Buckatree Hall Hotel, Telford

Stayed 13th April 2024

Lovely overnight stay. Was a bit dubious after reading some of the reviews but so glad we ignored them. All staff were very friendly and welcoming. Room was fine, clean, good tea and coffee tray, slight trouble flushing the loo (room 33) but that’s all. Food was absolutely lovely - we were on a DBB deal £59.50 - menu was varied (£5 supplement for steak) came out piping hot - chips were delicious! Breakfast you chose what you wanted from a menu in the morning so was hot and fresh ( no dried up bacon and hard eggs sitting under a buffet light !) my poached eggs were perfect…..all in all a fantastic stay at brilliant value for money.

Had a lovely time at The Buckatree Hotel. All staff were very friendly and helpful. Really nice breakfast. Would have like a mattress protector on the bed.

Hotel could do with a bit of a makeover looks dated although clean and comfortable an update wouldn’t go amiss, Lovely friendly helpful staff Chef even came out of the kitchen to ask if our meals were ok, Would I stay again? Yes I would

We have stayed at this hotel before, and then we thought it was very good, well when we spent a couple of nights there last week, it was just as good as before! The room was lovely and clean and comfortable. The food was really nice, and service was good.The staff were very helpful too! The hotel location was good, particularly being close to Iron bridge gorge, which is a fab place to visit! Highly recommended hotel.

Lovely quick and reasonably priced break with my long retired friend who was my accountant back in the day. Staff lovely(Amy gets a *), room nice and clean, single beds well, single, a queen size would be nice. My evening Fish, 6 chips and minted mushy was delish and well cooked. The breakfast bacon was great bacon but overcooked....a quick word and the second day, perfect! So all in all enjoyed the hotel and so glad when comments taken on board and addressed....constructive criticism worthwhile. All good, would return.

Stayed 11th September 2022

On arrival we noticed what it was a beautiful setting it was in. The lady on reception was lovely and friendly and very helpful. The room 105 was a really good sized room looking out into the woods. Bathroom was possibly a bit dated ,but everywhere was clean. We loved the bar area . Our evening meal was served here on the Sunday whicfortunately the chairs and table height wasn't ideal. Breakfast was really nice. Overall we loved the hotel and definitely would be back again.

Stayed 28th August 2022

First impressions were good clean and decorated to a high standard, however there were several issues that need to be identified. 1. We were told to expect best room available, we were probably allocated the worst. - unable to regulate shower, too hot to use -no remote available for TV - the remote offered did not work 2. Room was not serviced after first night -toilet roll not replaced - bed not made etc 3. Only solution offered was a change of room which was inconvenient. 4. Having booked an evening meal we were still told there would be a 25mins wait. At no point was there an apology and the complaints were treated in a light hearted jokey fashion by receptionist. Will not be returning.

This was our 2nd visit here absolutely fabulous. All staff were friendly and helpful. We reported a problem with the TV which was looked at straight away and when we returned from our day at was informed that they had moved us to another room due to the electrics tripping out.

We had a really enjoyable 2 night break at this traditional hotel within a lovely, peaceful setting. Customer service was excellent, comfy room with balcony overlooking gardens and good tasty food served in very pleasant dining room. Great value!

Stayed 6th August 2022

Enjoyed our stay at the Buckatree. Great room with balcony. Ate on the first night and the food was very good, as was the breakfast. In a fabulous location, next to Ercall Woods with great walks. Or if you are feeling really fit, you could climb the Wrekin. We have to support our own Hotels, after Covid. The Buckatree is tired and in need of some refurbishment. However this wouldn't put us off booking this delightful Hotel again.

Stayed 29th July 2022

Our 2nd visit to the buckatree Hotel. This time 10 of us celebrating my 60th birthday. We had a fabulous time. There was a problem with 1 room due to the previous occupants not checking out but reception sorted the problem and more than compensated us. We would highly recommend this hotel and will definitely be returning again.

Stayed 24th June 2022

Easy, quick check in. Friendly, helpful staff. Comfortable room. Lovely breakfast both mornings. The food at dinner was lovely and great service. Easy quick check out. Very nice hotel.

Stayed 20th June 2022

We phoned the hotel to book a third night, big mistake.! On arrival we paid the full amount for three nights. Afternoon tea was adequate, nothing special. Evening meal not very good & breakfast the next morning which looked very nice was luke warm as left on a not very hot plate. Breakfast next morning no better & our three course meal (our anniversary) was the worst meal we have ever had in a hotel restaurant. Our room was nice but the balcony overlooking the garden area was dirty also the seats which we had to clean before we could use them.Any complaint we made to staff was given the reply that they were short staffed but not their problem! Shame as it could be a very nice hotel in a lovely location but does not seem to care about attention to detail or customer service unless you are on a coach trip!

Stayed 17th May 2022

Excellent value for money, comfortable room and lovely meals. Would definitely use again if I was in that area.

Stayed 14th May 2022

Hotel and staff very pleasant. Had a lovely weekend. Only negative was that we waited a considerable long time to be served our evening meal. Staff need to address this.

Stayed 6th May 2022

This is the 7th time we’ve stayed at this hotel though mot for 3 years due to the pandemic. This time we had our dog with us and were given s lovely room overlooking the lake on the ground floor next to the fire door which was very handy! The staff were all very nice although we felt more training is needed for the younger bar staff; they really should know where to find Pino Grecio but had no clue and also, several customers were served and then had to wait to sign a check to have it put on their room. Tables in the bar were often sticky and should have been wiped down regularly. We ate breakfast and dinner both nights at the hotel with no complaints. We like the hotel and these hiccups can easily be resolved. The location for climbing the Wrekin and Ercol and visiting Ironbridge and Shrewsbury is perfect!

Stayed 27th December 2021

Very nice stay. TV a bit old fashion but the food and staff compensated that. Excellent 3 days. Martin was very accommodating and young Harry in the bar was very pleasant and helpful. In all good value for money. Bit disappointed with the lake it was more like a pond.
