Holme Lacy House. Nr Hereford. Grade-I listed and dating back to 1674, Holme Lacy is said to be haunted by a certain “Grey Lady” and the site of occasional ghostly goings-on. Holme Lacy | LateRooms | TripAdvisor

Pengethley Manor. Ross on Wye. This early Georgian country house is reputed to be haunted by a spirit called Harriet who, it is said, died in a fire in 1916. LateRooms | TripAdvisor

Madeley Court. Telford. Spectral monks and things that go bump in the night are experienced by some staying at Madeley Court. TripAdvisor

Mytton and Mermaid Hotel. Atcham. Some think that the eccentric Mad Jack Mytton is still here a century or so after his funeral party stopped here en route to his burial. TripAdvisor

Prince Rupert Hotel. Shrewsbury. It’s name gives away the identity of a former owner, but it isn’t certain whether the 17th century Cavalier is one of the numerous ghosts that supposedly call this ancient hotel home. Floating objects and apparitions galore if you’re (un)lucky enough to be there at the right time (and believe in such things, of course). LateRooms | Lastminute.com

Rowton Castle. Shrewsbury. A grand, Grade-II listed building just a short drive from Shrewsbury, Rowton Castle. TripAdvisor

The Bear at Hodnet. Hodnet. This little 16th century inn possesses secret passages and, allegedly, an agreeable ghostly character called Jasper. Are the two at all connected? Who knows. TripAdvisor

The Feathers Hotel. Ludlow. Without doubt, the Feathers is a contender for the title of ‘most beautiful hotel exterior’ in the world – eulogized over by both Nikolaus Pevsner and the New York Times alike. What’s more, many people who adjudicate on such things believe it to also be one of the most haunted: Victorian, Jacobean and comparatively contemporary spirits all having been witnessed at one time or another.

The Lion Hotel. Shrewsbury. It is said that the Adam Room (ballroom) is where one might meet a ‘grey lady’ while the bar has been the location of sightings of a long-gone soldier. And if you don’t meet up with otherworldly guests, you will still be staying in a hotel of great heritage: Charles Darwin, Paganini, and Dickens are all former patrons of this superb Grade-I listed hotel. LateRooms | TripAdvisor

The Old Rectory. Wem. Classical Georgian in appearance, the Old Rectory is thought by some to be the abode of a fair few spooks, including those of children. LateRooms | TripAdvisor

The Swan. Stafford. Do witches haunt this highly-regarded old inn? After all, the building is thought by some to stand on the site of a ‘drowning pool’ where some would have met an unpleasant end. LateRooms

Alveston Manor. Stratford. Most noted for its connections to William Shakespeare’s play A Midsummer Night’s Dream there’s also a lesser claim-to-fame in the noisy monk that inhabits the cellars. Practical details are available with Alveston Manor | LateRooms | Lastminute.com

Brownsover Hall Hotel. Rugby. Every inch the classic ‘Victorian Gothic’ mansion, some say that the hotel is haunted by “One Handed Boughton” (of the Boughton-Leigh family) and that he drives his coach and horses in the nearby lanes. Lastminute.com | TripAdvisor

Coombe Abbey. Coventry. Another challenger for the title of Britain’s most haunted hotel, the truly ancient Coombe Abbey has a history dating back as far as the 12tn century, with the existing 16th century cloisters revealing its ecclesiastical origins. Indeed, its most celebrated otherworldly resident is – as one might expect – a monk: Abbot Geoffrey, a man murdered here in 1345. Numerous people have reported seeing his figure walking throughout the building, and others have witnessed items being thrown and moved for no explanation. Furthermore, there’s also a long-gone lass by the name of Matilda who resides here. Or so some say. Expedia | Lastminute.com

Ettington Park Hotel. Stratford. Those with an interest in movies might well recognise this neo-gothic building as the setting for the 1963 film ‘The Haunting’. This, it should be said, is rather apt given Ettington Park’s reputation as one of the most spooky places to stay in the UK. Rated as one of Stratford’s best hotels, it is a member of the HandPicked group. LateRooms | Lastminute.com

Salford Hall. Abbots Salford. This fifteenth century hotel has plenty of historic stories to tell and a few ghost stories, too. Reputed to be haunted by a nun, the building was indeed formerly used as a hideaway for Catholic nuns and priests. LateRooms | Lastminute.com

The Lygon Arms. Broadway. Lygon Arms | TripAdvisor

The Old Rectory. Redditch. One of the bedrooms at this early 19th century country hotel is reputed to be haunted. TripAdvisor

Ye Olde Black Cross. Bromsgrove. It is said that Charles II stopped at this old inn to have his horse reshod. And this may well by why the place is reputedly haunted by a Royalist soldier looking for the king. TripAdvisor
