Albright Hussey Manor Hotel
Latest Reviews
Arrived during a wedding reception - we weren't warned about this. Very busy and extremely noisy. Parking in the normal hotel bays non-existent. Loads of weeding guests blocking the reception area so had to park in hotel overflow and carry our suitcases to the hotel. Not a good start! Reception pleasant but showed us into room 6 where the only window has obscured glass and looks out onto a wall and a a BIOMASS machine. This is a room which as the hotel staff say they 'have' to let out but should never be rated as an executive room. If the Bio-mass machine is left on overnight it makes noises all night - not very pleasant!!
The staff admit that the night staff should turn it off for the night but hadn't on this occasion - not very comforting to the guest. The hotel says it offers the 'highest standards of comfort' - it certainly didn't on this occasion. We weren't the only guests to complain - there were at least two other couples at the desk complaining. A shame because the food was good.

Really loved this place, what a gem in the countryside. Easy to find, easy to park, easy to stay at traditional country hotel.
Restaurant of real quality, service and taste.
Service professional and not too "in your face" like some I've encountered.
Wonderful view from the bedroom window and not too far from Shrewsbury.
Just try it, trust me

My friend got married here recently and I can honestly say it is one of the most stunning venues I have ever been too. The staff were all very friendly and the food for the wedding breakfast was delicious. I would recommend any couples looking for a venue to go and look around this manor. We didn't stay over night, but from what I heard the rooms are lovely too.

We stayed here as my husbands colleague had wedding here. We checked in early so we also had lunch in the restaurant of this hotel. The food was nice but it was not amazing. However, the rooms were very nice, it almost felt you went back in time. The staff was friendly and could not do enough for you. When we went for evening reception they did not have the drink we wanted so we went over to the restaurant where we had a meal (it is restaurant which is part of hotel) and the bar attendant who was chatting to us earlier while we were waiting for table was still there. He served us and was so kind he send the bottle of gin over to the bar so we could carry on drinking it while at wedding reception. This was such an amazing gesture. The bar attended was so chatty and we laughed so much. Back to room, this was clean and tidy and beds were comfy. The surroundings are also very nice as well as photos as well as just walk around. We really enjoyed our stay and want to say well done to amazing staff.

Stayed overnight at this lovely hotel. The staff were friendly and helpful from the moment we arrived and the location was perfect for us being close to Shrewsbury but far enough out for peace and quiet. Would certainly return if in the area. Well maintained grounds and hotel and good breakfast in a lovely restaurant.

My niece chose this place as her wedding venue and I have to say it didn't disappoint. A beautiful setting and a well maintained old building with plenty of character and charm. Lots of little nooks and crannies to sit peacefully in. The staff were outstanding polite and cheerful throughout the whole day and worked very hard. Food was first class. A comfortable nights sleep and a great breakfast the next morning, cooked to order with plenty of choice. Would recommend this place.

Wonderful hotel. Great location to tour Shropshire. Staff, food and facilities first rate. Of particular note, the restaurant staff especially Malcolm provided great service, knowledgeable and entertaining.

Breakfast was a serious disappointment. Over=priced, scant quantity and obviously organized
to ct costs. Public rooms were a delight as were the grounds. Private room however was only
mediocre and did not justify the hotel's 4 star rating.

I stayed here during a weekend. It was a perfect retreat for a couples get away. The place has charm and character and the service is excellent. The room was comfortable and well decorated. It was small but we knew about the size so it was no surprise. It got everything that you expected for a hotel of this type. There was a Wedding being celebrated and so it was a bit noisy in the corridor (Not the hotel's fault).
The breakfast was buffet and it was of good quality and was well presented. The dining hall is beautiful and let you relax and pass a good time. The gardens are small but really nice and well maintained and there is parking on site.
I would come back and stay longer to enjoy the surroundings a bit more.

A relative of mine chose to have her wedding at Albright Hussey Manor. What an exceptional venue for the event and the associated stay was most enjoyable.
The staff here are very professional, efficient and friendly. Check in was easy and my room was clean, well equipped with lots of wardrobe space, a supremely comfortable mattress and a large bath.
The little treats and room niceties such as a bowl of sweets, hot chocolate along with the tea and coffee tray and some very pleasant shower gel and shampoo to use in the very strong power shower.
Breakfast I always believe to make or break an hotel stay. Albright Hussey did the right things by me. Plenty of different juice and cereal choices, a danish selection and yogurts various. For the traditionalists a buffet style full English was available but for me the smoked haddock with a couple of poached eggs is the best way to start a day. A rack of toast appeared and with relief the waitress brought me some sachets of marmite, however you do seem to have to ask for it but full marks for having it available.
A great wedding party, a very good night's sleep and then a hearty breakfast made for a perfect weekend. Highly recommended!

Welcoming polite, attentive staff without being intrusive allowing you to relax. Surroundings are calm and serene both internal and external. Excellent chefs which reflects in the high culinary standard delivered across a broad menu. The owner Paul is often working in the background indicating his personal investment and commitment to delivering quality. He has chosen his staff well as I have witnessed little change over this period, none more so than the engaging and consummate professional by the name of Malcom who pulls the whole operation together whilst adding the personal touch that makes you feel special. He is without doubt an expert in customer relations and probably one of the many reasons that people return. In addition the bar manager Javier who has a skill set which is second to none especially his knowledge of wine, cheese and local produce. I strongly recommend this venue.

From start to finish a great stay! Very welcoming and friendly, beautiful grounds and setting, great breakfast (no problems catering for a vegetarian), perfect shower and immaculately clean room. It's also extremely good value.
Nice to find a hotel of this quality that is independently owned. It's how hotels should be with an individual/personal touch. If you don't like soulless chain hotels then this hotel is perfect. Not that far from park and ride and easily accessible.

Dog Friendly:
The most dog friendly hotel i have visited. As dogs were (understandably) not allowed in the public dining area, they set a table up for us in a private dining area so our collie could join us. We were waited on hand and foot and the food was very tasty.
The manager even gave us a big blanket for the dog and made a fuss of her as did the other staff.
The Staff:
A lovely welcome from the manager and the receptionist. All the staff were very welcoming infact from start to finish, they couldn't do enough for you. Was even offered a free room upgrade on arrival.
Breakfast:
Very nice and plentyful. I had the continental that consisted of: Cereals, alsorted fresh meats and cheeses, pastries, toast, jams and my coffee topped up without having to ask. The spanish waiter was very professional and friendly.
The grounds:
Amazing. loved the entrance up the long country driveway. Great location to take my dog out for walks as we were surrounded by fields. Great location for weddings as the gardens were immaculate were a large patio area with beautiful views and they even had a large outside bar. There were lovely streams and ponds around the grounds filled with wildlife including beautiful white swans and ducks etc.
Rooms:
Lovely room. very clean, large and modern. Tea making facilities and TV. Very comfortable bed and very quiet in the evening.
Location:
Great for feeling you are in the middle of countryside however short drive from shops, restaurants etc. My husband was at the RAF Shrawbury so the hotel made a good base to be near him.

Stayed at this lovely hotel for 3 nights this week on business,I was greeted by the general manager Malcolm .on arrival at 9.30 pm whom immediately said ,let's get you a drink and some dinner,the staff at this hotel are friendly courteous and very professional,the food at the hotel was very nice and cooked to order ,breakfast was freshly made and tasty,from the outset every member of the Albright team from the general manager to the chamber maid ,took time to chat to me and made my stay very enjoyable,so different from the wooden non interactive staff at the hiltons and holiday inns I normally stay in,the rooms are also very comfortable,nice comfy bed ,although the sinks are a bit to big for the bathroom ,minor moan.all in all a great team of professional staff whom seem to enjoy their work , and a lovely touch was a sherry at reception,thanks again to al at the Albright hussey hotel for making my stay most enjoyable.

Just like to say the biggest thank you to the Albright team for making our wedding on 7th July truly amazing! During the run up to the big day everyone kept commenting that me and my husband were so relaxed however we knew we had the perfect venue and everything would run smooth due to the hard work and attention to detail from Paul and his truly amazing team. The venue is absolutely stunning and the food is gorgeous and of extremely high standard. We have visited on various occasions outside of the wedding day to eat in the restaurant and every time the food has been amazing! Absolutely fallen in love with the Albright Hussey and the amazing team for which nothing is ever too much trouble. Thank you again and can't wait to book our next trip back! :-) recommend to everyone!

I stayed with friends using the hotel as a base for an event off site. From the time spent at the hotel i can only say that i wish i'd stayed longer. The staff obviously work exceptionally hard yet the service from all staff was phenomenal (Particularly Malcolm, General Manager). Rooms were well kept and the breakfast was plentiful and tasty. From what i saw of the grounds it is a stunning venue - i hope that the weather stayed dry for the wedding party that was also resident. Very well priced and would not hesitate to stay again.

Had a fantastic day at the wedding, food was great, staff were ok, venue is stunning.
One irritation!
You are in the middle of nowhere so forget 4G or even 3G on your phone. I asked a member of staff if they could help with the code and it was... are you staying here? I replied no, but I am here for the day as part of the wedding party...
Her reply was my hand are tied I cant give it out...
Very unhelpful for a family that spent thousands of pounds on a wedding, it was a slight irritation.
I ended up getting the code of a wedding guest...
Hands tied....
Erm...
Poor response

We stayed for a romantic week end. Location is good - just off the ring road. We ate in the hotel on first night, and both breakfasts - staff were lovely and the food was excellent! The restaurant is in the old original part of the manor - just lovely! The rooms, however, were in the modern extension - small but acceptable. Could do with a bit of care and attention - the mirror is crooked, the shower leaks. Bed firm but comfy. Pillows too soft. Problem came later with a prom dinner on the first night, and wedding reception on the second. All the smokers tend to congregate outside the front door under our room - smoke not a problem but the noise is. Suggest asking for a room in the old part of the manor? And do take ear plugs!

Albright Hussey Manor is an attractive period hotel with lovely views and walks near by. It is a pet friendly hotel, so perfect for those weekend getaways with the dogs, however if your dog is getting on in years as ours and finds stairs a problem, there are no lifts to the upper floors.
The staff were really helpful and friendly, food was good and the room clean and comfortable.

Looking for a romantic evening, a celebration or relaxing break then consider this hotel. The evocative and cosy restaurant offers interesting and well prepared dishes (cheese board, sea bass and steak were outstanding) served by attentive yet not intrusive staff. Bedroom 16 was small but perfectly adequate (some special rooms in the main house) I particularly appreciated the power shower and large wardrobe.
Special mention has to go to the staff who dealt with everything with a smile, patience and a can do attitude. Thanks one and all.
