Rowton Castle

Exclusive use wedding venue in the heart of the Shropshire Countryside, Rowton Castle boasts romantic charm.
(688)

Steeped in history, Rowton Castle is an impressive building with its sweeping driveway, authentic stone exterior, arched entrance and towers. Full of prestige, the castle is traditional in style, making it a wonderfully enchanting setting for any wedding. For the civil ceremony, the Cardeston Suite is a magnificent room which enjoys a gothic interior style, with an ornate fireplace, carved pelmets

and striking chandeliers. Natural light floods the space, making a most romantic setting to say ‘I do’. Alternatively, the Georgian Dining Room is decorated in a classical 18th Century style, with gilded and painted panelling, creating a cosy place to exchange vows. Alternatively, for magical open air ceremony, Rowton Castle offers the Linden Belvedere; a classical Roman-style cream structure. With an artistic floral mural on the interior wall, creating a pretty backdrop, and four pillars commanding a prime position at the front, the Linden Belvedere is a most romantic spot for a rendezvous. Completing Rowton Castle are the grounds; 17 acres of tranquil land that features quintessential English walled gardens, woodlands and hidden pools, presenting an idyllic place to spend time with family and friends as well as the perfect backdrop for photographs. Lush lawns, mature trees, fancy foliage and wonderful walkways provide a pretty and picturesque view. As the night draws to a close, some guests can retreat to one of the 19 individually designed en suite bedrooms within the castle, seven of which boast period four poster beds. Truly luxurious, the rooms are warm and welcoming with a rich décor expected of castle accommodation; they will not disappoint.

It has been brought to our attention that this lovely pair celebrated their first wedding anniversary yesterday. We're not sure that we believe that a whole year could have gone by, and we definitely cannot believe that these photos didn't get a proper share first time around. Lauren and Ben showed us how to achieve a modern wedding aesthetic, in a castle, and we love that. ⁠
⁠
Happy belated anniversary guys. ⁠

You won’t find us coming up with an April fools gag, today.

For us, the beginning of April marks the return of the most gorgeous apple blossom, and why would we want to joke about that.

Did you know our walled garden is home to apple trees? Throughout the year, they create the photo backdrop that you do not want to miss. Head to our stories for more gorgeousness.

Did you know that over the last few years, we've spent our downtime working through the refurbishment plan to rival all refurbishment plans? From the lounge to bedrooms, our bridal prep space to the Cardeston Suite - plus a little garden glow up thrown in for good measure - we've not stood still for a moment.⁠
⁠
We've both and to thank for the design and styling, and for photography. There are too many lovely wallpapers, paints and accessories to mention in this post alone, but do DM us if you'd like any details. ⁠
⁠
Our wonderful team of trades pull together every single time, and so it would be foolish of us to not also thank John Halbert, Bob Evans and Dennis Watkins, too.

Exciting news! All the bedrooms on our 1st floor (including our honeymoon suite) have almost finished undergoing a glamorous makeover, and we couldn't be happier with the results!

Special thanks to the incredible team at JP Halbert painter and decorator (Jaime, Jay, Izzy and John), who are working their magic to give our rooms a stunning blend of style and comfort.

Over the past 12 months, our dedication to perfection has meant that every bedroom in the castle has now had a makeover, along with a complete transformation in Tower House.

Whether it’s for your wedding guests staying over, or for you to enjoy on the days that we open our doors as a hotel, we can’t wait to show you the results when it’s all finished!

Good morning everyone...

Stay with us, the video is rather long BUT oh so worth it. We couldn’t resist capturing the fabulous Synergy Live Band whilst performing from the castle gardens. Juan and Glen kept our visiting couples entertained in the sunshine all afternoon long. Thank you so much to those that joined us at our appointment day. It was lovely to meet so many of you x
