The Best Hotels to Book Near Weston Park
Close to Wolverhampton and Telford, you’ll find one of the most exquisite country houses in the Midlands: Weston Park. The heritage-listed building dates back as far as 1670, although the 18th-century gardens are the main draw – the work of inimitable landscape architect Capability Brown. Read on for a list of noble and worthy places to stay on any visit to Weston Park – bookable now with Culture Trip.
Park House Hotel
Hotel
What better way to start a list of hotels near Weston Park than with the exquisite Park House Hotel? This impressive accommodation encompasses two historic mansions, and both retain many of their original features – you’ll see ornate coving, chandeliers and high ceilings. A large fountain sits on the lawn outside the ivy-covered main building, while the water features inside include a small indoor swimming pool and a jacuzzi.
Church Farm B&B
Bed and Breakfast, Hotel
Wisteria clambers up the side of Church Farm B&B, which is eight miles (13km) from Weston Park. This pretty, 17th-century building is now a family-run bed and breakfast with bright rooms and plenty of rustic features, such as half-timbered ceilings and historic family portraits.

Days Inn by Wyndham Telford Ironbridge M54
Hotel, Chain Hotel
For a reliable budget chain hotel, there’s the Days Inn outside Telford. The hotel is moments from the M54 and only 7 miles (11km) from Weston Park. You can expect the ensuite rooms to be minimalist yet well-appointed, with amenities including a work desk, bedside reading light and small seating area. Breakfasts are available for an additional fee for adults, and are free for children.
Haughton Hall
Hotel, Guesthouse
On the outskirts of Shifnal, the 18th-century mansion of Haughton Hall is an excellent luxury option. Such is the opulence here, you could be forgiven for thinking it was an extension of Weston Park itself – albeit one with an on-site fitness club, swimming pool and jacuzzi, as well as a more novel footgolf course. The latter facility is precisely what it sounds like: a combination of football and golf.
The Queens at Horton
Hotel, Pubs with Rooms
The Queens at Horton is a modest bed and breakfast with only five bedrooms and plenty of rustic charm. The rooms have a boutique feel, with a black-and-white design motif extending from the patterned wallpaper and lavish beds to the warmly lit sitting area. Much of the furniture has an ornate feel, and that continues through to the restaurant, with its wooden floors and exposed brick fireplaces.
The Lion Hotel
Bed and Breakfast, Inn
For a stay in a typically British pub, look no further than the Lion Hotel. This family-run abode sits in the heart of Broseley, a quaint Shropshire market town.

Breakfast is included, consisting of fresh fruit and a cooked English breakfast.
