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

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

“Much, much better than I ever imagined”

Reviewed May 18, 2013 NEW

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

“Outstanding”

Reviewed March 17, 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 February 24, 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
