羅頓城堡飯店

This lived up to expectations. The reviews on here were all pretty good, but sometimes reality doesn't quite match, but we were very impressed with our 1 night midweek bed and breakfast stay. Had a lovely 4 poster room in one of the turrets and a super freshly cooked breakfast, all for a very reasonable price. It's a short 12 minute drive into Shrewsbury and so much more character than many of the city hotels, you get to play castles! Would definitely return if in the area and we can imagine this would be a perfect setting for a summer wedding.

We spent our anniversary at Rowton Castle, and from the moment we arrived, it felt like stepping into a fairytale. The setting is stunning – a beautiful blend of history and romance nestled in peaceful, manicured grounds. Our overnight stay was nothing short of perfect. The room was elegant and full of character, with thoughtful touches that made it feel truly special. From the warm welcome to the turn-down service, the attention to detail throughout was outstanding. Dinner was a highlight – each course was beautifully presented and bursting with flavour. The menu was clearly crafted with care, and the staff were knowledgeable, friendly, and attentive without ever being intrusive. Every request was met with a smile, and the service felt effortlessly smooth. It was the perfect romantic escape – peaceful, luxurious, and unforgettable. We left feeling incredibly relaxed and already planning our return. Highly recommend Rowton Castle for anyone looking to celebrate a special occasion in style xx

We attended a wedding here last weekend. The venue is superb, the staff were welcoming and did everything to make the whole event run smoothly. The only issue was the wedding breakfast. The main course was superb but the starter was inconsistent with some guests having a better experience than others, the worst was the dessert - completely uncooked, solid pastry throughout a Mille Feuille dessert which was inedible and the staff know this as every person on our table didn’t eat it. We did not complain or let the Bride and Groom know as we didn’t want to spoil their day. Writing this so that the venue can pay more attention to the catering aspect of their offering, it’s hard to imagine that they didn’t know the dessert was a disaster and shouldn’t have been served as it was!

A one night, dinner bed and breakfast deal on a Monday for us. Just under £180. Nice room, decent bed, and a good night sleep so no complaints there. Dinner exceeded expectations. This is essentially a wedding venue, and I expected a decent meal but with a mass catering look to it. Not so. My wife had a Sirloin steak that she rated better tasting and more tender than its equivalent served up up in a specialist steak house in Manchester two weeks ago and at less than half the cost. I had chicken escalope. Moist meat. Crumbly coating and a full plate - very nice.. Good produce, very well cooked, and nice, efficient staff keeping us all happy. Outstanding views from any window. Bottom line for us- a great value overnight stay. I maybe should add. The previous night we paid £290 for a similar deal in a hotel in Market Drayton. In the car on the way home both my wife and I agreed that we got poor value for our money on the first night, and really good value on our second night. Well worth a try people, but avoid wedding days goes without saying for a relaxing overnight stay

I attended Thomas & Laura's Wedding 4th Dec. The whole event was magical. Food was excellent and staff & service exceptional. Breakfast was very good and overall Christmas experience definitely deserves a 10 plus. Thank you Rowton Castle.

The staff here are just wonderful…the most welcoming and happiest I have come across in ages… perhaps it is the wonderful surroundings? We stayed as a one night jolly as part of a visit to Shrewsbury. There is a city park and ride 5 minutes from the hotel which is also very convenient. Room was very pretty with a wonderful view. The breakfast was very good, I had full English which was cooked to order. Slightly disappointed in my evening meal but that might have been a bad choice rather than the cooking. My husband thoroughly enjoyed his. We would definitely come again..though… A few little things to mention, There is no lift and our room was two floors up and the stairs were very steep, quite prohibitive for some people with cases. Our room was a tad cold, it was November after all, and the room was not as warm as I would like it. The walls between rooms are very thin, we could hear the people in the next room quite clearly. The hospitality tray had no teaspoon and a couple more ordinary tea bags would have been appreciated. Lastly, and I know this is petty, if you order some crisps with your pre dinner drinks it would be so much nicer to put them in a dish not put the bag on the table… not very classy. However all said this is a classy establishment and though a wedding venue primarily, it makes a great place to stay visiting Shrewsbury and the area if you can booked in!
