“The nicest place we've ever stayed; the hotel against which all others will be judged.”
Hospitality: Mark and Michelle made us super welcome in their beautiful hotel without ever being over bearing or intrusive. They were always on hand when wanted, and responded to all our (sometimes awkward) requests with kindness and grace, going above and beyond on several occasions.
Bedrooms: beautifully appointed, with very comfy beds and thoughtful extras such as crystal water glasses with a thermos jug to keep water cool and a cafetiere with ground coffee and fresh milk. Our bathroom had a bath and a very powerful shower - perfect!
Breakfast: fantastic. Tropical fresh fruit salad, then a very well cooked fry up (other options are available, but we think it'd be a shame to miss this), followed by toast and baskets of croissants and bread.
Dinner: brilliant carnivore and vegetarian food. You don't have to dine at Sebastian's if you're staying, but we would strongly recommend it. Both meat and vegetarian dishes were perfectly cooked. What particularly stays with me was a little amuse bouche of leek and potato soup - seemingly such a simple thing - but with an incredible depth of flavour - all our food was of the same excellent standard. If Oswestry were slightly closer to London, we'd be along every week.
As you can probably tell, we really enjoyed our stay here and will definitely be returning. We have stayed at six of the eight hotels in Oswestry listed here, including the top rated one, and are amazed why anyone ever stays anywhere that isn't Sebastians. It's a genuinely wonderful place with very kind and very professional staff and owners.
