Wolfscastle Country Hotel

We visited here for our Golden Wedding Anniversary and honestly I cannot understand how they do not have a Michellin star - or two! We had the fine dining experience from chef Seb and it was magnificent. We always go somewhere good for our anniversary but this beat the last few places we have been out of a cocked hat - that includes The Whitebrook, The Hardwick and The Walnut Tree - all of which are good but nowhere near this standard. (though to be fair the Whitebrook used to be) We were treated like royalty - the service was outstanding. We started with canapes of beetroot arancini and duck parfait profiteroles, both wonderful. Then there was some artisan bread with flavoured butter followed by an amuse bouche (photo below). The starters were both amazing - I had scallops with some sort of chicken ball - with extra touches like cauli puree and micro herbs - my husband had pigeon done three ways and it was sublime. For the main I had surf n turf - a lobster tail with filet of beef with mini cauli and brocolli - to be honest I cannot remember all the details clearly as I think my mind was blown by this point. My husband had halibut with pigs cheek and fondant celeriac (photo below). The pre desert was wonderfully tasty and I dont have a sweet tooth - lemon posset with a rhubard icecream and some sort of white chocolate rocks. Then my huband had the trio of chocolat which he loved while I had the most incredible cheese board. As if that wasn't enough the meal ended with petit fours on a board wishing us Happy Anniversary. This was bar far the best meal since we had the 9 course taster menu in Hibiscus when it was still in Ludlow nearly 20 years ago. All this paired with really good wine and wonderful service from our dedicated waitress, Seren. The room and breakfast were pretty good too! I cannot wait to go back again and hopefully by then someone will have nominated them for a MIchellin star!

Jamie & I booked our wedding with Wolfscastle Country Hotel and from the very first visit we knew it was going to be “our” place. The whole experience was wonderful, from our first meetings with Lowri, the Wedding Coordinator (and the most loveliest lady) to the help we received from the Chefs to personalise our wedding day just the way we wanted it! The staff were so helpful and friendly and we always felt like everything was under control at all times. So much stress was alleviated for us, just incredible! All of our guests were blown away by the food on our wedding day and it feels just like a dream that we will cherish forever. The Wolfscastle Family feel like our family now and we cannot wait to enjoy more celebrations there in the future

Came for the steak night and it beat all expectations. The steak was cooked to perfection. One of the best steaks I’ve had out in any restaurant in a long time. The waitresses couldn’t do anymore for us at the table, checked in to make sure we had everything we needed. Incredibly attentive. The Eton Tidy pudding was incredible the lemon macarons made the dish!

A wonderful relaxing, comfortable hotel that welcomes dogs as if they were celebrities. Teddy was treated to a toy, treats and his very own sausage for breakfast. While there treat yourselves to a spa treatment. The massage was out of this world Love the place. Staff are so obliging and friendly

Came with a friend for a spa 'package, including a rose body wrap and facial Beautiful and clean with lovely staff, however for a hotel of this price, the spa facilities are very basic, just a hot tub and small sauna outside. The treatment i had was outstanding mind. Imogen is a credit to this hotel. This lady made me feel amazing, adhered so much to mantaining my dignity too which was so professional. Nothing short of an angel - thankyou Had a small bite to eat which was also lovely. All in all a lovely place to escape too x

Just had a really wonderful meal here, the restaurant rather than the brasserie so the 5 course menu (incidentally I have done the brasserie menu a couple of times also very good) - our meal was EXCEPTIONAL. every detail was perfect, All the combinations delicious, I am very impressed with the chef and his team. Thoroughly enjoyed it all. I also thought the 2 waitresses that looked after us were a real credit. Knowledgeable about the food, personable and generally lovely, this is a big part of the whole experience so thank you to them. Thanks so much for a lovely dinner and a lovely evening.
