It was my second time staying here. I visit the town because a friend lives there. Before my trip, I kept talking to him to plan ahead and find good places to go out to, like pubs. Since it's England, we thought we should find a place serving shepherd's pie. We both barely found a place in a nearby town, serving vegan shepherd's pie. We even asked them if they can make the original version, which contains mutton. They replied saying the menu will have changed by that time. I told this to the staff at The Rectory via direct messages, they confirmed that they haven't seen shepherd's pie around either, then the manager told me the chef will make the dish just for me and my friend! The same "hunt" happened regarding cottage pie (that one is made with beef) but the one pub we could find, serving vegan cottage pie in a nearby town, simply agreed to make us the non-vegan version. Back to The Rectory: Their chef made us portions that were about twice the size of the aforementioned cottage pie from the neighboring town. And it cost us much less than we expected, about half of what we thought we'd pay. We thought we could at least leave a tip for the favor, but no!

It was the first time that my fourteen year old daughter had stayed in a proper hotel and the experience was amazing! When she asked for hot chocolate with breakfast rather than tea or coffee, nothing was too much trouble. Breakfast was served and the toast arrives a few moments later providing staff with an opportunity to check that all is well before they leave you to it! We were shown to our suite by a friendly receptionist who talked with our chatty daughter all the way to the room and made her feel really welcome and happy. When we compared the price of our stay to what we would have paid for some of the large national chains, it wasn't that much more and the amazing service more than made up the difference! On the day that we were due to arrive, we received a telephone call to inform us that a disco would.be taking place until midnight that night and they hoped that it wouldn't disturb us! It wasn't a problem and we didn't hear much of it anyway!

The Staff.... The staff really could not do too much to oblige with any request, i had a lot of personal dietary needs that the staff met as though it was just normal. This was extremely appreciated. The Food... The food was hot and cooked well, it was also customized to my requirements without any question. The Building.... This is a beautiful Georgian building with period Georgian decor and furniture. It was also noticed that there were several out buildings that appeared to be undergoing restoration, which was nice to see. The Location.... This beautiful Georgian house was situated in the village of Wem, and was central to my visiting requirements in Shrewsbury and Ellesmere.

The hotel was wonderful, it had a lovely feel to it, very welcoming. The staff were excellent, very helpful and accommodating, despite all my different requests! Excellent food. Breakfast was delicious, well cooked and there was plenty of it. We also had an assortment of 'snacks' for our evening meal, again, very fresh and tasty. The room was superb, spacious, light and airy, just the right temperature too. It was surprisingly cosy for its size. Very comfortable. The hotel was easy to find, had lovely grounds and lots of period features.

Absolutely everything. Characterful Edwardian building in beautiful grounds with sumptuous interiors and wonderful staff - Nathalie greeted us, carried our cycle panniers up, cooked and served us a splendid dinner and did all the clearing away and washing up. The night porter brought us fresh tea for our early morning cuppa. Eve at breakfast was equally attentive. Somewhere dry and safe for our cycles. Beautiful bedroom with huge bed and lovely bathroom. We felt like landed gentry
