Lovely old fashioned room with a large single bed. Very comfortable bed and an ensuite shower room. All the staff were lovely and friendly and breakfast was delicious. I booked the hotel to use as a base to attend 3 race meetings. Cheltenham on the way up, Liverpool on day 2 and nearby Bangor-on-Dee on day 3. It worked out perfectly and I was even able to visit Wrexham as well, so no complaints from me.

The furniture was dirty, and the carpet was stained. My room was cold, although I noticed other corridors than mine were heated. Walls were thin, I could hear neighbors conversation.

Impressive building in wooded grounds. Excellent friendly service. Stayed in four poster suite which was disappointing, tatty old furniture and tired furnishings. Shower above bath was very difficult to use. Excellent breakfast. Would recommend this hotel but not the room we stayed in.

The hotel grounds are quite nice with a nice terrace to the rear with a pleasant garden view. The hotel itself is quite striking. Down side for us was the room had a view of an iron fire escape, and the working yard. Possibly I had booked a twin room due to my wife's recent hip operation, and so doubles may have far better views. Room was rather tired, but clean. Plus side is they give nice biccies, water. Big plus side is the staff are really friendly, helpful, and the breakfast was excellent.

Wonderfully friendly, helpful staff. A spacious bedroom, quiet and well equipped. The only blip was the dated bathroom. Painted chips to the bath and the ‘gold’ rubbed off the taps etc.

A lovely old house, so creaking floorboards and no lift but that just goes with the character of the property. Very friendly and efficient staff, very clean, excellent breakfast, very good 'light bites' food in bar which was all we needed in the evening (restaurants about 10 mins walk away). My bed could have done with a new mattress but in any event I slept like a log so can't complain too much about that.

We loved our stay at the Ancient Gatehouse. The room was lovely and looked out over the green in front of the Wells Cathedral. The staff is very friendly and helpful and the hotel has an excellent Italian restaurant, where we enjoyed a delicious dinner before walking around the lovely town of Wells. Americans should know it is not air conditioned, but air conditioning is rare in the UK and Europe. There is a fan and lovely large windows. We will definitely return.

The Old Rectory provides several sitting rooms in which you can relax and read or chat with others. This is a very nice amenity, particularly if your travel companion wants to sleep while you are up or vice versa. Our room was comfortable, if a little tight, and very clean. Staff members were very pleasant and helpful. Breakfast was plentiful and well prepared, One issue is that The Old Rectory is not actually in Shrewsbury. It is 10 miles away from Shrewsbury in the very small town of Wem. The fault may lie with me for not having realized that when I booked, but others should be aware that this venue is not in walking distance of Shrewsbury or even Whitchurch.

Charming, comfortable and clearly not part of a chain. Pleasant decor, in keeping with the age of the house which is early nineteenth century, with interesting features such as the staircase and the portico at the front. Lovely staff especially Natalie. Excellent breakfast.
