Charming, comfortable and clearly not part of a chain. Pleasant decor, in keeping with the age of the house which is early nineteenth century, with interesting features such as the staircase and the portico at the front. Lovely staff especially Natalie. Excellent breakfast.

The Old Rectory provides several sitting rooms in which you can relax and read or chat with others. This is a very nice amenity, particularly if your travel companion wants to sleep while you are up or vice versa. Our room was comfortable, if a little tight, and very clean. Staff members were very pleasant and helpful. Breakfast was plentiful and well prepared, One issue is that The Old Rectory is not actually in Shrewsbury. It is 10 miles away from Shrewsbury in the very small town of Wem. The fault may lie with me for not having realized that when I booked, but others should be aware that this venue is not in walking distance of Shrewsbury or even Whitchurch.

We had an amazing stay at The Old rectory. The staff were so friendly on arrival. I had to leave for a meet up before breakfast was due to start, and so they made me a breakfast sandwich to take with me so that I didn't miss out. It was really exceptional service. The bedroom was cosy and was perfect for our needs. The only downside was that the floorboards creaked loudly whenever we walked around the room, and the bathroom/shower could do with updating. Otherwise I would highly recommend the old rectory for anyone staying in Wem.

Lovely setting and grounds

Really liked the hotel architecture and grounds. Staff were very pleasant and friendly. Breakfast options for vegans. Quiet and comfortable setting. Some of the furniture in the room could do with an upgrade as some tired and stained. Bathroom could be a bit cleaner around taps and shower basin.

2 night stay.

Lovely period hotel with mostly period furniture. Very welcoming and helpful staff. I was staying on my own but there was such a good friendly atmosphere I didn’t feel “on my own”. It was beautifully decorated for Christmas.

We have stayed a number of times. The rooms are comfortable, the staff always very pleasant & welcoming. A really good breakfast to start the day. A good location for seeing Shropshire from, park & ride for Shrewsbury is only a short drive, Attingham National Trust is also within easy reach. We look forward to returning again.
