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.

Comfortable stay
We had a very comfortable stay at The old Rectory. The hotel is a beautiful old building in lovely well maintained gardens. Our room was very comfortable with everything we needed provided including a good range of toileteries. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful. Breakfast was a very good full English which we enjoyed immensely. I would definitely recommend the hotel which has a lot of character at a very reasonable price.

A very pleasant overnight stay. The staff were most friendly and helpful, even allowing us to sit in the garden room to eat our takeaway as there was no evening main menu. Breakfast was excellent. The drawback for me was that the bed was too hard and too short.
