The Old Vicarage
About
The Old Vicarage in Worfield, a tranquil corner of Shropshire, is a quintessential country house hotel that blends historic charm with modern indulgence. With 14 individually styled ensuite bedrooms, the property offers both luxury and a sense of home, making it a favourite for honeymoon couples, wedding parties and families seeking a peaceful rural retreat. The highlight of the estate is the Orangery Restaurant, an award‑winning venue that has earned three AA Rosettes and three Red Stars for culinary excellence. Using locally sourced Shropshire produce, the menu ranges from sumptuous A La Carte dinners to a festive Sunday lunch, all enjoyed with sweeping views of the hotel’s manicured gardens. Guests can also explore the well‑timed afternoon tea, which requires a 24‑hour booking. Beyond food, the ground offers a range of activities. Weddings are seamlessly handled with dedicated planners, welcoming ceremony and banquet spaces set in lush surroundings. The hotel’s dog‑friendly policy, combined with an expansive caretaking service, allows guests to bring their beloved companions while enjoying the fine dining experience.
