The Old Rectory

Lovely place and a very warm welcome, Jo is the perfect host. Spotlessly clean, excellent breakfasts, and such friendly and helpful hosts in Jo and Ben. Artworks and antique furniture help create a delightful, peaceful atmosphere. And a great location for sightseeing castles, abbeys, National Trust places in the area.

Jo and Ben were super hosts and made us feel very welcome. The room was great and the views from the bedroom were epic. Breakfast was more than adequate with cereal, fresh fruits and full English. The house is quiet,secluded and very relaxing We had a lovely time and highly recommend The Old Rectory.

This former Rectory is a most elegant, spacious and comfortable house, and Jo Powell the most welcoming, warm-hearted and helpful of hosts. She couldn't have been more helpful and it was a delight to stay there. We took our bikes and it was an excellent base for exploring the surrounding shropshire hills. Jo provides a beautifully prepared breakfast and there is a good pub in the village of Pickleshot just a short distance away for supper. Highly recommended.

Everthing about our visit was a pleasure.There was a warm welcome with Tea and some sweets. Our bedroom and en-suite were delightful with a nice view. All views from the house are fantastic. The breakfast each Day were delicious and with plenty of choice. Jo and Ben are excellent hosts and and more than happy to help in any way. We would definitely recommend.

Thank you so much for being such a good host for us, whilst we visited your beautiful home last week. We enjoyed our brief visit to Shropshire very much, and it was certainly enhanced by the comfort of and wonderful views from your house. We felt very welcome, and your recommendation of the local pub (Bottle & Glass) was just right for us. Shropshire certainly is a strikingly lovely county, and we hope to return.

This place makes for a blissful stay - really exceptional. The house is architecturally intriguing, but it's the cleverly considered decor - smooth fabrics, matt paint, gorgeous artworks skillfully blending contemporary with antique, cosy with elegance that sets this place aside - together with warm, thoroughly affable hosts, exceptional quality of breakfast overlooking sensational countryside and sumptuous, vast uncluttered bedrooms and open fires. Peaceful yet inspiring and genuinely special.

A beautiful, art-filled house that oozes comfort and charm with two lovely en suite bedrooms. Walks in all directions, one to a charming country pub; further afield the Iron Age hill-fort of Caer Caradoc beckons. Ben and Jo are easy, generous hosts. A rare place.
