Rowton Castle

An absolute gem of a hotel and restaurant ! Luxuriously appointed with extensive grounds. Beautiful room with open countryside views. Dinner was extremely good and the chef made a special meal for my husband’s dietary requirements. This was offered not requested. Special mention must be made of the staff who are so friendly and professional. A truly five star experience.

We came here as a two night birthday treat away for my partners birthday. We thought the Castle, it’s grounds and the food were fabulous and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. All the staff were friendly and the service was impeccable. If we ever fancy a treat we might come back.

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

My husband and I were lucky enough to get taken to Rowton Castle for a night.From the moment we arrived we were blown away with the hospitality, the surrounding & whole atmosphere. Our room was a four poster room large , with a lovely en-suite corner whirl pool Bath & overhead shower . The view from our window was of the gardens which are kept in pristine condition. The restaurant had a lovely menu with lovely presentation , the wine was superb all in all a fantastic night. The following morning we headed to breakfast feeling full but that didn’t stop me eating a full English &my hubby smoke salmon it was delicious.All the staff bar, waiting, reception were so friendly, helpful & professional. This is a must go to place for that occasion . We have travelled all around the world staying at high class hotels and would rank Rowton Castle among the top .

A beautiful setting with an outstanding building. The castle was absolutely stunning and the staff made our stay even better. We received a free upgrade on arrival which was a real bonus!! We had dinner which was lovely and the breakfast was hearty and amazing value with a huge selection. Our stay overall was 10/10 would highly recommend this amazing location hotel.

We have just come back from a wedding venue tour at Rowton Castle and can’t wait to have them host our special day. Karen thank you for such a lovely morning, made us feel special and at home, a true credit to the team as are the wonderful staff we met in the building and around the grounds.

The wedding of our niece and her fiancé this first weekend of June 2024, and booked back in early 2020. It's been a traumatic world in that time but worth the wait. The castle is superb and we were lucky enough to experience an outdoors ceremony as the weather was very good. It's so much less stuffy done this way and the gardens and grounds of the hotel are beautiful, with wonderful views in all directions. We also stayed in one of the bed rooms overnight, which was located right at the top of a tower, overlooking the gardens and countryside to the rear. The sunset and sunrise were spectacular. The hotel is beautifully decorated, making it light and modern for an old building. The staff were great, though there was a hiccup at check-in where our room had been given to the wrong guests. Normally fine, but our niece had placed presents in there for us; awkward. All sorted later though. The food was very good with a delicious wedding lunch and BBQ food later in the garden for guests to enjoy all night. There were three bars in use throughout the proceedings but it was a bit of a shame that when we got there a bit early, we couldn't get a drink. Luckily they pointed us at the leisure club in the grounds where we were able to quench our thirst. All in all, a fantastic location to get married and great old building to do it in. Every detail was so well executed and all I saw were lots of happy people. Highly recommend.

Called in just for coffee when happened to be passing. Didn’t even know this place was here. It is so beautiful. Staff were extremely kind. What a lovely break from a long drive. If I lived nearer, or was getting married I would definitely come back!

We visited Rowton Castle for one of their wedding open days and it was certainly one for the best we have been to. The staff were all so welcoming and informative and certainly very experienced at planning and hosting weddings. The highlight is definitely the garden which is beautifully laid out and is an ideal setting for a fairytale wedding. Thank you to all staff for an excellent open day. Our son and future daughter in law have booked their wedding with you
