I can't rate the customer service here high enough, they were wonderful before we'd even arrived by actively contacting us to improve our booking. Whilst there, everyone was wonderful and pleasant which enhanced our experience (even when my 6yr old accidently set his menu alight on a candle!) The rooms are lovely and food was delicious. I'd recommend this place to everyone

My daughter Lydia and husband to be had their wedding here on Friday, from start to finish the staff were all outstanding. They navigated us through the journey from start to finish. We stayed in the Tower House then moved to the hotel the next morning for the celebration. They decorated the room to perfection, attentive staff and the food was amazing. I have stayed in beautiful hotels all around the world, but this little gem is well worth a visit if you are thinking of getting Married or a celebration. Keep doing what you are doing Rowton staff, you make everything so special and thank you chef for the wonderful food and for Gareth keeping us topped up with wine. 😀😀🥰🥰

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

The staff were lovely with nothing too much trouble. The food was superb in an amazing dining room with proper tablecloths and napkins !
This is a wonderful 800 year old castle with no lift so, if you have walking difficulties, ask for a room on the first floor.
The public rooms are magnificent but the bedrooms, while perfectly comfortable, would benefit from being brought up to date.
Anyway, all in all a thoroughly enjoyable stay and we shall be sure to return.

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!

Having had a spate of highly disappointing hotel stays, Rowton castle was refreshingly excellent. The staff go out of their way to make your stay pleasurable. The food is superb. The decor enchanting. I would highly recommend staying in this lovely establishment.
