Excellent location for my purposes (a show at the NEC) which was within easy reach. Free on site parking is very welcome, as is ease of access. The rooms are excellent & the staff will pretty much get you anything (within reason) for breakfast. I have to mention the 'cooked exactly how you want it' bacon sandwich. Just a great start to the day! I've been here before & I'll certainly come here again.

We stayed in two glamping pods, which were very comfortable and clean, a great little space with coffee, biscuits (unfortunately no dairy-free biscuits for me but you can't have everything), a tv, plug sockets and even an en suite in one of the pods. The staff were lovely and helpful, we'll definitely be back :)

We chose this hotel because we were leaving on a flight the next morning. It is incredibly convenient for anyone using the airport. The breakfast was good and had a lot of variety. The room was fine, and nice and clean.

The village is just a short walk from the guesthouse. The village is interesting with a large village pond, village green with a monument to cyclists, two grocery stores, a chemist and two really good pubs that do food. Lots of footpaths and the odd thatched cottage are in the neighbourhood. It's about 9 miles from the NEC. The bus service seems to be good too.
We had an excellent evening meal at the Strawberry gardens. I suggest booking a table in advance though, they were very good and fitted us in on a very busy Friday night. It was a later dinner than we'd hoped but it was good quality food and service.

Reception staff were good. The buffet breakfast was good. The kettle i the room was dirty inside so I passed on tea and coffee. The room was cold there was a heater but I couldn't get it to work. Dinner was nice but it took an hour and a half to get a burger.

The best thing about this hotel was the quality of the food.
The best thing about this hotel was the quality of the food. The menu and specials were the same for both evenings but there was plenty of choice. The restaurant was full on the Friday night and service team were great. I would definately dine there if I was a local. The one negative for me was although the stylised subdued lighting was perfect for an evening in the pub and maybe setting off to bed, there was insufficient light to get ready to go out. Room 12s window overlooked the courtyard shared by the restaurant so the blind could not be fully pulled up either. The food was so nice though!!

Nice location close to the NEC but no lift for heavy suitcases, poor expensive evening meal from Marco franchise unless you like burger and lots of fancy chips, no fridge and other issues with room 101, generally we were disappointed for a best western, thankfully the Bear Inn is not to far away who served fantastic pub food and better wine

Abismal! We arrived to an extremely busy pub.
Abismal! We arrived to an extremely busy pub. We stood at the check in desk which was covered with dirty plates for ages. No one would acknowledge us, we were totally invisible, eventually one of the barmaids checked us in. Room was nicely decorated however the bathroom skirting was all black mould as was the base of the shower. The window sash cord was dangling but the worst was that we had no view whatsoever from the window! We had a brick wall and roof within touching distance. This restricted daylight should be highlighted on the booking information to give you a choice if you want to continue with the booking or not, I certainly wouldn’t have. Although this is a pub we are still paying hotel prices!
Again for dinner the pub was stupidly busy, and everyone was stood waiting for their tables. We were supposed to eat in the restaurant however we were eventually given a table just at the bottom of the stairs. Service was extremely slow but food was ok but it is expensive. Breakfast is another story; no cereal or fruit for breakfast, not enough cups, the boiler was empty, the juice was empty, the service was very very slow. To top it all the cleaner was vacuuming around other guests tables! The place is totally badly managed so won’t be back!!

Great and quiet place. Short distance to Birmingham, short distance to fuel station. Post office right in front of the hotel. Great to work, leisure. Hotel restaurant is just owesome - fish highly recommended, same as burgers!
We liked everything about our stay. Peter and Justine made us feel very welcome. The room was spacious, comfortable, and exceptionally clean. The breakfast was wonderful. Location was excellent, close to the village of Meriden with a selection of good restaurants within walking distance.
We had our wedding dinner at Strawberry Bank and then stayed for the night. Everything was set up perfectly, staff was excellent, attentive and friendly. Meal was amazing. The hotel rooms were spotless ,comfy bed and a nice breakfast in the morning.
Great location for meriden on a very nice housing estate. Room to park on the drive. Very large apartment with microwave oven fridge and all utensils you could possibly require. Nice lounge area and dining table area with tv in the lounge.
The hotel had everything we needed. They listened to my disabled needs thus given me a ground floor room. The food was lovely. The price was very reasonable and the area was perfect as we stayed for two nights for a family funeral
