with an extra bed added) and breakfast was lovely.

The actual day itself was great, the staff did a lot of behind-the-scenes stuff I hadn't even considered. They really are experts. I was escorted to see the registrar by the manager, who calmed me down even though we were late because my dress had just broken and we were running a bit late because of needing to do an emergency repair job. The room was set out just as I had asked it to be, and it lends itself to any colour scheme because it has cream drapes on the walls and ceiling, so out green colour scheme with white flowers looked great.

The only thing wrong was I had organised the day to be evening-wear dress code, so we had the wedding as late as possible while still having just enough light for a few big photos outside. However, the mulled cyder (specific brand I wanted, which they were very accomodating in sourcing for us), was served just as we walked out of the ceremony, instead of guests being ushered outside and then offered their drinks as they came back in. I think that may have been my fault (I'm not sure), I think I may not have been clear enough about the order I wanted things done in. It worked out ok in the end because we got some nice night-time shots instead anyway. That was literally the only thing that was not how I expected. Everything else was perfect.

The food was fantastic, and they even put up with us changing the menu two weeks before the day to give choices of main instead of beef for everyone. The three mini puddings each served in oversize shot glasses went down really well I think.

We used the hotel's recommendation of DJ for the night entertainment, and a band (GM5) from the same entertainment company who have an ongong relationship with the hotel. The band were great, and the DJ did very well considering we hadn't really had contact with him beforehand to advise him of our tastes, and hadn't even chosen our last dance until the day. I just saw him when he was setting up while the room was turned around between the meal and the evening party, gave him a list of do's and don't's and we were very happy with the result.

We stayed in the Hussey Suite that evening, which was absolutely lovely. The pink curtains on the four-poster bath (yes, you read that right) might not to be everyone's taste, but the bath was huge, as was the very comfortable bed. I liked that you can see on the website the difference between the rooms in the old part of the hotel, done out with traditional heavy wood furniature, and the newer style rooms in the extention part of the hotel, to suit your choice. Before the day, the staff were happy to show us the rooms so we could see the difference, pick our own, and then advise guests. You wouldn't think so, but when we were trying to select a venue, there were some places that acted like things like that were a big ask, and like we were taking up their valuable time for asking to see the style of rooms our guests might stay in, whereas at the Hussey we were made to feel like we could take our time to make decisions and ask as many questions as we liked, and not be subjected to hard-sell or anything.

We have been back for meals in the hotel restaurant a few times since, but I would like to go back to stay there again at some point for a soecial occasion like a birthday or anniversary.

Overall we had a wonderful day. The staff couldn't have done more to help out in anything we asked for, and the food and service was spot-on. We definitely made the right choice to have our big day at the Hussey.

Hosted a wedding faultlessly, couldn't have been more perfect. Venue fantastic, Food was super and the staff brilliant. Can totally recommend Paul and his staff. Had a very good breakfast next morning.

Only bad point was our double bedroom which was very small, furniture mismatched, wardrobe was difficult to use as access was tight at the side of the bed. Tried to sit on lovely boudoir chair at the table to do my hair but the chair was too low and the mirror too high. Bed was very comfortable and ensuite very good.

No view out of the window which was patterned glass, when I opened the window to have a look at the countryside the reason became clear as the view was awful. Putting in the patterned glass was a good idea!!

A room this size in a hotel of this quality should really only be a single, it was certainly not worth the amount they are charging.

We stayed here as part of a wedding party for one night. Check in was swift and in fact the room was ready much earlier than expected which was a bonus. The room was clean and tidy and had everything you could possibly need. The grounds are beautiful and it is in superb surroundings which were perfect for the day of the wedding. Breakfast was also plentiful and was the perfect start to a long day. Couldn't help feeling that given the size of the room, the rate was a little expensive. Aside from that, a lovely stay.

Not a lot I can say.
Great place and great staff !
Love this place and spot on as usual !!
We had room 10 which has just been refurbed I think,plenty big enough and nice finishing touches.
Try it,better than the others including food and a decent price.
.................

. We were booked into one of the rooms that haven't been updated. The gal at check in was a delight and showed us the other rooms available. We were offered one of the updated rooms on the 1st floor. We stayed in the original room as we had our 2 small dogs with us and liked being close to the exit. As noted by a previous review this did face the parking lot. There was no noise from the cars coming in and out. Yes the room needs a bit of updating. If that bothers you make sure you ask for an updated room when booking! The room was well appointed everything did fit in. The room and bathroom very clean. We were offered help with our luggage even though we were on the ground floor. As this was part of a 2 week drive holiday we had several bags to bring in.
Breakfast was very good and yes we had the poached eggs and they were not hard! There was a wedding on Thursday so the hotel was very busy on Friday morning. There weren't any delays in service. We really liked the fact that all the food is locally sourced. There is plenty of choice with cereal, fresh fruit, eggs, sausage, bacon etc. You can get eggs cooked how you like them. No one can go hungry.
We had dinner one night in the restaurant which was excellent. The food being fresh and local makes a big difference. The portions were large we each had a starter and shared a main course.
The grounds as noted in most reviews are outstanding. The garden is a delight. We can see why it is such a popular venue for weddings. Very relaxing to sit outside and read.
There is a lovely walk to the early 15th century church on a path just outside the hotel. A good way to tire out the dogs!
The staff were outstanding. Every single member of staff was helpful, pleasant and made us feel that nothing was too much trouble. We don't want to single anyone out since everyone was equally wonderful. They really make you feel like you are at home away from home.
A few reviews noted the thin walls. We didn't hear too much only the occasional door open and close. We certainly weren't woken up from any noise which is surprising since the hotel was full both nights as there was the wedding and the flower show in Shrewsbury.
We would certainly stay again.

We've spent many wonderful evenings at the Hussey. Superb food, excellent service and warm surroundings. Perfect!

The hotel was excellent staff very capable and friendly. Food 5star. The only fault was in our room 9 the toilet could do with changing as its a bit stained at the bottom. Bleach would not get it off its caused with wear and tear.
The grounds are kept beautiful and the black swan in the stream with the ducks is a good attraction. They have a lot a weddings there? Which would be very good

What a kovely hotel, Staff amazing so friendly without being intrusive, great food amazing breakfast.. Nothing is to much trouble for the team..

When the sun is out the terrace is such a clam peavcefull place to sit and enjoy a nice cool drink.

Rooms comfortable and clean

We were given a gift of one night at the Albright Hussey Manor Hotel (high-street retail gift voucher scheme) and expected "the highest standards of comfort", words from their website. We were saddened to be directed to what appeared to be a 1980s wing where we were greeted by an overwhelming smell of air freshener. View from room: ground floor, overlooking four cars. Observations: cramped; room and decor tatty (see photographs) and in need of updating, in particular the bathroom; complementary home-made biscuits were out-of-date; bedroom walls/door very thin and we could hear everything - the room was next to the laundry and we could hear the washing machines, we could even hear the chap in the room next door going to the toilet; bedroom and corridor door slamming was very loud, making it difficult to sleep (especially when there is a wedding party in the hotel); wardrobe door would not fasten closed and was constantly open. A good point, the staff were friendly and helpful, especially the lady who served our breakfast on Sunday morning! In summary: cramped, tatty and noisy. We tolerated it for one night but would not return to this hotel.

Booked a room for one night on a Sunday to celebrate our 14th wedding anniversary. Was told on the phone we'd be in an exec double room with 4 poster bed. We were put in room 11 which is in the new part of the hotel. I believe the rooms in the original building are lovely but our room was really nothing special.
Went down for dinner at 7pm and was expecting the ala carte menu (a copy of this was in our room) but we were given the Sunday lunch menu. Food was OK, again very average. The waiter was a nice chap.
Breakfast the following morning was nice but don't order a poached egg, mine had a hard yolk and had obviously been left in too long.
Thin walls in the rooms - at 5-30 am I heard the person next door making her/him self a hot drink.

I cannot recommend this hotel highly enough.

We purchased an 8 course taster menu via Trazelzoo & decided to book overnight to make it more special. We only decided to book a room the day before & upon ringing the hotel direct was told that a room was available but it could be noisy due to wedding party. This alone impressed me as not many hotels are courteous enough to warn you of potential noise!

From the moment we arrived nothing was too much trouble. All the staff were friendly, attentive & courteous & special thanks must go to Malcolm for making our stay so pleasurable. Other hotels in the area should send their staff to the Albrighton Hussey to see how a hotel should be run.

Our room was furnished to a high quality & was well deserving of its 4 stars. The bathroom was modern with good facilities although if I was being picky it was a bit small.

The food was fabulous Malcolm even deviated from the taster menu to accommodate for me not liking two of the courses.

If you want a peaceful relaxing break in beautiful surrounding quality rooms & fabulous room then this hotel is for you.

We will definitely be returning to this hotel

Having purchased a chef's eight course taster menu from Travelzoo we decided to stay overnight rather than face a long drive. The hotel is a beautiful Tudor building in a rural location with good views all around. The main building has a terrace at the rear, lovely to sit and enjoy a glass of wine.

The room was compact but nicely and well-furnished (except for dreadful cheap-looking prints on the walls.) The bathroom was a good size. Soft furnishings and towels were of good quality and housekeeping throughout was very good.

The taster menu was well-presented and nicely cooked. Breakfast was very good.

Staff were friendly and efficient.

We would be happy to stay again.

We ahve stayed here a few times now for the odd night. We always have the Hussey Suite as it really is a treat for us. Four poster bath, four poster bed, lovely period room. This place is gorgeous! The food is amazing, the setting is pretty and the grounds are lovely. It is a wonderful place to visit and relax, and not too far from where we live either. Very happy to return here :) Slightly expensive, but in my experience you get what you pay for.

We have just returned from a wedding at the Hussey Manor, the staff were very attentive, happy and efficient..nothing was too much to ask.
The hotel itself, dating back to tudor times was amazing and the scenery would be hard to beat, both the hotel and views from the hotel to surrounding countryside. A superb wedding venue for anyone that is looking!
We would definitely go back.

Great wedding an night doo, staff were very cool, enjoyed my stay ,lovely area, relaxing an surprisingly quiet considering two busy roads near-by which you wouldnt know when on the grounds ;-) i would stay again an also eat here to as the food was nice to.

This has to be my favourite hotel, from checking in to departure, the staff are so helpful and friendly.
Being a warm night, it was suggested I had a drink in the gardens before dinner. Beautiful gardens, well kept and very relaxing.
Dinner again was first class, even though I am here often, there is always something different to try.
Love the hotel, love the rooms, love the food, what more can I ask for!
The staff make it that little bit more special, well done! Back soon.

Spent two nights at this hotel whilst attending a friend's wedding. The room was comfortable and clean with plenty of tea, sugar etc. The manor itself is an amazing eclectic building set in immaculately maintained grounds. It has to be the most picturesque place I have ever stayed. We ate there a couple of months ago whilst on a recce and the food was superb. On Friday evening we sat on the terrace until late evening. The meal was served to a group of guests there for the wedding in the old part of the manor. The staff are attentive and very pleasant and we were lucky to have beautiful weather.
The wedding ceremony was conducted outdoors in the beautiful gardens followed by a meal in the main function room. The only have one wedding at a time so effectively you have virtually all of the premises at your disposal. Food was superb and beautifully cooked. We will be returning in the near future to spend another weekend and visit some of the local attractions.
Only one word of warning. Your sat nav may take you the wrong way off the island at the bottom of the road.

Stayed here using a Fresh Weekends voucher as this looked the nicest option.

We stayed in room 25 which was one of the rooms in the modern block. Whilst not particularly spacious, it was comfortable, kept at a pleasant temperature and the bathroom facilities were very good. A full sized kettle and nice filter coffee in the room were pleasant bonuses.

We ate in the excellent restaurant in the evening of our one night stay where the food was good (excepting the desserts which weren't up to the standards of the rest of the food). The service was attentive and polite without being overpowering or patronising.

Breakfast was high quality in terms of service and quality too.

Overall an excellent night away from our four boys!

Second time at the Albright, both occasions working as a videographer at weddings. Found the staff to be unbelievably helpful and accommodating even for non-guests that were working the venue. Food was excellent, personal experience was sandwiches and buffet but so many guests commented on quality and quantity it can't be ignored. the manager we dealt with (Paul) was extremely knowledgeable and couldn't do enough to ensure we managed to do everything the bride and groom requested of us - not something all venues aim to do. The hotel itself is superbly set, beautiful for photgraphic reasons and far enough off the beaten track to not worry about strangers in the way. The rooms (in the main part of the hotel anyway) are superb and very well furnished. A place I'd happily choose to stay having worked there myself.

Had our wedding day here on the 2nd of June. It's fair to say with all my wife's instructions, requests and high expectations, The Albright and its staff were put under a lot of pressure. We're extremely happy to say that they not only delivered but exceeded expectations. The wole day was amazing and the staff couldn't do enough. All our guests loved every second of the day and we couldn't of asked for anymore (literally ha). Food was great and catered for all guests special requirements, gardens we beautifully kept and immaculate, staff were brilliant and always had a smile on there face. Special thanks to Paul who's organisations skills were top notch and brought the whole event together. Thanks for a great day. Rob and Selina x

I stayed here for a wedding so it was only one night but I thoroughly enjoyed my stay. The gardens are immaculate and the hotel is full of character. I stayed in the Regency suite at the top of the original part of the hotel. The room was spacious and en suite wad great. Breakfast was a buffet but very good nonetheless.

I stayed here with my husband after we had attended a wedding.

The wedding itself was absolutely beautiful, very well organised and in such a beautiful setting.

The food at both the wedding breakfast and the evening reception was excellent and the service was friendly and efficient.

The price of drinks at the bar was exhorbitant, there's no need to hike the cost up that high!

The room was disappointing, we had a room in the new part of the building, it was clean and tidy but quite small and very noisy.

There was a huge difference between what each couple got, one set of friends could hardly get round their bed whilst another had a suite and yet we all paid the same price, that was a little annoying,
The T.V was much smaller than you would expect in a hotel that charges those sort of prices.

Overall it is a beautiful place but make sure you get one of the better rooms if you can.

Stayed here from a 'Gift Experience' voucher.
Stunning hotel, beautiful setting.
All of the staff are ever so friendly and make an effort with their guests.
Room was clean and well decorated.
All the staff that work here are an asset to the business.

Must be the 5th time I've stayed here and again a great stay. Staff friendly and helpful and the same faces visit after visit.
Lovely room, good bed and good shower, the things that make life on the road so much better.
Dinner again first class, I love eating here, always something different to try. Thanks to all.
