Categories

Cleanliness
1
Multiple reviews cite tired/dirty bathroom, rust, old facilities and an unclean fridge; some guests noted clean shared bathrooms but overall cleanliness is a negative theme.
Service
1
Mixed service: several mentions of a friendly/helpful lady and friendly host, but also reports of poor communication (double booking, no refund), a staff member denying a broken TV and inconsistent handling of issues.
Location
1
Consistently praised for proximity to the airport, NEC and good bus links; location is a clear positive across reviews.
Room Quality
1
Significant problems reported: rooms left freezing, doors not locking or patched with tape, lights controllable only from outside, bifold doors compromising security, leaking showers and generally dated/poor room condition.
Amenities
1
Amenities issues flagged: no towels/tea on arrival, small/full/unsanitary fridge, non-working TV, limited parking; shared facilities create inconvenience.
Value for Money
1
Several guests noted reasonable pricing and good value for a short stay or event trip despite shortcomings, making value a relative positive.
Food and Beverage
1
Little on-site F&B reported; guests noted few nearby restaurants and absence of basics (tea/milk) on arrival — minor negative for food options but not a major theme.
Overall Experience
1
Overall mixed: location and some friendly staff are positives, but serious safety and room-quality issues (including at least one guest relocating due to insecurity) create a polarized experience.

Health and safety nightmare disgusting
Pros:

This was honestly the worst place I have ever booked to stay in my entire life none of the pictures look like the actual accommodation it was dirty from top to bottom mould everywhere kitchen was not clean enough to cook anything at all in and if you like sleeping in beds that haven’t been changed in two months this is the place for you complete with the previous peoples bodily hair Also when we arrived we walked into our allocated room to find a completely naked man in there we had to have a different room he did kindly offered us his but we clearly didn’t want it we have complained directly to the owner and booking.com but nobody really seems to care about such a terrible experience my recommendation do not visit

Cons:

I didn’t like anything to do with this accommodation

Facilities was unclean.
Pros:

Distance and parking

Cons:

Toilet, kitchen and surroundings was dirty. Toilet needs renovation, no hot water to shower. Indoor slippers were already used.. poor hygiene.
Bedroom was boarded to split 2 rooms. You could hear others talking. Overall, not a great experience. Facility wasn't clean.

It was decent for what we paid and it being last minute. I liked it had a driveway. It’s not actually a hotel. It’s a ho
Pros:

It has parking, we booked very last minute as we stayed in Birmingham very last minute. It’s very organised.

Cons:

Stayed in the first room on the left downstairs. It was a bit overcrowded with stuff inside. Felt a bit cramped.

1-bathroom house that requires a lot of planning if you stay with large groups! Good Value for money
Pros:

This was a good value for money location and during an event where everything is overpriced - it was a relief from astronomical hotel rates as a decent stay. Location is accessible (10 mins by Car and 20/25 mins by bus from NEC). Even Birmingham central is well connected. There is a kitchen on-site that you can stock and use. There is a person on-site that you can reach out in case of issues and he was very helpful and understanding - so 5/5 for his hospitality. Wifi strength is reasonable! There is an outdoor garden that is accessible (though not highly maintained but good for lounging in the morning). However, there are some weaknesses that bring the quality of this stay down. Read below in the what we didnt like section.

Cons:

So, the place has multiple rooms spread across 2 floors - which means you can travel with a large group! However, the biggest weakness of the place is that there is only ONE Bathroom and Toilet for the entire house. We travelled as a group of 4 and there were at least 3 other people in the house at different times. 7 people - 1 bathroom - go figure the wait times! If you are in hurry in the morning - you better be well planned! :) There should be at least one more bathroom for a property this size - at minimum! We wasted a lot of time in waiting for turns to use the bathroom! Kitchen utensils are not that great - usable but not the best - most likely from misuse from previous guests. The pantry is stocked with basics like sugar, salt, oil, tea, coffee, and whatever other guests leave for others - which is nice - except that there is no control over what is still good and well past its expiry date! So use at your own risk! :) Finally, there is no real grocery shop or bakery nearby - the minimum is a 15 min walk or a 10 min taxi ride to an ASDA nearby. So that is another location weakness - though there is a bus stop just outside the house! So, its a place where a lot of planning is required! However, great value for money! I would only stay again if there was one more bathroom! Else it is too stressful especially when you are there for work and are staying with many unknown people!. If you go with a big group of your own - better make a roster and a timetable to use the bathroom and you will likely manage it fine :)

Great Room, Better Cleaning Needed
Pros:

The room is visually lovely.

Cons:

The room was very nice and beautifully decorated, but the cleanliness could be improved. There was dust on the bedside table, and the mirror was dirty. The room also contained razors and toothbrushes, but these were available at an extra charge, which was not obvious.
Advice for the owners: The room is lovely, so please pay a little more attention to dusting and cleaning the mirrors. This would make the stay even more enjoyable.

Ok for a very short stay, very reasonable, for a reason, wouldn’t stay again.
Pros:

We were greeted at the door and shown to our room, the host was very helpful. Bed was comfortable and room seemed reasonably clean.

Cons:

Parking was the first issue we encountered, however we were leaving around 3am for a flight so it didn’t really matter if we’d blocked people in as he’d advised they were all leaving at 6am. It states shared bathroom but there is only one in the property for 5 rooms. Needless to say you did have to wait at times. The bathroom floor seemed to be wet most of the time and the damp smell was overbearing. The ceiling was covered in mould and the bath panel was either mouldy or rotting. Thankfully I didn’t need a shower as I didn’t fancy getting in it. The bedroom itself was ok but randomly what would have been doors had been covered with a thick plastic so you couldn’t see in or be effected by the light. If the rooms are to be separate surely remove the doors and put a stud wall in!
