Hoar Cross Vacations from ￥176,050

On getting to the hotel, I wasn’t happy with the room I was initially given, and I expressed my concerns with the front desk staff of which she immediately gave me another option. Overall, please with my stay and will visit again.

Hotel building, grounds are beautiful and spa is incredible, but rooms are dated and noisy. I was on the ground floor and you can hear noise all outside of the bar /restaurant area. The net curtains on the windows were stained, there was a dirty food stain on the wall near the table, and the wardrobe paint is flaking off. Poor/no soundproofing I could hear all neighbours, and was woken up by external noise at 5:50am. TV didn't work ,only showed radio stations. Food in restaurant was very good, and bar staff very friendly and helpful. Breakfast food was basic- one type of sliced bread, basic pastries etc. Hot breakfast food was not hot as it is simply kept in ceramic pots on hot rings, so all of the "hot" food is lukewarm. Luckily I stayed on business, as I would not be happy paying £150 for 1 night here.

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.

The room was lovely, very comfortable and clean. The hotel is in a good central location. We were very pleased.

Nice friendly staff lovely room and area and excellent price would definitely stay again when in the area
