If you enjoy a country retreat this will suit you very well. Short drive to the motoway, makes it easy to travel around. But you do need a car to get the best from this location.

Lovely grounds and room. Fridge had a rotten smell when we arrived. The outside entry grounds was untidy with rubbish and cigarette butts but the worst that greeted us was seeing a durex packet right at the front garden. We advised the staff about it but it remained there for the whole time we where there.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The property is in a quiet rural spot, convenient for Birmingham, Solihull, Redditch, the M42, etc. I am not aware of any public transport links to the hotel, though, other than taxi. Rooms are to a good standard, although some aspects of the bathrooms could be freshened up (e.g. shower grouting). The restaurant and bar offer a limited menu, but with healthier and more ‘home cooked’ options than chain “lodge” and “inn” alternatives nearby. Overall, very good value

We are visiting family who live down the lane. When we first arrived they had us in a room above the entrance. Since it was warm we kept the windows open but unfortunately could hear people as the exited the building. The owner allowed us to move to a quiet room. The owner,Dave, is wonderful. Allowed us an early check in. Dave is also the chef and did a stellar English breakfast!

Lucinda

Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort

It was okay

We were initially given a room directly above the pub, which was extremely noisy. I had to request a room change, and to their credit, we were moved to an accessible room. While the new room was quieter, it did have several issues. The main light in the room didn’t stay on properly, and the accessible bathroom was potentially hazardous — the shower flooring was incredibly slippery and not up to standard. This poses a serious risk, especially for those with mobility issues, and needs urgent attention before someone gets hurt. Although there was a kettle and mugs in the room, there was no tea, coffee, or milk provided. A small but noticeable oversight. Breakfast was another area of concern. It’s served from 8:30am, which is quite late, and when I politely asked if it was possible to order slightly earlier, one staff member was quite rude. Thankfully, another team member stepped in and kindly took our order. The food itself was fairly standard — nothing exceptional. Overall, the stay had some redeeming aspects, but the room safety concerns and customer service left a lot to be desired.

Hotel that is just not interested in the guests

I travel a lot and can overlook many issues when staying at hotels, however I stayed here for 3 nights. The last night they had a party down stairs under my room and the music did not stop until midnight and I had to be up early the following morning the peek volume was 80 DB and I called the hotel the following morning to discuss as I had to leave very early and reception just said they would get a manager to call me back and then hung up without taking my number. Clearly they don’t care about any guests ! Very poor indeed!
