Staff very nice especially at breakfast. The room although very clean was very dated. The Manor was definitely needing some TLC too.

Beautiful old hotel in the countryside. Surrounded by fields and a lovely walk to Battlefield farm shop. Very close to Shrewsbury town centre. We parked at Battlefield park and ride which was really convenient. Stayed at the hotel for a private party. Function tool was lovely.

Very disappointed.
Definitely not deserving of 4 star rating- this hotel is desperate for an upgrade. The TV is tiny and had very poor channel choices. The driveway gives a good impression then you are completely let down. Everything needs review and upgrade.

Wheres the switch?
Okay, so Shrewsbury is not the easiest place to stay on a budget. At the time of booking perversely, the Albright Hussey was over a hundred pounds cheaper over the two nights than a Premier Inn or Travelshed. The room i was is was quirky, there were 2 single beds and the bathroom was bigger than the bedroom. Getting back late in tge evening, the main room lightswitch is at the bottom of the stairs that go up to the bedroom, when you get upstairs, theres no switch to turn off the main light, so you have to go back down the stairs, turn off the light, then use the torch function to go back up to bed. The towel rail fell off the wall in the bathroom, (Wrong rawlplugs for a plasterboard wall and too short screws) and the foot fell off the corby trouser press when i moved it to get the to the plugs behind. The bathroom was straight out of Versaille. As i say, quirky.

Good hotel close to Shrewsbury
Lovely place, very friendly staff, very clean, loads of hot water and nice coffee/tea facilities in room and good range of bathroom products. Falls down on not always being able to serve guests with dinner due to functions being held there and breakfast is only served and full breakfast at weekends, otherwise it’s a help yourself continental.

Old building but expensive for what it is. Restaurant is very nice but the standard of catering is very poor. You have to book food before you arrive from a very basic and simple menu. More a BnB than a rated hotel.

Beautiful Tudor hotel
A fabulous historic hotel set in glorious Shropshire countryside. Staff were very attentive and friendly, both to us and our dog! Lovely bedroom with lots of extras. Only disappointment was not being able to eat there on either night of our stay due to functions.

Expected More For Price of Room
A lovely place to stay, clean and friendly. Disappointed with the breakfast which was a brown paper bag filled with cereal type bars and croissants. Yoghurt and pots of porridge were available. Apparently a cooked breakfast is only served at weekends. It said on the website that the hotel was located 1.6 miles from Shrewsbury town but it was approx 3 miles. A £10 taxi ride into town for tea.

Fantastic
Absolutely fantastic..Lovely accommodation in a super location..Really friendly and helpful staff..One kind lady even helped my wife order food as the venue couldn’t provide food due to wedding reception taking place. This was clearly stated to us prior to arrival and the staff were more than happy to recommend alternative food establishments in the area..please don’t let the fact it’s a wedding venue put you off staying. We were not disturbed by it in the slightest. Can’t recommend highly enough and can’t wait to stay again.

Poor value for money
The room simply was not worth the money. When I booked I searched for Shrewsbury town centre. Other hotels came up with a distance from the centre. This said ‘Shrewsbury’ so I thought it was the centre. In fact it was out of town with no nearby amenities. They texted after booking to say they were not serving food that night. Out of town but not serving food when they advertise a restaurant? Taxi to the restaurant they recommended, which was nothing special and had already stopped serving. They kindly offered to make up a sandwich, which is more than was on offer at the hotel. In the morning, you could buy a takeaway bag of food (dried cereal, breakfast bar that sort of stuff). I get the impression that if you are there for a wedding it is great, but outside of that they are charging high end rates for little more than a B&B.

Beautiful outside, shame about the inside!!
So disappointed. Our room was filthy, the carpet was damp, there was grime in the sink, cobwebs everywhere. It's not right to want to come home and shower after a night away because the room made you feel dirty. We stayed in the "most" luxurious room, the mattress was so uncomfortable and the walls paper thin could hear other guests!!! I understand it's 'Tudor' that is no excuse for how filthy the room was. It hasn't been thoroughly cleaned for a while. I love period rooms and have stayed in many beautiful places. This was not one of them. It needs a very big facelift or prices of rooms need to be dropped dramatically. We will not be back!!

Reasonable Overnight Stay
Had to let ourselves in, no staff to be seen. Room was small but clean and well equipped. Kettle, coffee (instant coffee, tea bags, only one hot chocolate sachet, and two filter coffee one cup pods) Bathroom was pleasent and towels were soft and white, good quality toiletries provided. Shower screen leaked on the floor. Decore was dated in colour, beige and cream. Bed was firm. Only real complaint was the bedroom curtains which were not black-out lined so had trouble sleeping from about 5.00am.

The location of Albright Hussey Manor Hotel is ideal as a base for visiting Shrewsbury and the local area. It's very close to one of the park and ride facilities. The beautiful scenery around the hotel and the fact that it is set back about half a mile from the A528 as well as the impressive historic buildings that form part of the hotel, make this an idyllic and peaceful spot. The grounds are beautiful, enhanced by the residence of a pair of black swans on the moat-like pond in front of the ancient buildings. There is a lawn, complete with open-sided marquee, and accessories ready and waiting for wedding parties. Our accommodation, set in a (1980's?) Block was disappointing in that it was feeling a little tired, still in 1980s mode. An attempt had been made to update with new curtains and scatter cushions. Traditional bedroom furniture was quality made and well cared for. The tea and coffee making facilities were adequate although located in thenwardrobe where it was difficult to get sufficient light to see what one was doing. Although understandable, due to Covid, it was disappointing that room service was not offered and that we weren't advised of this fact on arrival, nor how we might obtain replacement supplies. For the same reason, and staff shortages, there was no breakfast or dinner available during our stay; again, disappointing but that meant we were able to explore other alternatives in the area.

A disappointing stay
The hotel looks lovely from the outside, we checked in staff not over friendly but she was efficient. The room was clean overall but a large spider in the light fitting and a few live ones in room i know this is not hotels fault but i feel rooms should be checked before guests arrival. The breakfast was served on a cold plate and the food was cold, it was mentioned to staff and they did not charge us for one of our breakfasts but i found the cost of £15 per guest rather expensive for what it was
