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.

Excellent quality at a great price.

We had a really lovely weekend at the Old Rectory. Large room, quiet and warm. Breakfast was excellent. All the staff were really nice. A mix up with the booking was dealt with very efficiently by the person on the desk (Natalie, I think). She sorted everything out and we were made to feel very welcome. Easy walk into the town, which has an Indian restaurant, other takeaways and a few pubs with food and beer.

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.

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.

It could of been better, the bed's was very uncomfortable as the mattress was dreadful. The sandwich was stale and I am not sure what the breakfast was as it all seemed scaled down.

We chose the Old Rectory as it was close to family/friends that we were visiting. Not only was it convenient it was a great hotel with such friendly and welcoming staff. The gardens around are also beautiful.

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.
