Our 3rd visit in just over 12 months, we love it here. When the suns out it’s even better, being able to sit and have a drink in the manicured gardens. Of course the highlight is the food, simply superb, a little pricey, but worth it for a special occasion.

Wonderful.
Cannot rate eco friendly as no idea what is required.
Bedside lights were not good for reading in bed and would have preferred squashy armchairs or sofa to the sit up and beg armchairs.
Small criticisms.
Food was exceptional and it was peaceful and quiet in gorgeous countryside.

Beautiful Old Lodge in Stunning Countryside

Beautiful renovated house and farm buildings dating back to the sixteenth century. Our room (2) was on the upper floor above the courtyard with high vaulted rafters and stone interior. Superb lighting options, excellent comfortable bed, two seater sofa, tea and coffee and wardrobe with plenty of hangers in the bathroom. It felt high quality and spacious. The bath was excellent with a rain shower over the bath. We went in winter but the courtyard had plenty of seating in little garden areas which would be lovely on a summer's day. The hotel lounge and dining room was excellent with the latter feeling like a grand small room in an elegant castle. Both dinner (tasting menu) and breakfast were first class. The area is remote (15 minutes from Ludlow) with some challenging driving in back lanes but it is stunning, offering lovely walks in the better weather. We felt well looked after and would not hesitate to return.

Great place to stay

Great place for couples wanting a quiet, relaxing location with great food and accommodation. The setting and buildings are lovely and the staff couldn't do enough for us.
There are plenty of walks nearby in beautiful countryside if you're feeling energetic. The only thing I can think of which might improve the experience is that I would have liked a softer bed. Maybe a choice, depending on the room?

Top quality deep in the Shropshire countryside

It's 'a restaurant with rooms'. Top-quality rooms in a converted mediaeval building. Excellent level of appointment including wi-fi, TV, large attractive bathroom, access direct to outside courtyard. God quality breakfast with varied menu. Lovely lcation in the middle of nowhere, surrounded by sheep. Pricey though!

Comfiest bed I have ever slept in

Comfiest bed I have ever slept in. Lovely renovation and really clean. Gardens are beautiful.
However, the three course a la carte menu really is just dishes from the taster so portions are very small. They catered for gluten free which was really helpful. All food is locally sourced and delicious.
We didn't have a hot shower on two occasions. Apparently the boiler had tripped, but it wasn't fixed before we left.
With the turndown service, the shortbreads and teabags weren't replaced and neither was the toilet roll.
There is absolutely NO phone signal at all, or wifi (shows signal but you can't actually get anything) so if you are a working professional (like us) this is a nightmare! TV signal also sketchy.
We felt overall that the venue is amazing, but that the things which make the biggest customer service impact weren't dealt with in a very easy manner.
We would like to stay again for more food and a hot shower!

Nice Stay at Downton

Good service and nice location. Breakfast was good. Unfortunately the hotel restaurant was closed on Sunday & bank holiday Monday. Roads are very narrow to & from property, especially the road from the South. Room beds slightly small, had one hour delay before check in as room wasn’t ready but we were looked after by the nice staff during this time.

A great overnight stay

My wife and I stayed in room 9 recently. It was a nice room just outside main reception. We had the 6 course taster menu and every course was brilliant!! We have been to many michelin starred restaurants and this is one of the best meals i have had. The english breakfast also was very well made but there could have been more of it!! The staff were friendly and attentive throughout our entire stay. We would definitely consider staying again.
