Old Downton Lodge in Shropshire

We had a lovely afternoon tea. Staff were attentive but not intrusive and the food was lovely, almost too much, almost 😊

We had the most wonderful, relaxing time at Old Downton Lodge. The staff are sweet and attentive but not overbearing. The accommodation was immaculate and cosy, very comfortable bed and pillows. The food was out of this world - exquisite presentation and flavours. Thank you so much to everyone for making our stay a fabulous experience. We will be back as Arnie said!

Brilliant standard of room, really professional staff and excellent food. Our stay was perfect

Great venue, excellent accommodation and the private dining experience was special. The staff were also extremely good.

Fantastic room, friendly staff, excellent food and beautiful countryside. Excellent find.

Had the perfect break here; what a gem of a find. Stunning setting and immaculate rooms. Friendly and super professional staff, breakfast was the highlight until we had an evening meal - our best dining experience ever, just exquisite. Thank you so much for making our stay so comfortable and special. Will be singing your praises to all!!

We spent just the one night in celebration of our twentieth anniversary. Everything about this place is of the highest possible standard, from the beautiful manicured gardens, to the attention to detail and standard of finish in all the construction and fittings of the rooms/stairs/bar area/restaurant, etc, to the efficiency yet friendliness and courtesy of the staff, the beautiful delicacy of the cuisine which, whilst the servings might be a little small were nonetheless of the highest culinary standard - I could go on. Yes, the prices are above average but in the light of my assessment as above, are entirely justified. There are no negatives to record. Thank you for a lovely, relaxing, rewarding and thoroughly enjoyable (albeit brief) experience.

I attended a wedding (previously cancelled due to Covid twice!) this weekend - a wonderful occasion for all in the lovely surroundings of Old Downton Lodge. Thanks to all guests and the staff for making it an occasion to remember for all including the bride Anna and groom Richard.

Old world dining room meets modern food. Eat in a beautifully restored oak beamed, converted grain store, that feels like a Middle ages great hall. With excellent food, a nice wine list and great service. Recommended.

We recently stayed at Old Downton Lodge for my Birthday and could not be happier with our stay. The hotel is a wonderfully secluded and characterful property, and our immaculately maintained room was lovely.The staff were incredibly helpful, polite and conversational - nothing was too much for them. I enquired about the local shoot and the owner very kindly provided a brochure for me to take away.One point in particular worth a separate mention is the restaurant. The food and wine were absolutely sublime. Every ingredient on our plates was cooked with absolute precision and worked wonderfully.A big thank you to all the staff at Old Downton Lodge.
