Great Stay

Really nice place to stay, the room I had was also huge. The service was very friendly and efficient, and the breakfast was probably the best hotel breakfast I’ve ever had.

Wonderful Reception Staff!

The member of staff on reception is excellent. She moves around from reception to bar to restaurant and is very efficient - she is a credit to the hotel!

Our Stay

Wonderfully friendly, helpful staff. A spacious bedroom, quiet and well equipped. The only blip was the dated bathroom. Painted chips to the bath and the ‘gold’ rubbed off the taps etc.

10/10 Exceptional

A lovely place to stay

Stayed one night here and it was lovely. The building is beautifully decorated and is clearly looked after by the owners. Our room was bright and decorated in keeping with the age of the building. We had a drink in the bar and sat in the living area which was very nice. Breakfast the next morning was freshly cooked and plentiful. The staff are lovely and would definitely stay again if we were back in the area.

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.

Approach was welcoming and impressive, room (single) was large and well equipped. Breakfast was excellent and staff were helpful.

10/10 Exceptional

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.

2 nights at The Old Rectory

Really enjoyed my stay at the Old Rectory. Staff are very friendly and accommodating. Breakfast is excellent so overall stay is great value. My only tiny complaint was my mattress has seen better days and I could feel quite a few springs trying to burst out.

Lovely, lovely, lovely! A delightful B&B. Breakfast was very nice. Staff were helpful and pleasant. Room was small (room 1) but big enough for us, exceptionally clean. Tastefully decorated. Would definitely stay again. Nothing not to like. 🙂
Susan, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great service - very helpful and friendly, lovely food, bedrooms are dated, bathroom tired - the shower over the bath wasn’t to my liking - dangerous to get in and out of . I wouldn’t say it’s not a nice place to but I wouldn’t stay again tbh
Nigel, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Thank you

We had a very nice short break, all the staff were friendly and helpful. The breakfast was excellent for choice and quality. We found that the bed mattress was quite firm and for us not comfortable (for a short break we were ok with it). The pillows though were delightful. The only other minor criticism is that the plastic trim on the shower tray/door needs renewing. This is a well run family business and we would happily recommend it to others.
Bryan, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Lovely old fashioned room with a large single bed. Very comfortable bed and an ensuite shower room. All the staff were lovely and friendly and breakfast was delicious. I booked the hotel to use as a base to attend 3 race meetings. Cheltenham on the way up, Liverpool on day 2 and nearby Bangor-on-Dee on day 3. It worked out perfectly and I was even able to visit Wrexham as well, so no complaints from me.

Fab selection at breakfast, very elegant rooms and public areas. Staff couldn’t be more friendly and welcoming. Highly recommended.

8/10 Very good

Impressive building in wooded grounds. Excellent friendly service. Stayed in four poster suite which was disappointing, tatty old furniture and tired furnishings. Shower above bath was very difficult to use. Excellent breakfast. Would recommend this hotel but not the room we stayed in.
Stephen, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

The hotel grounds are quite nice with a nice terrace to the rear with a pleasant garden view. The hotel itself is quite striking. Down side for us was the room had a view of an iron fire escape, and the working yard. Possibly I had booked a twin room due to my wife's recent hip operation, and so doubles may have far better views. Room was rather tired, but clean. Plus side is they give nice biccies, water. Big plus side is the staff are really friendly, helpful, and the breakfast was excellent.
