Buckatree Hall Hotel is believed to have derived its name from stag hunting days, when a buck was found in the fork of a tree.
The hotel is very close to The Wrekin, an iconic hill with an ancient hilltop fortress. The walk to the summit is approximately 3.5 miles and takes an hour and 30 minutes.
The National Trust's Attingham Park is approximately 15 minutes' drive away. You can explore the 18th-century mansion where fallow deer roam the park, go stargazing or peruse the vast collection of Regency furniture, silver, paintings, porcelain and textiles.
Experience life as it was over 100 years ago through the sights, sounds, smells and tastes of the recreated Victorian town at Blists Hill, an open-air museum 15 minutes' drive away.
Ironbridge Gorge, a UNESCO World Heritage site since 1986, is 15 minutes' drive away. Silent ironworks, foundries and mines that once breathed life into the valley have now been replaced with boutiques, gastro pubs and museums.
The hotel's Lakeside Restaurant has views of the gardens and the private lake. The kitchen uses seasonal ingredients from local Shropshire suppliers.
Facilities include a gym.

Room was often cold due to radiator not functioning properly. Limited toiletries, cleaning of our room was questionable, towels,were not changed when left for changing. Staff are very polite but some service was slow. The atmosphere in the bar area is soul less.

This could be a hidden gem if the standards were better, what a shame.
Other Comments
The walls in the room were mouldy (room 56).
The room was cold as the radiator was cold and this cannot be new to the management as there was an electric heater in the wardrobe!
The bottom sheet on the bed was not big enough to cover so you could see the mattress protector under the pillow.
The pillows were rock hard.
The breakfast was lukewarm.
There was a snail trail on the carpet behind the sofa in the lounge/bar area.
*Please note - we did speak to the manager on the way out (we checked out mid afternoon 3rd Jan and did not stay the second night) and let him know most of this. We do not think that it should be the guests job to ensure that the rooms are up to standard. The guests job is to go and relax and enjoy the stay.

The food at night was a bit odd. It was obviously pre prepared and straight from the fridge as everything was cold including the plate and the bread plus the cheesecake was soggy from sitting in the sauce for so long. Breakfast was great. The room was lovely and clean and for the money it was a good deal.
