Rowton Castle

Consistently praised for immaculate cleanliness, delicious full English breakfast, comfortable beds, friendly staff, and reasonable pricing. Impressive location with easy access to a city park and convenient transportation.

A wonderful castle that is set in beutiful gardens and the shropshire countryside.

We stayed for one nights in September during a ‘non wedding’ period - apparently this is approximately 30 days a year. Easily found with plenty of parking. Extensive, well maintained grounds in both parkland and a formal style for the outdoor wedding area. Welcoming, friendly and efficient staff throughout. The property is furnished in a mix of pastel/pale country house and traditional ‘baronial’ styles - it worked very well for us with a dislike of modern/minimalistic (and often uncomfortable!) styling. Our traditionally furnished twin room on the top floor was of a decent size, comfortable and clean with an excellent modern bathroom. Please note that there is no aircon for warmer nights. There is no lift, but assistance is offered with bags. The restaurant is a low ceiling traditional wood panelled affair, and it works very well. Proper linen on the tables. As previously stated staff efficient and friendly, no ‘sniffy’ service here. The evening meal was excellent with well cooked/presented high quality ingredients. Some decent wines available at reasonable prices, with some more expensive choices for those so inclined. Breakfast was cooked to order and to a decent standard served by a friendly team of ladies. The comfortable and welcoming lounge (country house style) had wonderfully high ceilings with full length windows offering great views of the well tended gardens. An excellent experience - we just hope that it’s a ‘non wedding’ period when we’re back in the area!
