What a delightful find. Wanted a couple of nights up near Shrewsbury to visit some friends are the sample menu is what really did it for me. The food is very very good.
Its based around a near 600 year old pad and has been expanded a bit, but fundamentally is very old. So the comments on TA about cobwebs or a bit or dust or dirt, or a draught ... well .. that what you get with very old places. They need airflow or get damp (so go to a Premier Inn if you want sterile). This said, on the Friday is was very very cold. You can get heaters for the rooms and they will take the chill off. This is very old building on top of a hill so when its cold and windy, expect a bit of chill. Rooms are nice and no problem at all.
We booked dinner for both nights as we could not be bothered to travel and so glad we did. Just amazing food (if the attachments are not stripped by TA then I posted images). The Haggis sausages with the Guinea fowl were just amazing ! Lovely breakfast as well: Full English, pastries, Kippers & Smoked Haddock ... even made some porridge for someone who asked for it.
Its a small hotel and in the bar area people talked to each other. Pleasant atmosphere with invisible bar staff... until you needed a top up and would miraculously just appear ... all so very chilled, relaxed and pleasant.
All the staff were very friendly and helpful but the star of the show was Malcolm (the Manager). He made everyone chuckle and not hard to see why the staff like working for him. Nothing was too much trouble.
They do weddings there and I was surprised that last year it was 98 but there is a large function room so I would doubt there would be any real disturbance (unlike many a hotel). I am amazed the Black Swans they have are not bored of them all being just by their moat by now.
We travel around a fair bit and this is hotel is most definitely on the 'must return too' list

Superb in every way
Gorgeous period hysteric Shrewsbury family owned hotel
Superb tremendous staff with excellent customer service customer happiness standards
Go more than that extra mile definitely go above and beyond for its customers even when we came down late for breakfast the lovely lady chef accommodated us still and was lovely .
Malcom And his team were fantastic he is the General Manager and outstanding host .
Barry the night porter a very kind accommodating pleasant chap a pleasure to chat to and Kirsten who did my original booking and our checkout outstanding
My advice to people is book the hotel direct not through a booking agency because it is much better Kirsten was amazing when Booking.com messed my original booking up but she sorted it and was so lovely efficient and brill so well done to her .

Booked my staff Christmas function here for the 2nd time. The food was beautiful and the waiting staff did an excellent job. There were novelty items on the table which provided great amusement for everyone there, not just our table. The decorations were beautiful. There was a DJ who played requests and all the best cheesy tunes. Was a great night, and all for less than £30! Highly recommend.

Nice little private hotel away from the main road with nice gardens and country views from rooms. We visited for a wedding but did not stay in the hotel. The quantity of parking is reasonable but it’s tight to navigate for bigger vehicles and can fill up quite quickly when a larger event like a wedding is being held on top of residential guests. The catering was efficient and tasty but lacking in that our table made two requests during the meal (children’s cutlery and more bread) which were quite rudely and flatly refused. The decor at the venue was nice with the garden and old Tudor style house being an excellent backdrop for a wedding ceremony and inevitable photos. They also have a seated terrace area with outdoor wood fired over adjoining the main function room which was a pleasant addition and provided nice extra outdoor space on top of the garden terrace for the party after the wedding breakfast however this was slightly marred as this walled seated terrace was a sun trap and became unbearably hot on this sunny afternoon and the venue needs to invest in some temporary umbrellas or something for well dressed guests on hot days. We asked about umbrellas and again were flatly refused. Also if the adjacent farmland is being harvested on your event day you may get big dust clouds invading your event in the gardens as we did. All in all a decent venue with only a couple of niggles to sort. The hotel has spa facilities available at a local spa down the road which they promote but is not on the hotel site. I would return and recommend.

Went for a friend's wedding. Very well organised and all went to plan/time. Lovely grounds. We stayed for two nights, rooms are bit dated/tired and only downside the very thin walls, sound does travel easily. So for a light sleeper ear plugs would be useful. Staff throughout our stay were helpful in the most part with some interesting characters but required the few experienced staff to be able to deal queries which sometimes never got answered as they were busy with other work. Would go back for another wedding.

Friendly staff. Very clean rooms and comfortable bed. Daily water and sweets in the room. My guide dog even got a clean towel every day. The food was good, could do with better choice of veg.

The sandwiches and scones and cream were delicious.
Would definitely recommend.

Sunday beef roast was good although I have had better and have had more generous servings of the roast meat. The room provides a wonderful ambiance and the service was near-perfect. Malcolm was a particularly generous host!

Went to wedding reception here. Drinks a bit pricey. Venue gorgeous, decorated beautifully for reception. Outside the building the grounds were lovely and we'll maintained and building itself was old and lovely.

We stayed in the hotel last week for a family wedding and we were delighted with the friendliness of all the staff and the excellent service we received. The hotel is a perfect setting for any stay, but particularly so for a wedding. Highly recommended!

Enjoyed an excellent evening meal here. Staff are quick and efficient at serving and clearing away empty plates and glasses. The property itself has a homely atmosphere and great surroundings.

Such a stunning looking venue, with good staff. Perhaps a little tired in parts and some finer cleaning aspects to address, but we enjoyed our stay and food.

A beautiful hotel with incredibly friendly and helpful staff. Highly recommend the rooms in the oldest part, which dates from 1524.
