The historic Madeley Court Hotel in Shropshire will unveil a stylish new look in October following its acquisition by Focus Hotel Management earlier this year. The country house has had one million pounds invested in it in order to provide good value accommodation in 21st century style, adding modern comfort to the picturesque surroundings whilst retaining the individuality and character of the building.

All of the 47 spacious en-suite bedrooms have been redecorated and will feature plasma televisions, Swedish rain showers and free Wi-Fi throughout the hotel. The conference and wedding facilities have been upgraded, including The Mill, a grade one listed building which provides an idyllic setting for a wedding reception or business meeting and has been faithfully restored and refurbished with a reception and banqueting suite, period fabrics and antique furnishings. The Priory restaurant has also been redeveloped to offer new items on the menu, providing a memorable dining experience in a room steeped in history complete with open log fires and high ceilings.

Located within easy access of the M54, Telford and many tourist attractions including The Ironbridge Gorge and RAF Museum, The Madeley Court Hotel is a 16th Century manor house, offering both the facilities of a modern hotel and the ambience of an imposing country estate, set in the beautiful Shropshire countryside.
