The restful, friendly atmosphere of this beautiful Georgian house sweeps you away immediately. As you enter the Old Rectory hotel through the Georgian pillars you are greeted with a beautiful staircase. The traditional wooden bar, with its tapestries, styled interiors and pine floors, is a perfect place to hang out with old and new friends over a drink. The tranquil drawing room invites you to sit and relax while enjoying views of the well-kept grounds and historic architecture that surrounds you. During the winter months an open log fire welcomes you. The warm and enticing restaurant offers freshly prepared traditional cuisine with an international flare. The sun room overlooks the beautiful grounds with an abundance of flowers, fruit trees and an original folly. All 14 bedrooms have private bathrooms and are individually decorated with their own shape, size and character. The rooms are named after the rectors of Wem, and a brief history guide is found in each of the rooms. Hotel Rooms: 14 The most recent booking for this hotel was made on Jun 18 at 17:15 from United Kingdom.

The staff were kind enough to provide my wife with a Gluten Free alternative at the wedding celebration and at breakfast the next morning. This does not happen everywhere.

Location to Wem was good for our needs. The Junior staff were very accommodating and friendly unfortunatley let down by the female General MAnager. (We understand that she has a reputation for her unfriendly approach. The General Managers attitude was very poor and far from customer friendly. The room was not like advertised and particularly small. The bedding was dire: old and scratchy. The shower was cold and a trickle. For £94 this was very poor value for money. I have stayed in better budget hotels. Never will we return or recomend this hotel.

we enjoyed our stay at the old rectory the staff were hard working and friendly the hotel was spacious and comfortable i would recommend it to friends if they wanted to stay in the area. Wem itself doesnot seemto be a very attractive town but this Old rectory would make a good place to explore shropshire which looks a great county to explore.

The staff were excellent. The accommodation was superb. Spotlessly clean. Food was excellent and plentiful. Views were stunning. It's a shame the rear of the building is derelict.
