The Haughmond in Shropshire

Visited on a Thursday for the fish night , lovely table in the conservatory. Private and quite to celebrate the Brothers birthday ...food superb , delicious from start to finish ! We have had lovely food here in the past and it always lives up to a consistent DELICIOUS.. the freshest fish teamed up with the local fish monger ...the skill that goes into this type of food needs recognition... well done everyone at the Haughmond team .. 👏👏👏👏

Excellent hotel with friendly staff, great facilities, and super food. The room was big and comfortable. Easy access to Shrewsbury and the gorgeous countryside.

What a find! The Haughmond was amazing. From the warm and friendly staff, outstandingly delicious food and beautifully decorated rooms. The little extra touches made it even more special. The menu although not extensive was enough to cover all our tastes. Breakfast was delicious with the starter being a real treat. The staff were incredibly accommodating and kind. Would definitely recommend and will be returning!

Had lunch time menu which was good. Lovely venue friendly staff. Great location.

Great atmosphere, very friendly staff on Bar and Mel was so welcoming. Food was amazing the steak with the peppercorn sauce and tomato with haggis was so tasty and cooked to perfection. The gooseberry Bakewell Tart with Earl grey ice cream hit the spot to finish off a beautiful meal, we then relaxed on the sofas and had a few drinks relaxing chatting. Highly recommend a visit. Prices were very reasonable for the high quality of food and drinks received.

Delicious dinner at the Haughmond, took our friends for anniversary celebration and we all enjoyed our meals. Relaxing atmosphere and the courses were served with a smile. Would be good to have a choice of some Italian Red wine. When visited last year there was a wine recommended for each course which my partner liked. Thank you.

Stopped for lunch, liked the menu I had the fish cakes with salad which was filling. Mum had Welsh rarebit with ham duck egg on toasted sourdough. Both delicious and nicely presented. Would go again

We had an incredible breakfast at the Haugmond recently. The attention to detail was unmatched—the presentation of the breakfast plate was stunning, and it all tasted amazing. I met my family there, who had stayed at the hotel, and they were equally impressed. They were extremely complementary about their experience, particularly the deep, restful sleep they enjoyed in the comfortable and spotless room. Our entire group had nothing but praise for the Haugmond!

Excellent service with attention to detail. Very dog friendly. Great rooms and delicious breakfast.

We always enjoy an evening dining at The Haughmond & been too long since our last visit. The menu has plenty of choice & everything was appealing so we ordered 4 x different starters for our family to share. We opted for lamb, fish & chicken main courses - all perfectly presented with excellent flavours. Enjoyed by all, together with some interesting red wine recommended to us. Update - September 24 and another wonderful dining experience here..

Great visit after their recent rennovation, we headed out as a family for Breakfast and it was superb! Fautless! The staff were very friendly and engaging which helped provide a great atmosphere. A must try is The Haughmond Full English, you can tell that the produce as been carefully selected and locally sourced! Can't wait to visit again.

Beautiful and tasty food. The best rump steak I've had in a long time, usually never choose this cut. Lovely cosy atmosphere, will definitely be back soon!

Great hotel with fantastic food and lovely staff. Breakfast was exceptional. Really enjoyed our stay. Hotel has a real community feel to it with its village cafe attached. Very pleasant beer garden too. Dog friendly.

Exquisite meal, the best food me and my husband have ever eaten!! We both had 3 courses, starters and main were faultless, packed with flavor and so fresh. The pudding, we both had the same, chocolate crémeux was another level! Absolutely stunning the textures and tastes just ticked every box, amazing!! We cannot praise this restaurant enough! The staff are polite, engaging, knowledgable and efficient. The food is outstanding in presentation and taste. We cannot wait to come back, and thank you all for making our wedding anniversary meal truly memorable!!

Following a revamp and reopen we tried lunch heretodaytocelebrate my husbands birthday itwas superb, relaxed atmosphere, friendly service and fabulous food we are spoilt for choice.Highly recommended we will certainly return

Always wanted to visit,used our wedding anniversary,plus a gift voucher to full fill that experience.every thing went as well as expected.My only complaint would be.trivial i know,a light above the sink in boris's room for shaving.

Great room, not overpriced. Good breakfast. Nice village and pathway alongside to walk the dog

Great food, really well thought out menu.

We absolutely loved this place,we stayed with our little dog,and from the onset it was an amazing experience! The staff are amazing! We booked in for an evening meal and wow it didn't disappoint! They could easily charge more for this exceptional quality of food! We got chatting to the lady who was serving us about horses,and the cauliflower chese! ( we loved it!) Brilliant service and highly recommended! We will be back! Thank you

Lovely to enjoy a drink and listen to some live music 🎶

We popped in for lunch . Always looking to try something new. I am a celiac so asked for gluten free options. Starters trout or pea soup, we missed the starters and went for mains. I had the trout which arrived with the underside up. It came with asparagus and a small potato salad. The trout was cooked on the outside and the middle was red. Not my favourite way to eat but understand this is a preference, however the one half was cold inside. Not the meal we expected. I chose a french rose which was £12 for 175 ml. My husband's chicken was dry, and he had rum Baba as desert. It was very dry more like a cupcake, with tinned cherries. Sorry I convinced him to give it a try. I must say people who were staying there said the breakfast was good.

Excellent menu and extremely tasty

Beautiful room and surroundings

Had a wonderful weekend here. The rooms are very comfortable and decorated with a theme. The food is fantastic and the staff are friendly, welcoming with an excellent sense of humour. We will definitely be back and highly recommend

Fantastic food I can’t recommend this place enough! X

A beautiful place, close to attractions. The food is amazing. Staff are amazing and friendly. Just wow

This was the first time we have visited The Haughmond and can thoroughly recommend the food, service and atmosphere. The chalk stream trout starter was delicious due to being wild caught not farmed! Followed by the longhorn beef burger served pink bursting with flavour helped by the harissa coleslaw. My wife chose the butternut risotto as she is a vegetarian which was again delicious, the bar also keeps Doombar real ale which is a favourite of mine and made the evening perfect. Well done to all. Ashley Lewis

Went to the bakery/cafe next door (not pub/hotel) and it's fantastic, good food and prices.

We returned to dine at the Haumond Inn after seeing their post on social media. The menu caters for meat eaters and vegetarians. We skipped starters and ordered rib eye steak and trout. Both meals were prepared beautifully, tasted divine. We followed the main course with a rice pudding and a treacle tart. Both were beautifully presented and tasted amazing. We would definitely recommend this restaurant and would return again to sample more dishes. The only additional comment I would like to add is to note that the toilets are not sign posted in a standard way. Don't get confused, ask the staff before you get embarrassed walking into the wrong loo.

My other half and I stayed here overnight as we were attending a function close by. I grew up and went to junior school in Upton Magna, and are frequent visitors to the village. However, I have never been in or stayed at The Haughmond until last night. It is a really lovely place, the attention to detail is absolutely spot on. The standard of our room and the cleanliness was to a very high standard. All of the staff were exceptional, especially the guy who booked us in, and the ladies who served breakfast were just amazing. The breakfast, what can I say, this was beautiful (see photos). We didn't stay for evening meal, as we had already eaten, however next time we stay we will have the evening meal. The following morning, we did an 11km circular taking in Haughmond Hill and the surrounding area and returned to The Haughmond cafe for a well-earned coffee before our long drive home.

We have dined regularly at the Haughmond, we love the menu and the atmosphere. This weekend as a treat for my birthday my husband booked us the Boris room. We had dinner bed and breakfast. Dinner was the usual high standard, but breakfast was absolutely amazing. The room was spotlessly clean and so comfortable. We and the dog had the best nights sleep in a long time and woke up to bird song. A lovely stroll around the village before breakfast set us up for the day. I look forward to doing it again.

Excellent food and service, beautiful.

Very elevated food scene in the dining room. I was impressed with the range and quality. I heard the breakfast is fantastic too.

Quality food, highly recommended.

Boxing Day late lunch. Fabulous service - delicious food. Brilliant, thank you

Called into the haughmond cafe which I assume is part of the hotel. Smashing, friendly service and lovely cakes and lunch available. Dogs and muddy boots are most welcome as it seems a favourite of cyclists and dog walkers. Will definitely call in again.

Really comfortable and clean accommodation with excellent Breakfast and superb dinner in the evenings. Warm and welcoming and lovely team looking after you.

Delicious starters and mains. Great to have recommendations of wine for each course. Relaxing atmosphere and the courses were served nice and steadily. Thank you.

Lovely place, great facilities and exceptional food. Evening meal, started with Jerusalem Artichokes, in sesame and soy the flavour was lovely. Main, we both had Turbot with squash and a side of glazed carrots, delicious and perfectly cooked. Deserts equally as nice, Chocolate tort and bakewell. Breakfast was amazing, all given a starter of yoghurt cheese and muffin. Ww had the smoked haddock omelette again absolutely delicious. Service throughout was friendly and attentive. Our room was quiet and warm, very comfortable bed, small bathroom. We will definitely be back

Fantastic lunch at a great pub. The new lunch menu is really accessible and it was actually really hard to choose what we wanted to eat as each dish read well. Attentive staff helped us with our choices, starters - Pigeon & Soup, Mains - Pie & Squash. Each dish was thoroughly well executed and the flavours were perfect and timely for Autumn. Very well priced given the beautiful countryside views and quiet village location. Again the service was outstanding, everyone makes you feel very welcome, and you feel important to the FOH team rather than just a number. We can't wait to return and bring friends or family for the Christmas menu!

Lovely experience! Staff were very attentive and the food was really nice and a little different. We had a three course lunch which I felt was excellent value for money!

Lunch with friends. Lovely decor and excellent table arrangements. Staff friendly and welcoming. 2 or 3 course choice of menus. The selection was excellent and the pigeon and black pudding starter superb. The guinea fowl , cod and pie main courses are excellent. This place is definitely worth visiting soon.

What a lovely stay I had here. It's peaceful and quiet. You have deer walking in the field right next to you. There's little squirrels running around on the grass and I even saw a hare do a dash across the lawn. The little cottage was warm and cozy with all the appliances you could wish for. The washer and dryer was a life saver.

Couldn’t recommend the food, ambiance and service highly enough. There for Mum’s 80th. Team couldn’t have been more helpful (esp when I forgot about the cake), attentive yet discrete. Beautiful relaxed atmosphere and superb menu. Will definitely return.

We stayed here for one night as we had to be in the area. Our room was the Sika Room and it was the only double/king room left on the night of our stay. It was perfect for us, very comfortable and plenty of room - b ut mind your head on the low beam!. All of the rooms are beautifully decorated too, so look at the images on their website. There are wonderful chefs here who obviously take great pride in what they do and it was evident in the food we ate. We had a fantastic dinner of a salmon tartare with avocado mouse for myself and a pigeon breast for my husband. This was followed by a ribeye steak with peppercorn sauce and a ballotine of guinea fowl for husband. A bottle of Armenian wine was enjoyed by both of us!! In the morning there was a complimentary breakfast included which was delicious, and we added Eggs Benedict for myself and Haughmond breakfast for husband. We found everything to be absolutely outstanding at this old coaching inn and would recommend it to anyone wanting excellent food and accommodation when staying in this part of the country. Last but not least, all of the staff were very helpful, interested in what they were doing and happy to be working there. Long may the Haughmond thrive.

We booked one of the dog friendly rooms which are outside the main building, it was starting to look a bit tired. When I booked online there was no obvious sign that there would be an extra charge for the dogs so I was surprised to be charged an additional £40 for the night

This was a fabulous find. Stayed in The Basil room. Super clean and comfortable with a great shower and toiletries. We ate in the restaurant. Lovely decor and ambiance. Had the sharing menu. Everything was delicious with lovely attentive staff. Breakfast the next morning was amazing. Loved the yogurt with homemade granola, homemade mini crumpet and cheese and ham. Would definitely recommend.

Lovely country pub with amazing food and comfortable bedrooms

Lovely comfortable stay, they were very accommodating of our late check in and early start on a Sunday morning. Would recommend and go back again

I recently dined at this delightful 4-star restaurant and was thoroughly impressed. The ambiance was charming, and the service impeccable. The dishes were not only visually appealing but also bursting with exquisite flavors. Each course showcased the chef's skill and creativity. I particularly enjoyed the attentive staff who made our dining experience truly memorable. While it wasn't a 5-star experience, it was certainly a memorable evening filled with culinary delights.

We had a really special night in a spacious restaurant with a wonderful atmosphere. The food was what we were hoping for - excellent - and the recommended wines were also very welcome and well chosen. All in all we had a great evening out. Highly recommended.

Everything here shouts five stars. The people which work here are fantastic, and they give off a vibe which most five star hotels can't even give you. They don't treat you as a customer, but as a friend. Nothing is too much for these people to give, and they make you feel like you fit into their local community. Breakfast is fantastic.. and I will be honest, I'm funny when it comes to beer, but their own brand is really nice. If you ever do consider a hotel, then this should be number one on your list.

2nd time at The Haughton and it was excellent as before. Evening meal was superb and service outstanding. Thank you for a lovely stay!

Visited this pub early evening for an anniversary meal. Pub was very quiet at 6pm so lacked a little atmosphere but the food was lovely. The staff were young and attentive and it felt like they were a real team. The menu is really interesting, and much better than the usual pub, although the price of the meal does reflect this. If you love good food this place is definitely worth a visit.

The food was delicious, the staff attentive and efficient, the atmosphere friendly. A perfect place for a mid week supper with friends. I would recommend it without hesitation.

Our party of 6 dined in the restaurant on both nights of our stay and loved everything. The Haughmond's reputation for top quality delicious food is thoroughly deserved. Compliments to the chef(s)! A special mention for Sam, front of house, for his friendly, relaxed, professional service and Annette, who served the lovely breakfasts with a smile.

My wife and I had a superb meal at this delightful restaurant. The food was beautifully presented and was designed to bring out the best flavours. The staff were charming and helpful and explained each dish. The chef used top quality ingredients, and everybody was very accommodating to our special dietary requirements. Altogether, outstanding in every respect.

Dinner, bed and breakfast were all superb - we felt like we won the lottery having simply searched for a pet-friendly place to break our journey. This turned out to be the best meal we’ve had for ages; the breakfast was equally good and we had 2 lovely walks in fields and woods nearby. Young, competent staff impressed us no end too.

Nestled in the charming village of Upton Magna is The Haughmond Inn plus bakery plus coffee shop. What a treasure this place is; friendly, welcoming owner and staff, clean well kept rooms, good food including the fabulous bakery bread, cakes and pies. Breakfast was an absolute highlight, served in the restaurant. Original and inspirational food. We stayed in one of the dog friendly rooms and it was great. We never once felt we were given an inferior room or table in the restaurant (unlike other places where we have stayed with our dog). Three cheers and thank you to the whole team!

The food was nice enough. However, portion sizes are not very generous. I did not feel particularly full after the three course meal I had. I would therefore recommend ordering side dishes in addition to the main course if you have a hearty appetite.

Absolutely fantastic a taste sensation, I don't like beetroot but wow with the duck every mouthful was fabulous, apple custard was sensational, the service was excellent0

Really good set up for the community and visitors

Great cafe and shop. Excellent food. Very friendly.

We came with a friend who has recently been extremely unwell and has a small appetite, I have had stomach surgery so can only eat very small portions. It was no problem for me and my friend to order a starter as a main served...

Great food, beautifully cooked & presented. Imaginative use of ingredients to provide contrasting flavours. Very strongly recommend.

Beautiful food in nice surroundings with friendly service. Good value lunch and real ales. Update: just been for a second time and happy to report that it's just as good as before .

One of the best pub meals we’ve ever had. The bar-restaurant is lovely and light with plenty of windows, and is very comfortably furnished. The service from the young crew was excellent - friendly and chatty but attentive as well. The food was Michelin -...

As a whole my wife and I found the whole experience very disappointing from start to finish. When we arrived we were early and decided to have a drink outside before our scheduled reservation time. Once we sat down a waitress soon followed us, plonked...

Fabulous food and service, this really is so far above all the local competitors. The bread is incredible, maybe the best I have ever eaten . 4th time we have been innthe last 2 months and has always excelled . Well Done

Sadly this is not a positive review. We have been many times and had a fantastic experience, food, service and atmosphere. Unfortunately tonight, which was a much looked forward to birthday celebration, we were disappointed. The food was average, nothing in comparison to that which...

Really lovely mid week meal to celebrate an anniversary. Delicious food and wine with knowledgable and really friendly staff. Sadly we felt a bit forgotten towards the end of the meal when the restaurant got a little busier. It would have been nice to have...

Lots of care taken here. Skilful, imaginative cooking at dinner and breakfast. Relaxed surroundings. Great views at the back.

Great place to stay, surprisingly good food.

Fantastic food, excellent service and a fine menu. We visited as a family group of 12,(6 adults, 6 children) and were not left disappointed. Varied, fish-heavy menu although excellent beef and duck as well. All left satisfied and happy. A stop well worth making

Stayed here for one night, the rooms were beautifully decorated, and very comfortable. We arrived about 8.45pm and was greeted very nicely by a young lad, but the other lad who was serving behind the bar, was quite unpleasant and very rood. However when we put our complaint over it was delt with straight away the next morning, by the very kind manager of this outstanding property. The breakfast was outstanding also and the morning staff were amazing. Definitely stay here again.

A pretty inn about a ten minute drive to Shrewsbury centre. Comfortable, clean room with a good ensuite shower room. The service - reception, bar and restaurant staff - was excellent and the food very special. Plenty of secure parking. We'd definitely visit again.

Excellent food, certainly not pub grub. They obviously make an effort in every sense. We both had starters and main - delicious. If we’d known about the bread pre-starters we have settled for that! Both mains were beautifully prepared and presented and cooked to a...

The perfect place for a midweek supper - the staff are helpful and friendly and the food delicious. Never disappointed with the menu, which has been different each time.

Good food, atmosphere and service. Can't rate the rooms as we didn't stay (it's so close to our home). Will be returning.

Went for dinner with friends on Friday 15 July and had an excellent meal. The food was very good indeed. The atmosphere in the restaurant was relaxed and the front of house staff were warm and welcoming. I had the beef main course, which was...

A lovely two night stay. The staff were very welcoming and the Sika room well appointed with a large comfortable bed. I would recommend the evening meals. The combination of flavours and the presentation excellent. Breakfast was also good. I would recommend this inn.

My sister and I stayed here for one night. Absolutely cannot fault the Haughmond. Our room was immaculate, staff were so lovely and hospitable. We arrived after the last check in time so they made alternative arrangements for us to collect our room key. The...

Six of us went to celebrate 70th Birthdays. The menu is quite interesting.I had a cauliflower starter which was quite tasty but small. We had one sort of bread served, and you needed a few slices of that with the portion sizes served. The fishcake...

The small portions served suggested fine dining, but the food was average, certainly not terrible but not commensurate with the high prices. Only one vegetarian option which was fatty and tasteless. We declined the waitress's offer of water but the waitress decided to bring it...

Beautiful hotel, lovely setting near Shrewsbury. Staff were fabulous and bedrooms beautifully decorated and very comfortable. Had the most amazing breakfast too. We definitely will be back

Fantastic lunch - really nice and refreshing flavours and presentation - very good service and nice quiet atmosphere

Went to the cafe for lunch with friends we sat in the garden in little wooden booths looking out towards the wrekin the wisteria around the garden was out in full bloom, lovely will definitely be going again.

While on a bike ride, stopped at the cafe, nice coffee, friendly staff. I've been here many times.

Wir übernachten hier immer auf dem Weg zur Irlandfähre. Man ist hundefreundlich. Die Küche hat Sternenivau und das Frühstück ist ganz ausgezeichnet. Leider wurde für den Anreisetag unsere Reservierung zum Essen vergessen obwohl es einen regen E Mail Verkehr dazu gab. Das Zimmer für Hundehalter liegt separat mit direktem Ausgang. Der Service insgesamt hätte etwas freundlicher sein können.

Excellent experience on a busy Saturday lunchtime. Dog was welcomed too.

What a real treat. Following a brief visit to the Haughmond last month, we booked a table at the restaurant and enjoyed a wonderful evening of outstanding cuisine, fine wine and warm hospitality. On arrival, the glorious scent of wisteria greeted us before we'd even...

A simply superb evening. The Haughmond was fully booked and yet everything was calm with a lovely atmosphere and with tables well spaced , privacy was assured. Service was friendly , attentive and efficient. The food was creative and delicious and whilst on first sight...
