Very clean, very helpful staff. Really characterful building.
An £85 stay, but definitely not a £116 stay! Whilst it was nice enough, the table that I had my evening meal off hadn’t even been wiped clean at breakfast time.
Beautiful pub and rooms, we had a warm welcome by staff and enjoyed the food and our stay.

Disliked: Amenities
Nice quiet location but the room was tiny, too small to be called comfortable, getting in and out of the shower was a task in itself. Due to the low water pressure in the building the shower was very weak. The bed was comfy and I slept ok. No wifi in room. Miniscule tv. Staff were friendly, service was good and the food in the pub was reasonable. Would not pay £125 for this room again.
Second time we have stayed here and both times have been excellent. The quintessential English country pub that does excellent b and b. The staff are friendly and efficient, the evening meal and breakfasts are superb.
Highly recommend.
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.
Proper English pub 5 miles from NEC Great atmosphere

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.

Parking was tight as it was a Saturday night. The evening staff were very busy so checking took a while. It would have been useful to know the time of breakfast instead of queuing to ask.
The bin in the bathroom hadn’t been emptied from the previous occupants.
The breakfast was good and the person serving was pleasant.
A perfect end to my holiday. easy to get to from Birmingham airport and back on the motorway quickly the next morning. Friendly, clean, comfortable and excellent cooked breakfast.
