Afternoon tea is served on arrival, with a tray of homemade cakes. Rooms all have a flat-screen TV and scenic views. Guests can also make use of free Wi-Fi throughout the building, and free private parking on site. The Shropshire hills that surround The Old Rectory of St James are ideal for walking and cycling.

Adrian and Rosemary were friendly and proffessional in everything they did. Nothing was too much for them, I was back late every night of my 4 night stay and they always left a small jug of milk outside my room so I could have a cuppa when I got back!

It's the attention to detail that really counts at The Rectory of St. James. Comfort, cleanliness, locally sourced produce and good home made food, and rooms presented and furnished to a very high standard. Above all, Rosemary and Adrian's warm and welcoming hospitality was superb. I can't think of anything.

We were welcomed on arrival in a very friendly manner with a cup of tea and cakes. The property has been decorated to a very high standard with little items available which make such a difference eg a torch in case needed in the bedroom, real (not 'plastic') milk for drinks in the room, fruit in the room etc. Breakfasts were cooked to order and were anything you wished for. There are many, many plusses about the whole visit. We really couldn't think of anything

1.Friendly welcome from Adrian and Rosemary with a welcome tea and homemade cakes. 2. The standard of accommodation is a luxury and it all has been refurbished with quality design in keeping with the country style rectory just a few miles from the main town of Telford. 3. The breakfast was excellent and a great choice of cooked variations and they are very flexible with your requirements I found. Nothing and this is a return visit from us.

This is a beautiful property lovingly kept/restored with a very friendly atmosphere and genuinely friendly owners. Now that I have discovered this venue I will try to stay again (subject to availability). The room was clean, comfy and very nicely furnished.

So convenient to visit our relatives and very pleasant proprietors... a very private guest house that is also only a short drive away from the Iron gorge area I can not think of any ..other than it was cold at night when the heating was eventually switched off.. this is what I would have expected in a high ceiling quality house though. There was a portable heater supplied and electric blanket so this is not a complaint.

great location in relation to conference venue. wonderful en-suite room with nice views even in winter...the grounds must be fantastic when the sun shines or in spring or autumn. food was very good, breakfast and dinner... homemade bread,biscuits and preserves....home farmed eggs. adrian and rosemary could not have been more helpful. would recommend the old rectory very highly.
