“Wonderful Stay”

Reviewed 25 May 2013

This was a wonderful place to stay. It has a truly great host, who didn't miss a beat when the power adapter I had been using on our travels decided to short out, throwing a 32 amp circuit breaker. Power was back on immediately, with an offer to provide us with a working adapter. Beyond the very robust house wiring,... More

Problem with this review?

I checked out your adaptor, there was nothing left inside - just black and burnt! Very glad that you enjoyed your stay and hope you will be back in the UK so you can visit us again. Shropshire has a lot of interesting places to see. More

The Old Rectory itself has a wonderful ambience and the rooms we had was large, comfortable and very clean. If you are loooking for... More

It is very flattering to receive a review from a widely travelled guest and avid reviewer. Thanks for your kind comments and we are very glad you enjoyed your stay with us and your visit to Shropshire. I think our other guests enjoyed their stay too and enjoyed meeting you both. More

“Why go to hotels when there are guest houses like this”

Reviewed 19 May 2013

Adrian and Rosemary were so welcoming it was just like staying with friends, especially when they introduce you on first name terms to the other guests over breakfast and the conversation just flows. The rectory is full of character and very comfortable, and with a lovely relaxing garden and the wonderful home cooked food based on local produce our whole... More

So very glad you enjoyed your stay, especially as it was a busy weekend. We do hope you will return. More

“Much, much better than I ever imagined”

Reviewed 18 May 2013

The Old Rectory of St James was so much better than I ever imagined... This quintessential olde English house is set in a beatiful, landscaped garden, yet only a couple of miles from The International Centre (conference centre). The rooms are large and full of character, the bed was super-comfortable and the food..... well, I could write a whole review... More

We do try to exceed expectations and glad we seem to have done that for your stay. Hope to see you again next year. More

“Outstanding”

Reviewed 17 March 2013

On business trips, I tend to avoid the big corporate hotels and instead look for a good local B&B with a bit of the X-factor. The Old Rectory of St. James could not have been a better choice. Only five minutes drive from the centre of Telford, the Old Rectory is situated in a wonderfully quiet and peaceful place, a... More

“Just perfect”

Reviewed 24 February 2013

My husband and I have just enjoyed a wonderful weekend at the Old Rectory, with welcoming hosts, delicious food, and a well appointed and spotless bedroom. It was bitterly cold so our hosts had already provided extra heating and an electric blanket as our room was very large with 2 big windows - how thoughtful. Despite my current weight loss... More
