We decided to visit Fishmore Hall for the first time in four years. We were a little worried about staying in a hotel during the pandemic but we need not have worried as there were excellent procedures in place to keep us safe. We booked the gourmet 2 night break. Our room was really nice it was spotlessly clean with a wonderful bathroom and a massive shower it was very hot and we were pleased to see the hotel provided a fan to keep us cool. The seven course taster menu was delicious as was the selection of wine we were served with each course. We had afternoon tea the following day which was really nice the only problem was we were not hungry by the evening but we still managed to eat most of the a la carte meal we were served that night. The staff are all friendly and professional especially the lady on reception who is always smiling and happy to help. Our stay at Fishmore Hall was a real treat and we will definitely return.

Fishmore hall hotel is classy, sophisticated and very clean. I treated the other half to a stay at the hotel, we live in London so thought it would make a nice change of scenery! The hotel is well presented, friendly and accommodating. Situated in beautiful surroundings and local to many pubs/restaurants and historical places to visit.
The members of staff were seen cleaning regularly and had many hand sanitizing stations around the hotel.
We decided not to eat in the hotel restaurant as it seemed quite expensive, two alcoholic drinks at the bar totalled £14.
Unfortunately the spa had reduced the facilities due to the pandemic, so we were only able to use the outdoor hot tub while the sauna and steam room were closed- surprisingly no discount was added despite this..bit of a led down.
Overall I would definitely recommend this hotel to business travellers and couples.

A lot to digest? Read an AI-generated summary of recent traveller reviews.
Looking for a short break around Ludlow we came across a Gourmet Break Offer. Two nights, Executive room, Tasting menu with wine flight first night, afternoon tea and a la carte second night, breakfasts both days.
On arrival location was great with views across farmland to distant hills. Easy parking (but no charging point for electric cars). Room was on second floor with lift access. Room was large, clean and comfortable with large comfortable bed. Bathroom had both shower and luxurious bath.
Now onto the food. We dined in the conservatory. Tables were well spaced and service was both efficient and pleasant.
The seven course tasting menu was accompanied by four different wines which matched the food well. Portions were large by tasting menu standards and food was well presented and flavourful.
Afternoon tea was a meal in itself with savouries, sandwiches, scones and cakes.
A la carte was slightly disappointing in that the majority of the dishes were the same as on the tasting menu but included an amuse bouche as well as a pre desert. Again the food was both delicious and well presented.
Breakfasts had the choice of traditional English, Smoked fish, Eggs Benedict or Continental and were first class.
All in all a very enjoyable break and good value at less than £500 for two. If having the afternoon tea I would suggest skipping lunch, taking tea as early as possible and dinner as late as possible to allow time for digestion.

Booking confirmation said 3pm check in and tried to check in at 3:15, but the room was not ready - not the end of the world, so we returned approximately 5pm and checked in. Unloaded our bags and found the hand soap dispenser containing the advertised “luxury soap”, was empty. Called reception for soap and then had to chase. The trouble with niggles is that they cause you to look more closely - the room was generally tired, stains on the carpet and the walls, bathroom grout grotty. In the shower, soon realised that i was wading in water and was up against the clock to avoid water pouring over the edge of the tray. Not wishing to ruin the evening we decided to get on with it and report the shower in the morning. Next morning hunted for “luxury robes and slippers”, to no avail. Breakfast food was good but service was very slow with only 2 staff waiting 12 tables. Eventually finished breakfast and reported shower plumbing and the missing robes/slippers. Returned to our room where my wife straightened the bed cover only to reveal a previous occupant had failed to take all their belongings home with them - a pair of knickers! This was obviously the final straw. The immediate response was not an apology, it was a grumpy “would you like an early check out?”. We did get an apology eventually, we did check out early and the 1 night stay was discounted, but our 3 night break reduced to 1 had been ruined. If you are going to charge £245 pn for B&B you have to be better than this.

We spent two nights here for our wedding anniversary. We had the gourmet break in an executive room.
The room was comfortable with a roomy bathroom with a separate bath and shower.
The food was great. We ate from the a la carte menu on the first evening and had the tasting menu on the second evening. We also had the afternoon tea. I am vegetarian but my husband isn’t and they catered for us both with ease. We also had the wine flight with our meal and the young lady explained all of the wines to us really well and we enjoyed them all. Breakfast was also very good and again we were very well looked after.
I can honestly say that every single member of staff that we met was helpful and friendly. From the moment we arrived to a warm welcome from the lovely receptionist until the moment we left we were very well looked after.
They had all COVID restrictions in place and we felt very safe.

Stayed with my Mum for her 80th Birthday present. Had a fantastic deal so splurged on an a la carte 3 course dinner, and spa treatments too.
Spa: Small but lovely. Outdoor hot tub, which was lovely but not for anyone small with mobility issues, so sadly Mum couldnt utilise that feature. Friendly and welcoming staff. Beth, who did my Couture Touch treatment, lived up to previous reviews. Looking forward to another visit in February.
Forelles restaurant: Just wow! Exceptional food, and wonderful staff, especially Cynthia and the Italian waiter. Even though we were on the 3 course a la carte, we had all sorts of amazing extra's. The pre-dessert 'Waldorf Salad' was the star of the show for us (not a salad at all), transitioning you from savoury to sweet and an excellent palate cleanser. Everything was explained and the team are clearly passionate about what they do. Just super gutted that I did not take advantage of the Black Friday 3 course dinner deal, when I booked another stay in February :-(
Room: Room 22 spacious and clean, with a huge (possibly super king) bed? Nice touches like fresh milk in the fridge, complimentary freshly baked biscuits and an Elemis little gift set. My only minor gripe is that my preference is feather pillows. Aside from that, everything was great.
All in all, a very memorable stay, truly 5 star service! Great staff on reception, in the spa and the restaurant. But the star of the show is most definitely the food in Forelles, exquisite!

Having looked forward to this night away since my husband booked it for my Christmas present a rare treat away from the three children to say I was looking forward to it was an understatement. Having visited Fishmore a few times for the day spa, I knew we were in for a treat to stay overnight. I phoned the week before to book treatment into the spa as we had three hours, to be told both days were fully booked! Disappointed but at least we could still use the three hours spa, ok not on the Saturday as we’d hoped as this was fully booked. So Sunday morning it was. We arrived at the hotel slightly later than originally planned at 4:30pm because we couldnt use the spa. We were shown to our room number 10, lovely touch of rose petals on the bed, huge great bed (later found out it was two singles pushed together) the lovely shower room all clean and as we thought great. Got changed and went for a meal in Ludlow, got back to the room around 8, one of the main reasons for having a night away is that our children aren’t very good sleepers and looking forward to a great night sleep was very much something we were both looking forward too. Fell asleep at 10 and then was awoken by hammering, banging, and sawing which started at 11:45pm on a Saturday night that finished at 12:40am why, someone had locked themselves out of their room....the hotel don’t have spare keys to the room, so the lock Smith was called, why they weren’t offered another room until morning is beyond words or offered another suitable location til morning. We honestly spoke to one another about going home at 12:30am over an hours drive away but we both felt this noise would never subside. Eventually after an hour they opened the door, eventually we both fell back asleep. We woke up more exhausted than normal, and decided that we couldn’t use the spa facilities we just wanted to get home. So so so disappointed. We went down to breakfast didn’t mention anything to the receptionist at the time because we both felt there would be more to mention. But we. Were pleasantly supposed that breakfast was lovely and the waitresses were very polite and accommodating. We went to check out and the receptionist wanted to charge us for the rose petals....,! we did say we weren’t impressed and thought we should have a gesture of goodwill, to be told that she had no authority to do this and it would have to be the owner who would phone us on Monday, surely something like this doesn’t need the owner to be involved and a manager should be able to deal with this situation. She did dismiss the £3 charge for the petals...we wait to see what happens on Monday. We never did use the spa. Also due to the tiredness we forgot to mention that the hairdryer only blows out cold hair and didn’t dry my short hair, and also noticed it wasn’t PAT tested. Still feel terribly short changed for what should have been a relaxing night away.

I stayed one night and as it was a special occasion I decided to book their best room which was £360 for DBBB for two.
Not very welcoming, no porter to take the bags to the room.
The room was described as luxury. It was open plan with the bath in the room, robes and slippers were provided, but other than that it was just average, I was expecting a notch up considering the price.
Dinner was 3 courses from a small menu, but not much choice for vegetarians. Restaurant staff were polite but not friendly in my opinion and could have explained the dishes on the menu.
The hotel was about 1 mile drive from the A49 but we could still hear the traffic from our room and did not sleep well as a consequence.
On a positive note there was a maid turndown service in the evening, where toiletries were replenished.
We skipped breakfast in the morning and I wouldn't rush back to stay again.
The previous weekend we stayed at Foyles in Glasbury, which is a mid priced boutique hotel but it was far more luxurious in every sense than Fishmore Hall.

The good The food is wonderful and the service from the two young waiters who really tried hard to make it a delightful experience, is to be commended
The bad Don’t repeat don’t accept room 2 . It’s over the kitchens and the noise all night was unbearable. The vibrations shook the water glass on the bedside table. The heat was also unbeatable because we couldn’t open the window because of the noise.
The ugly We went to our room at 3.30 and walked through a landing filled with piles of dirty laundry and carts with cleaning materials. We had been bought this treat from my sister, not a voucher as the manager kept referring it, and we wanted to rest before dinner. Rest! No chance. The laundry workers and cleaners were talking and filling and emptying until we gave in. We went back downstairs for dinner. Still piles of laundry . We went to bed after dinner, yes you guessed, still laundry . Really in Covid? Dirty laundry hanging about. Down for breakfast very early as we had little sleep and NO laundry. After breakfast on the way up, yes the laundry piles were there again.
And the management response, no problems in room 2, no one has ever complained and what anyway were they to do with the laundry? Certainly not piles of it where we had to walk. And as we had enjoyed our meal she gave us 20% off the room, not the dinner as that had been ok. Not the experience as a whole and the lack of sleep. So £18 off . I would have thought an offer of a night in a room that one could actually sleep in would have been the least . Still what’s customer service these days. So as another review states. Eat there but don’t sleep

We were excited to be given vouchers for Afternoon tea as a Christmas present. Due to shielding and Covid we were unable to use them until August. This was our first outing since Covid so we were keen to go out.
However, we did not have the best experience. We were shown to our table in the conservatory which was lovely and with her Perspex screens in place felt very safe. We were asked what drinks we would like and as we both wanted Breakfast tea one pot was provided. The actual afternoon tea was interesting and tasty. However, we were not asked again if we wanted refills of the hot drink. Other guests were asked if they wanted more but not us. I can only assume this was because we had prepaid and therefore no income would be received from our visit.
The restaurant manager checked on other tables but didn’t approach us at all. I found this quite rude and based on this experience would not recommend or would I purchase a voucher as a gift if this is the service you received.

Responded 21 Oct 2020
Thank you for the feedback as it is a very important part of our business, as you can see from previous comments service is something we strive on so to see this is disappointing. We do not treat any of our guests differently as a voucher is still as important to us as any other way of dining. Please come back again and contact me directly to make any bookings by calling 01584 877907 or emailing simon@fishmorehall.co.uk. Simon
