This is an absolutely amazing hotel. We stayed for one night and had a lovely dinner. The staff were all very friendly and welcoming which added to the experience. The grounds are also beautiful and the perfect place to relax and have a few drinks.

The approach to the hotel is through beautiful surroundings beautifully tended. The gardens are manicured and a relaxing environment to spend time. The welcome from Debbie was both friendly and remarkably efficient (she didn't even have to ask our names) and the service she provided throughout our stay was even better. The room - and especially the bed - was comfortable and clean with a lovely view over sweeping fields. The restaurant was charming and quiet, albeit a little warm on the first sunny day we've seen for a while. The menu offered sufficient choice (not too much), the food was good, well cooked, and the starters were excellent. Service in the restaurant, both at dinner and breakfast, was outstanding - with especial thanks to Lewis (Luis??) for looking after us - and retrieving my hat when I left it under the table. We only stayed one night, as a half-way stopover between North Wales and Birmingham but we will be going back for longer. I can see how this place is attractive as a wedding venue but it's equally as attractive as a peaceful retreat at any time. Marvellous - and I can't praise the staff enough.

Outstanding in every way.
Simply the best hotel I have stayed in in over 10 years. The castle itself was stunning to behold and the grounds were breath-taking and incredibly well kept. Parking was spacious and easy to locate. Apon entering I was greeted by the wonderfully friendly and professional staff. So kind and welcoming nothing was too much trouble simply a credit to the hotel. The interior of the castle was so beautiful i will remember it for many years to come, Very historic an steeped in history it was a joy to behold, truly. My room (9) was well no other word suites, perfect. Spotlessly clean and easily the most comfortable bed I have ever slept in. Period correct antique furnishings really set the mood for this remarkable experience. Bathroom was fabulous also clean and well appointed no complaints. The grounds are amazing and well worth a look around very peaceful and a feast for the eyes. My sleep was again perfect and incredibly silent no disruptions all night so very pappy indeed. I was greeted by the lovely lady during Breakfast in the morning, she was so friendly and a credit to the hotel again nothing was too much bother 10/10. The breakfast itself was so delicious and very well presented and quality of ingredients was top drawer which I appreciate. Highly recommended.

20th wedding anniversary
We stayed for 2 nights for our wedding anniversary, we had married at Rowton Castle 20 years ago. It was pleasing to see that not a lot had changed, it was still as we remember it with only a few additions. Staff were all very attentive and keen to ask how things were when we married 20 years ago. Food was excellent and reasonably priced, together with the drinks. Rowton remains a lovely comfortable "grade 2 listed" property with alot of period features, including uneven floors in the bedrooms. We would highly recommend a stay and we will certainly look to visit again.

Beautiful in the outside but….
The hotel itself all the staff and its grounds are wonderful, with a small exception to a couple of dead flies in the overhead shower light which is y a great view whilst showering!! The food (dinner and breakfast) didn’t meet expectations and were disappointing, small fine food but not fine dining taste, breakfast buffet was limited no pastries and cooked food was bland and very standard. Shame as the settings are so lovely.

An impressive building but bed was too firm, in-room facilities just adequate and food average. The front of the building suggests a truly special stay but in reality the hotel is nothing special and certainly does not stand out from the crowd at this price. That said, the staff were very helpful and friendly. More a wedding venue than a special hotel. 3 star at most.
