Didn’t stay but very impressed with the fine dining experience in the restaurant. We had the tasting menu with matched wines. The whole experience, the food and the service were easily worthy of a Michelin star in our opinion….. A warm welcome into the bar for a glass of English sparkling wine (very pleased so many places are now serving this in place of champagne) and canapés then through to the table in the dining room, back to the bar for coffee and petit fours. Both rooms were medieval heritage style, like having dinner in a castle, beautiful decor and ambience. The chef was happy to substitute one item on the tasting menu that I didn’t think I would like and the sommelier even paired a new wine for me for the new flavour profile. The menu was creative and very well presented. Courses were carrot, hake, duck, cheese, and two sweets. I particularly enjoyed the carrot dish, exquisite flavours with dill and hazelnut. The Sommelier, Tomasz , was very knowledgeable and friendly and gave us a full run down of each wine. The wines were a superb enhancement to the flavour profile of each dish. Thoroughly enjoyable evening for my partners birthday. If you are coming by taxi be sure to book early as we had to ring several companies the day before to find one that was free.

We had a wonderful stay. Beautiful room, excellent cuisine, great martinis (stirred not shaken) and inspiring walks in the Shropshire countryside. We will be back as regulars.

Tucked away, cosy inn but with a luxurious feel. The rooms are beautiful (although found the bed a bit firm). The absolute stand out is the restaurant experience, incredible food and the staff are absolutely brilliant, attentive, knowledgeable but also very friendly. The bar area is lovely for drinks and the courtyard a great sun trap, even at the end of September. We enjoyed some brilliant walks through the countryside right from the door, fuelled by the very good breakfast.
