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.

The breakfast was acceptable but nothing special. The hotel is a bit of a rabbit Warren with lots of twists and turns. Although the carpet throughout the property was very attractive it does affect your eyes and could lead to unnecessary accidents.

The only thing which we thought could be better was that we felt a little rushed at meal times. Hardly had we eaten the last mouthful before the plates were cleared and the next course arrived. Other than that, we couldn't fault it.

We were disappointed with the food and the service in the restaurant and bar and decided to eat out. On the other hand the reception staff could not have been nicer or more helpful. We had a problem with the toilet which was very difficult to flush.

Feb '19: There seemed to be a lack of enthusiasm among many of the staff, who showed little inclination to do more than the absolute minimum to please the hotel guests. Was it lack of training, supervision/leadership, experience or motivation?....
That's such a shame, because it is an excellent hotel in a superb area..

The location was excellent especially as a base for visiting Ironbridge Gorge Museums (approx 9 miles -10 to 15 minute saway) for which you need at least 2 days, but ideally 3 days to view properly. Easy access to M54 if you wanted to explore other Shropshire locations

We had a very enjoyable stay at the Buckatree Hotel, my only criticism is how we were seated in the restaurant in the evening. Everyone was seated at tables in a straight line , very close to each other, so it did spoil the ambience and you could hear everything your neighbor was chatting about, it did spoil the dinner experience.

Mould on b/room ceiling, once extractor fan had been on for a bit it started making lots of noise (room 54) room next to firedoor which was slamming shut , needed a general de-gunking. Breakfast was ok but nothing to write home about. The lake was a big pond not a lake with a broken street lamp strewn all over on its side, a plastic caution wet floor warning sign floating in the pond. As you drive up to the hotel you can see that it needs maintaining.

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.
