Albrighton Hall Hotel & Spa, a member of Radisson Individuals

Sticking to your fitness goals while you’re on a decadent spa break can be a tough sell. But the Technogym at Albrighton Hall Hotel & Spa will make you want to take a break from all the splurging, pampering and treating yourself. No, really! 

It’s kitted out with all the state-of-the-art equipment you need for a top to toe workout. But if you fancy a bit of vitamin D, the hotel has plenty of ways to sweat in the sunshine. You could stroll around the ornamental lake and ramble across its 15 acres of gorgeous countryside to get your steps, for starters!

Shropshire’s a fantastic location for watersports. Shrewsbury is set within a loop of the River Severn and you can hire a canoe in Quarry Park to discover it in style - and burn some serious calories at the same time!

If all that pampering has worked up an appetite you’re in for a treat. There are a variety of eating experiences at Albrighton Hall Hotel & Spa and they’re all just as relaxing as the ESPA treatments at its spa.

Dine in historical elegance at the wood-panelled The Oak Room Restaurant. Featuring an á la carte menu inspired by local produce, you’ll also find a hearty breakfast selection, served in this character-filled setting. If you fancy an afternoon tea, your decadent spread will be served in the Drawing Room.

Time for a nightcap? Drink a hand-crafted cocktail in the relaxed ambience of the 1630 Bar. Named after the year the hall was built, it overlooks the gardens and also serves sandwiches and snacks. 

Yes it does, and many of the spa packages on offer include the indulgent treat. Served at the 1630 Bar or elegant Drawing Room, overlooking manicured grounds, afternoon teas feature dinky sandwiches, warm scones, cream and jam, and a delectable array of cakes. Choose from a selection of speciality teas, or go for something sparkly. 

Of course! Albrighton Hall Hotel & Spa has 87 luxurious bedrooms which make extending your spa day into a spa stay a real temptation. From Standard rooms in the modern wing to Suites crammed with period features, you can even choose lakeview bedrooms that overlook the ornamental lake. No matter which room category you choose, modern amenities like flat-screen TVs and complimentary Wi-Fi ensure a comfortable stay.

Yes it is, but there are no lifts in the main house due to the period nature of the property. A lift is available in the lakeside rooms area, and there’s accessible parking, two accessible ground-floor rooms and an accessible entrance found near the 1630 Bar. 

For spa packages, arrival times vary, so please check your booking confirmation. If you’re here on an overnight stay, check-in to the hotel is at 3pm. On your day of departure, check-out is at 12pm. 

The ideal location for those who love to combine a pampering break with a little sightseeing, Albrighton Hall is just three miles from the Medieval town of Shrewsbury in Shropshire. Here you’ll find independent restaurants and quirky shops, or soak up the history at Battlefield 1403. Shrewsbury Prison and Shrewsbury Castle.

Albrighton Hall was originally built in 1630 (hence the name of the bar!) for the Ireland family. In 1953 the Hall was converted into The Royal National College for the Blind - amongst its most famous residents was the Rt Hon David Blunkett MP. It became a hotel in the 1990s. The hotel is a Grade II-listed building on the National Heritage List for England and has many original features still intact.

It is. While treatments at the spa are for those aged 16 and over, children are welcome at the hotel, with family and interconnecting rooms and children’s menus crammed with family favourites.

There’s plenty of family-friendly activities nearby. Little explorers will love Hawkstone Park Follies. Just 11 miles from the hotel, this 250-year-old theme park is full of enchanting bridges, towers and caves.

Good news for dog-lovers! Albrighton Hall is a pet-friendly hotel - they also allow cats! A maximum of two pets can stay in eight animal-friendly rooms for £20 per pet. They’ll be given a warm welcome with their own bedding, food, and water bowls. You can even buy dog meals and snack packages from reception.

No, but if you like to pamper and putt, you’re in the right place. Shropshire has some fabulous golf courses to explore, with Hawkstone Park being one of its finest. Just under 10 miles from the hotel, there are 42 parkland holes to play, thanks to the 18-hole Hawkstone and Championship courses plus a 6-hole par three layout.
