About Soulton Hall

Soulton Hall is a red-brick Elizabethan manor house built in 1556, standing on a 500-acre estate of farmland and woodland a couple of miles east of Wem, around nine miles south of Whitchurch. Run by the Ashton family for generations, it combines period bedrooms in the main house with additional accommodation in the Carriage House and Rosalynde's Cottage on the grounds.

The hall's restaurant and bar serve meals through the day using produce from the estate where possible, and guests can explore the surrounding woodland and farmland on foot or by bicycle, with bikes available to hire on site.

Its rural setting means a car is useful, but the estate's history, architecture and quiet grounds make it a memorable alternative to a conventional hotel stay for visitors exploring the Whitchurch and Wem area.

I stay away for most of the time, I wanted a somewhat peaceful trip this time round. I stayed away for 2 nights. I really recommend this place if you’re looking for peaceful visit and with lots of historical meaning and beautiful scenery, for me I found it very special and interesting. The owners actually spent the time to talking to you and not just here just for your money. I was blown away by the room, very spacious with a 4 poster bed and a choice of a shower and a bath. My only criticism is they didn’t do evening meals which wasn’t an issue for me, as a delivery for food is an option or local six minute drive to the nearest shop. Overall it was a pleasant stay and I would gladly come back again next year

What a wonderful historic house and gardens. Saw an enthralling performance of the middle English masterpiece: The poetic vision of St Erkenwald, wonderfully performed. Thank you.

We were sold by the idyllic setting and fabulous video on their website. We paid £320 for 2 nights in their adjacent lodge house. We have a 5 month old and a 2 year old. The place was filthy, very tired and quite frankly, only fit for the local live stock. We had pre-booked a dinner reservation on our first night, only to be told that they won’t be serving dinner as the other guests weren’t eating that evening. I had also rang ahead and asked if there was a microwave so that I could sterilise bottles. I was informed there was. There was not! We were greeted by the owner on arrival (once we found him) and we were highly disappointed in the house. It was very dated and had a smell of damp. We decided to raise our concerns, as we could not allow our children to stay in such disgusting conditions. The staff were very very defensive and just couldn’t accept they have massively missold their ‘hotel’. We were not happy with paying, therefore received a partial refund. We did not end up staying! Instead we stayed at the beautiful Hall down the Road. This was absolutely beautiful. Please do not be fooled by the website and lovely pictures, the place is unfortunately borderline dilapidated.

Great day out watching the first of many outdoor theatre productions. Excellent initiative that deserves to succeed. We enjoyed William Shakespeare's "Two Gentlemen of Verona". Many laughs, happy patrons and happily employed actors. Well done!
