“Rowton Castle impressed me as a wonderfully preserved slice of Shropshire history, its 17 acres providing genuine tranquility. I was particularly struck by its commitment to exclusivity for wedding events and the highly-regarded Cedar Restaurant. It seems a place where the details-from the four-poster beds to the attentive staff-genuinely matter.”

The view from my "cedar room" was less than inspiring. It was mostly a brick wall. a minor issue, but the bathroom radiator remained stubbornly cold. the food quality was just average. it's a shame really.

Excellent Castle Stay

The castle exterior presents beautiful gardens and outdoor seating areas. The hotel was quiet and relaxing. The three-course dinner was skillfully prepared. A waiter provided very professional service with a smile. Nothing was too much trouble.
Finding the staff to order drinks took some time on two evenings.
