A pleasant but restricted stay. Rooms and breakfast were good. Open the garden more.
Pros:

Rooms and service were good, when staff were there. No onsite staff from 9pm to around 7am. Lovely garden was shut off around these times, as was the bar, which was disappointing, especially with long summer days (visit May 26). Breakfast staff were very good. Shame this couldn’t have been extended throughout the day.

Cons:

Open garden for visitors post 9pm- 7am “shut down”. Make bar available later, especially in summer period where the lovely garden is a great facility.

Perfect location, wonderful breakfast and attentive staff.
Pros:

The location and breakfast was wonderful. The staff was kind and attentive.

Cons:

The toilet had some leaking issues, but the staff were very mindful and attended right away. We, unfortunately, came on an unusually hot day, so the room was a bit warmer than expected- nothing the hotel could do about that short of investing in AC!

Très bien, super équipe et dans un bâtiment avec deux cent ans d'histoire. Équipe sur place du top
Pros:

Location du top pour aller voir Cadbury World ou un petit tour de l'incroyable Village de Bourneville.
Un vrai petit déj' anglais aussi!

Cons:

Vous êtes vraiement en ville et il y a toujours un peu du bruit de la route dehors.

Perfect.
Pros:

I booked this hotel for somewhere to stay for a work trip. When travelling all day and a full on day at work, having somewhere to relax is important. The Old Farm offered this 110%. On arrival I was greeted by the manager who was professional and kind, who advised me everything I needed to know. The room was beautiful with modern features, outstanding and comfortable bed, tea and coffee facilities and a well presented bathroom. After the nights sleep, I went for breakfast where I was greeted by a lovely lady who took my order and was brought to me very quickly. The food was delicious. I cannot recognise or recommend this place enough. 10/10!!

Cons:

Everything was to standard. I do not have any complaints. Everything was perfect.

Nice location, nice building. Very basic, not cheap and room not cheerful.
Pros:

The staff were friendly. The key and pass code for entry made it feel safe. The hotel was very convenient to Stirchley the area we were visiting. The reception and dining area have been refurbished and are very nicely decorated. The hot breakfast was cooked perfectly. Bed was comfortable.

Cons:

Our room was a “standard double”, the room was tiny for £100 per night, the bed was against the wall, so have to climb over the other person to go the toilet. No space for bedside cupboards, no sockets and lamps by the bed. Only one double socket by dressing table. No storage space, just a cupboard space with a rail. Small tatty headboard attached to the wall. The en-suite was dirty, tiles/silicone mouldy, black mould falling out the shower hose, dangerous raised floor tiles, bathroom in desperate need of replacement. Minimal beverage tray, 3 teabags, 3 coffees, 4 milk portions and no water for 2 people. The “4 options” for breakfast was really odd, not standard practice of helping yourself to cold food like cereal,yoghurts,fruit and juice before you order your main hot breakfast, basically you can have one or the other but can’t have both. The breakfast was very basic and like a child’s meal, 1 sausage,1 Bacon,1 egg, pot of beans, tomatoe and slice of toast. No jam/ marmalade. Tea was Luke warm, coffee wasn’t very nice either.

Beautiful Old Hotel in a Charming Unspoilt Area of Brum
Pros:

Lovely green area of Birmingham and felt very safe. Five minutes from train station to city centre which only takes thirteen minutes into New St and across the road from Cadbury World. Amazing staff and set up a table with tablecloth, crockery and cutlery for our chippy takeaway. Loved hearing the church bells go off. Fantastic cleaners and breakfast staff amazing too.

Cons:

Would of been nice to have evening meals served as had a lovely dining room which only served breakfast to guests, but did let us use dining area and staff set up the table which was really appreciated.

Lovely atmosphere - ask for a refurbished room
Pros:

Clean
Efficient
Friendly

Cons:

A few of the rooms need updating
One had strange sink arrangements so could t really wash in it.
Maybe get some double glazing on the road-facing rooms? Linden road is busy and noisy

Pros:

The staff were really friendly, Roast dinner & breakfast were really tasty, room was clean (but basic). Ideal for Cadbury world visit.

Cons:

The road noise & hourly chimes through the night from local cathedral kept us awake most the night, double glazing or enhanced sound proofing desperately needed.

Hotel in keeping with the historic area and good value for money.
Pros:

The hotel was as described and was a good base. The staff were helpful and the room was as I expected it to be. I was able to park on site which was really helpful and free.

Cons:

The bathroom was very small and a bit cramped. The reception desk isn't staffed in the morning which made my check out more difficult.
