Rowton Castle Hotel

About Rowton Castle Hotel

Rowton Castle stands in its own parkland a few miles west of Shrewsbury on the road towards Welshpool, its castellated Georgian and Victorian frontage looking out over lawns, mature cedar trees and open countryside towards the Welsh hills. Inside, the house keeps a country-house atmosphere, with a grand staircase, high ceilings and log fires in the reception rooms.

Bedrooms vary between the main house and a garden wing, with several of the principal rooms retaining a genuinely historic character, tall sash windows and views over the grounds. The hotel's restaurant makes use of the setting for weddings and private dining as well as everyday guests, and the parkland itself is large enough for a proper walk without leaving the grounds.

Its position close to the Welsh border makes it a useful base for exploring both Shrewsbury and the Welsh Marches, with the town itself a short drive back along the A458.
