But while Stoke Rochford is now open for bookings from customers with rooms available at around £175 a night, Madeley Court has continued to house migrants in its rooms with stone walls and wood panelling.
MailOnline can disclose both the Stoke Rochford hotel and Madeley Court are run by the Talash Group which is owned by brothers Ravi and Sanjay Kathuria from the West MidlandsMadeley Court has continued to house migrants in rooms with stone walls and wood panelling It is believed that Madeley Court was initially used to house asylum seekers from Afghanistan with the bulk of them arriving after the Taliban takeover of their nation in August 2021
'It offers both the facilities of a modern hotel and the ambiance of a beautiful Manor House in countryside surroundings. Describing The Mill which can accommodate parties for 230 people, the website says: 'We know that your wedding venue is much more than just a setting, it's a place where memories are made with your closest family and friends. Our team will help bring your special day to life to create a day that you will cherish forever.'
The hotel's website describes it as 'a 16th Century Manor House' which is 'steeped in history with many original features and characterful decoration' But in an exclusive interview with MailOnline, he complained the single room he has to share with his father, aged 42, and younger brother was not 'big enough for three.'
'We would like more space, a bigger room or two rooms but we can't complain. There are many migrants living here, the rooms are full. Potential guests who click on the website to check 'availability' are put through to a message saying that the web reservation system and gift vouchers 'are not accessible'
He added that the 'food was good' and the hotel, tucked away in stunning grounds was 'very comfortable.'Rose, the landlady of a pub four miles away, The All Nations Inn at Coalport, said: 'It used to be a beautiful hotel but it was left to go to ruin. 'The hotel owners are clearly getting more money from the Government to house migrants than paying guests.
'Also I know people who used to work at the hotel and when migrants moved in they were very rude to the staff so a lot of them have left. The place has been ruined now.' The website for the hotel which once sold traditional English afternoon teas is still online, giving a glimpse of how it once provided luxury accommodation to guests, paying around £150 a night for basic rooms
A force spokesperson said: 'We received a report in December 3 at around 1.25pm that a group of protesters had arrived at Madeley Court Hotel in Telford.
