Goldstone Hall Hotel and Gardens

The multi award winning, Goldstone Hall, is an independent, family run 12 bedroom country manor house hotel, restaurant and garden located in the picturesque rolling timbered pastures of North Shropshire. The hotel provides a warm, friendly and welcoming atmosphere for all guests, whether visiting to stay, dine, celebrate, or unwind. Its charm reflects the surrounding countryside and the family s personal touch. In winter 2024, the bedrooms were thoughtfully upgraded, blending

character and individuality with contemporary flair, in association with designer s styling of Andrew Martin and Nina Campbell.

Goldstone Gardens

The Goldstone gardens are mature and intriguingly designed, including formal and informal planting, encapsulating the essence of a quintessential English garden. Overlooking the tree-strewn rolling countryside, the site includes a walled garden, rose terrace, double tiered herbaceous borders, cutting garden, wooded walk, wild flower garden, fragrant arches, unique herbal walkways and productive one acre kitchen garden.

The garden has been designed for relaxation, celebration and enjoyment and is the perfect setting for admiring the well thought out landscaping and planting. The gardens at Goldstone Hall Hotel were initiated by John Cushing s mother, Helen Ward, who channelled her passion for gardening into transforming the wilderness that was.

There is also the Goldstone Meadows, an area of undisturbed pasture land, including a brook, close by to the hotel. Guests are welcome to walk there and enjoy the peace and quiet of the Shropshire countryside. Foraging in hedgerows and meadows has yielded Ladies Smock, also known as Cardamine pratensis, so far.

Goldstone is an RHS partner garden, a member of the BBC Gardeners World 2for1 Scheme, and a member of the Garden Organic Heritage Seed Library Scheme. The garden also opens for the National Garden Scheme annually.
