Goldstone Hall Hotel in short
Goldstone Hall Hotel is a Georgian manor house hotel near Market Drayton with a dozen bedrooms, a restaurant and five acres of gardens including a one-acre kitchen garden. The restaurant cooks from the garden in the North Shropshire countryside, and the gardens have featured on national television. The site links to the television feature for couples to watch first. This review finds it the pick for a garden-led wedding with rooms.
Customers rate Goldstone Hall four point seven on Google, which makes the weak spots stand out: the kitchen holds a three on the national hygiene register, and no company record or prices are published. In our judgement the setting carries it, though the hygiene score is a genuine mark against.
