Stayed here as an overnight stop after visiting friends in Market Drayton, very impressed, every aspect of our stay was perfect. Our room had been recently redecorated and was in pristine condition, good and comfortable bed, bathroom a little on the small side but perfectly fine. Nice, quiet countryside location, set in lovely grounds in a historic house in which Garibaldi stayed during his visit to Britain. Evening meal was very good, prices very reasonable; breakfast was lovely, excellent coffee. Staff all very pleasant and approachable, also made friends with the two resident cats who were adorable.

We had a comfortable stay at Upper House and slept well. Breakfast was enjoyable, and we also had dinner during our visit, the food was lovely and a real highlight. However, the room cleanliness was fairly basic and could be improved. The staff were polite but didn’t come across as particularly warm or welcoming. The property itself feels quite dated and would benefit from modernisation, as it seems to have remained largely unchanged for many years. It’s also worth noting that the venue hosts weddings, which means you can sometimes feel like you’re part of the event as a guest. While we were fortunate to stay on the opposite side this time, rooms closer to the celebrations, especially those above could experience noise that may affect sleep.
