Room was clean and comfortable
Pros:

The hotel was clean and nicely appointed. Staff were helpful. We had to get out of our room earlier than most hotels (9.30am) There is no food available in this hotel and we were advised to go to the golf shop for breakfast. It's expensive for room only for one person and one night.

Cons:

No breakfast on site and the golf shop is just a wooden hut with a limited menu.

Small traditional hotel in a beautiful location.
Pros:

Located in heart of Lickey Hills an area of natural beauty favoured as a place to live by premiership/international footballers. and other high earners. Excellent local pubs and restaurants a short distance away.
Next door to long 18 hole golf course.
Not far from M5 or M42 junctions.

Cons:

Could do with a little updating in tech. Wi Fi adequate. TV adequate but could be improved. No USB charging.

Pros:

The Old Rose and Crown is in a quiet location on the edge of the Lickey Hills surrounded by grass and trees. It is easy to reach from the M5.
The room was well set out with comfortable bed, sofa and chairs, and en suite.
The only downside was that no food is provided on site but there are a couple of pub / restaurants within 10 mins walk of the hotel. If you need to drive into the city centre from the hotel at peak times this will take about an hour.
Thank you for a lovely couple of days....highly recommended. 👍
