Fishmore Hall

Fishmore Hall is a Regency-style hotel, owned and run by Acorn Award winner Laura Penman. Laura purchased Fishmore Hall as a derelict property and in 22 weeks transformed it into a boutique 15 bedroom hotel.

Located in the foodie destination of Ludlow, the hotel is easily accessible from the A49 and set in the breathtaking Shropshire countryside. The contemporary hotel welcomes those looking for a relaxed foodie break in one of the most unspoilt counties in England. Joe Gould, head chef joined the hotel in October 2017.

Relaxation is the priority at Fishmore with modern decor and add-ons including pillow menus, Hypnos beds, Frette linen sheets, flat screen TVs and complimentary broadband. The bathrooms have been individually designed and feature large walk-in showers, giant waterfall showerheads, Molton Brown toiletries and perfect mood lighting. Exclusive use of Fishmore Hall is available on request.

SPAShell launched at Fishmore Hall in October 2016. The spa boasts four treatment rooms, which combine to create two couples rooms, two thermal cabins; a steam room and sauna, as well as an outdoor Cedar wellness pool and oversized hammock on the decking, both overlooking the fields and the Shropshire hills. There is ample relaxation space and the outdoor bucket and monsoon drench shower provides a refreshing and revitalising experience.
