The setting is lovely with fields around and a nice beer garden to enjoy.

slippery shower floor was a bit concerning.

would come back for sure

The room was spacious with a comfy bed, a big flat-screen TV, and a private bathroom with fresh towels, body soap, and a hairdryer. The restaurant served delicious meals like fish and chips, and the garden had lovely views over the fields. The staff were super helpful. Great for NEC events too!

we had a lovely stay at strawberry bank. the staff were super helpful, allowing us to park before check-in and giving us info about the bus to the nec, which was just a quick ride away. the setting is beautiful, with nice views over the fields. we loved that the main dining restaurant looked gorgeous, and the beer garden will be perfect for summer visits!

perfect for park walks and nearby historical sites

I had a lovely stay with friendly staff and enjoyed the breakfast, the hotel is conveniently close to Lavender Hall Park just under 5 km and the Church of Saint John the Baptist only a few kilometers away that made my strolls all the more enjoyable.

Housekeeping interrupted my morning too early.

The cozy bar provided a nice touch, while the long wait for food was frustrating.

Comfortable stay, but the room cleanliness was lacking, felt unwelcoming.

The experience was marred by a long wait for food , especially since we were the only party in the restaurant. The cold meals served were unacceptable, and the burger was downright inedible, highlighting poor kitchen standards. While the staff were friendly, their service was inconsistent at best, and it felt like they lacked proper training.

I had a lovely stay, enjoying both the big, warm bath and the cozy bed in my double room. The garden area was perfect for relaxing in the sun, and I loved unwinding with some live entertainment in the evenings. Just a small thing, the Wi-Fi could be a bit spotty at times, but overall, I really enjoyed my time here! 😊

The room was pleasant, but the shower floor was slippery.

Loved the spacious room and comfy bed. perfect for relaxing after work. The evening meal was tasty, especially the fish and chips, and the beer selection was impressive. Plus, the garden area is great for unwinding.

Helpful staff and beautiful garden setting

I recently enjoyed a two-night stay in a family room, where the staff were incredibly accommodating, allowing us to park early and providing handy transportation information to nearby attractions. The garden area was lovely, providing a peaceful backdrop for our stay, and the meals, particularly the breakfast, offered good value and quality. I did find the mattress a bit uncomfortable and noticed some cleanliness issues in the shower.

easy access to parks and landmarks for weekend strolls

My two-night stay was enjoyable, primarily due to the proximity to lovely Lavender Hall Park and the National Motorcycle Museum, making it so easy to explore on foot. the staff were also exceptionally friendly, and the breakfast served was one of the best I've had during my travels.

Free parking right outside is a plus, and the bus stops nearby make it easy to reach the NEC and Birmingham Airport. The rooms are spacious, and the shower pressure is quite good, which is a definite perk after a long day.

The decor in various areas is showing its age, and while the rooms are large, they're a bit dated, lacking a fridge which would have been useful. On top of that, both noise from neighboring rooms and thin walls can disrupt your peace—if you’re in a hotel for some rest, you might find that a bit challenging. I encountered a mold patch in the bathroom, which really should be addressed to keep hygiene standards up. I’d steer clear of breakfast. it seemed like a low point for most guests. it feels a bit disjointed between the charming elements and the maintenance issues.
