Great find. Would love to stay again in the Summer and explore the grounds. Natalie was so welcoming, helpful, nothing was too much of a problem. Mike/Mick (night porter) was also friendly and helpful. Great view from dining room over the gardens. We had a four poster bed but found it uncomfortable. The bedroom was lovely and the spa bath was great. A short walk to the High Street where there were a number of pubs if you didn't want to stay in the hotel.

We have stopped in many hotels and over the past 10 years and this is up there as an absolute delight. The staff are warm and friendly - all on duty over our stay need to be commended for their commitment to ensure guests feel looked after! The room was well equipped and we had a lovely view of the gardens. The breakfast was outstanding. A great base for travelling around Shropshire- such good value for money. Well done all

Lovely old fashioned room with a large single bed. Very comfortable bed and an ensuite shower room. All the staff were lovely and friendly and breakfast was delicious. I booked the hotel to use as a base to attend 3 race meetings. Cheltenham on the way up, Liverpool on day 2 and nearby Bangor-on-Dee on day 3. It worked out perfectly and I was even able to visit Wrexham as well, so no complaints from me.

Impressive building in wooded grounds. Excellent friendly service. Stayed in four poster suite which was disappointing, tatty old furniture and tired furnishings. Shower above bath was very difficult to use. Excellent breakfast. Would recommend this hotel but not the room we stayed in.

The hotel grounds are quite nice with a nice terrace to the rear with a pleasant garden view. The hotel itself is quite striking. Down side for us was the room had a view of an iron fire escape, and the working yard. Possibly I had booked a twin room due to my wife's recent hip operation, and so doubles may have far better views. Room was rather tired, but clean. Plus side is they give nice biccies, water. Big plus side is the staff are really friendly, helpful, and the breakfast was excellent.
