Upon arrival easy to find, just off the main road through the town, has a stone drive way with 4 spaces available outside for free parking, if these are full there is a large lay-by opposite, The first impression is this is quite a small property, but it does go back a long way when inside, the outside looks a little dated but in good condition, when inside the lobby is well decorated and very modern, There is a huge modern looking spa in what I imagine used to be the lounge with extensive extension work done on the bottom floor, We were met by “Laura” and every friendly bubbly personable young lady, who showed us to the room, the key was in the door ready to go, Walking into the room boom it was quite large with a huge super king bed and a single bed, nicely decorated and welcoming, - BED: very comfortable, good quality bedding and choice of firm or soft pillows - TV: smart tv connected to the WiFi, very slow but hey I wasn’t here for tv I was here for sleep and an event in the close by city - Bathroom: Clean and in good repair, bath tub has party lights around it so you can rave whilst having a soak, this amused my 6 year old greatly - The window in the bathroom had a broken lock so wouldn’t close, this didn’t bother us as it was hot so we had them open anyway, but if it was winter it could’ve been an issue - NOISE: so the only bad point we had was a very noisy neighbour being loud til late and up early again, nothing the B&B can do really as sound proofing an older building is near impossible - BREAKFAST - no breakfast Check out was easy as we had prepaid we just left the key in the door and left. Spa: they have a spa on site you can book into with a discount as staying guest, we were going to book but it was a “Mother and daughter” package and I was a “Father and daughter” So wasn’t sure if we could or whether males could book Treatments so didn’t want to pre book and pay for a treatment that wasn’t possible! All in all we will Happily return for the next event in Birmingham
