Lovely pub with rooms, staff always welcome, pub grub great, perfect stop for travelling to Birmingham Airport only 4.5 miles away. Second visit this time we were in one of the garden rooms (9) it was quite small, nowhere to sit other than on the bed, nothing can be done to change that but worth a mention, last time we stayed we were in the pub, room slightly bigger, the other thing that could be a small fix, bottle of water in the room as the kettle doesn’t fit under the tap, would improve comfort. Overall good stay.

Great pub inn.

This is a super pub inn in a small village not too far from the M42 and Solihull. Excellent service, good breakfast and a clean, comfortable room. I would definitely recommend a stay here. They also serve food in the evening.

Good overnight stay close to Birmingham Airport

Good overnight stay for Birmingham Airport travel. Stayed in one of the rooms off the main pub building which needs a bit of updating. Good breakfast and friendly atmosphere in bar for a few drinks in the evening, small carpark to rear of pub.

Ok

The White Lion is a nice pub but, unfortunately, my room was very small with a tiny bathroom. I retired early but the noise from the pub was very loud. Food was ok but not spectacular.

Friendly environment.

We had a room outside the actual pub, so it was very quiet and enjoyable. The staff are naturally happy and friendly, that's what comes from a family run business. Will be staying there again the next time we need to go to the NEC, which is only a few minutes drive away.
