It's a nice place - the room was very good - and enjoyed a good meal in the evening. However, the service at breakfast was shocking - very poor indeed. I came into the bar from the hotel (so it's obvious I stayed) - and thanked like I was leaving - rather than directed to breakfast. A 'wait here' board - with no one in sight - so I find a table. No glasses for OJ - so I ask at the bar. No one takes my order - I go to the bar. I go to get a cup of tea - no cups - I go to the bar. The morning service seemed like they were caught napping - their manager needs to go see for themselves, and HO need to send a mystery shopper in....!

Stayed here a good number of times and always enjoyed our stay. Food is always decent albeit pub style grub, restaurant can get busy so worth booking a table, very easy to do on the app. Staff always polite and extremely helpful. Rooms are a good size and always clean and well presented. Bar area is usually pretty busy every evening but has a great atmosphere.

Had to wait ages to check in, bar staff were just looking at me! Had to ask for someone to check me in. Paid for breakfast but couldn’t find anyone to greet me for breakfast so just ended up leaving. Nice hotel / pub facilities just a lack of staff

Nicely updated old hotel/pub that gives you old English character with modern amenities.
Small hotel (<35 rooms), but the rooms are a nice size and the decor throughout is warm and comfortable. Pub includes a beautiful bar and a large dining area.
Only ate breakfast there, but it was great and worth paying extra to get it included.
Employees were friendly and went out of their way to meet our needs.
Great location.
Only knock I would have was that my bed was a bit firmer than I prefer, but it was still comfortable.

I have only given staff and service 1 star as there was one member of staff who was very rude when serving at the bar to both my partner and other customers waiting to be served. We were going to enquire about having breakfast before leaving however the same member of staff was on the reception desk and didn’t even raise her head to acknowledge us and even though we were standing in front of her we were totally ignored. Consequently we just left our room key and went for breakfast elsewhere.

Service was both friendly and professional. On checking in, we asked if we could have a quiet room and it was immediately changed. Tea and coffee were generous and welcome note and chocolates we a nice touch.
This will become a regular place to stay when visiting family.

We came last February and thought the food was great, what was printed on the menu, was served. Your new chef seems to dish up what he wants. The chef & Brewer Benedict should also be served with mushrooms, I thought he was having a bad day but he served 2 others colleagues the same without mushrooms. The roast, we had just finished work late so we eat around 7pm but that should no excuse to served the roast potatoes (which were not even traditional roast potatoes) were hard and hollow. He should not have served these up but instead offered an alternative. We didn’t all sit together on Sunday but we all had the roast and mentioned the potatoes the next day, the roast was also lukewarm. At the time we didn’t complain, I think because we were tired and couldn’t be bothered. I also did not want the Yorkshire pudding but it was served!!! Fish & Chips on Monday night was missing my peas and my colleague’s burger and fries, well were they fries, they certainly were not fresh fries.
Breakfast, your team of lovely young ladies order to chat at the other end of the bar, twice I had to go to the bar to place my order.
Unfortunately, I was checked into room 31 but your lovely reception did not mentioned that someone was available to carry my luggage to room 31, 40 stairs away from reception, there were no other double rooms available when I called from the room.
JJ was fantastic, service quick, professional and collected my luggage.

Easy to get to from the M42, and free parking. Hotel is clean, the staff were friendly and the room was a good size. Air con in the room which was also important for the summer. The restaurant/pub attached served good food too. Would stay again. Only downside was no lift, but this trip I didn’t have much luggage.
10.0 / 10.0
no shampoo in the room so remember to take all your own toiletries. The two ladies on reception couldn't have been nicer. I have a slipped disc so I can't take my heavy luggage upstairs. So lovely to see friendly and helpful people. Drinks and biscuits left in the room were lovely. No bottled water. Huge comfy bed and large bathroom.

From 8.40 am I tried to raise someone at Reception on at least 3 times over I/2 hour. No one came to answer the bell and the only one around, a waitress could not locate ANYONE. You lost a £100 sale.

Stayed here last night with a friend, as we were going to a gig. The hotel was lovely and clean. The lady working on reception yesterday was so kind a friendly

This could be a very comfortable hotel as it is in a lovely village outside of Birmingham. However it is let down by by a lack of staff with the reception only open at check in and check out times otherwise you have you have to go find someone to help with queries. Our room looked out onto a flat roof on which were placed various refrigeration units which were very noisy at night and the window had frosted glass, presumably to mask the view. Whilst the cooked food at breakfast was ok the continental display was poorly stocked due the lack of staff resulting in guests having to constantly ask for things such as butter, milk and bread for the toaster. However the staff in the Chef and Brewer pub in the same premises during the evenings were extremely helpful and the evening meal excellent.

The bar area for the evening and especially breakfast was very cold as no heating on at all, otherwise very good.

The hotel was perfect for my brief stay (up from Devon for a funeral in Knowle Church) although I know the hotel well having lived in the area from 1976 to 2003.
Just one small suggestion for improvement: I believe that a direction sign to Reception is needed on the wall to the left of Room 4 pointing left. This would help enormously!

Check in was a nightmare!
I actually had two pints at reception when waiting to sort room at the family room which I booked had a useless sofa bed with a 5cm foam mattress.
Very poorly handled with numerous armature excuses.
I explained we were going around in circles and suggested there could be a spare single bed in another room and offered to collect it ourselves. We were told that no rooms had spare beds, a colleague of ours happened to overhear the conversation said that he had a spare single in his room and solved the problem.
This took an hour to sort and with no apologies or any consideration for other guests waiting to check in.
Bar staff totally uninterested in serving and need training.

Nice hotel located within a pub chain - Green King/Chef & Brewer. Lovely big spacious double en suite bedroom- very clean and tastefully decorated. Large tv and tea/coffee making facilities- lots of hot water for either a nice relaxing bath or a quick shower. Room warmed up very quickly which was mu h needed after being out in the wet and cold. Bed was very comfy - pillows were a bit hard but had a decent nights sleep anyway. Would return again as very convenient for NEC - Knowle is a lovely little town with some quirky shops and nice eateries.

We stayed here after a long day of travel. Booked it after we discovered our flight to Birmingham airport had been delayed so we would be later getting back than planned. Our flight was delayed further and we were concerned we would miss check in, I was unable to get hold of the hotel via phone or email, which was a concern. Luckily we landed a little earlier than expected and got there around 8:30. It was only a 10 minute drive to the airport so ideal!! This hotel was lovely. Looked like it had been newly refurbished. Room and bathroom were traditional but modern. Shower was nice and toiletries smelt good. The greeting at reception was great and the bar had a good range of drinks. We arrived late so didn't eat but the food looked and smelt delicious. We would have eaten there if our travel plan hadn't been delayed. We left very early in the morning and the night porter was friendly and helpful. The parking was included as well which was great. Overall apart from issues communicating the experience was lovely and we would definitely stay again if were flying into Birmingham.

Great value comfortable stay.
Comfy bed, soft linens and nice decor. Air conditioning was a nice surprise in a UK hotel. Bathroom was quite small but great shower and clean, all looked recently refurbed. Take your own toiletries as only hand soap provided. Big tv and coffee/tea facilities.
Breakfast in the pub was great so would recommend B&B.
