The shepherds hut glamping pod was very nice, I wanted to book something a little different and I loved the idea of it. There were plenty to chose, some more modern but I liked the rustic feel. The restaurant was beautifully decorated the quirky art work and clocks on the walls were great, they all had price tags on so assuming you could purchase them. The food was lovely, (dinner and breakfast).The land has so much potential, it just needs some TLC. Would definitely stay again but try a room in the house next time.
Situated at Birmingham International Airport, this modern Ibis Hotel is just 300 metres from the airport terminals. The hotel has a 24-hour front desk, and a bar open from 11:00 am to 1:00 am.
The closest 4-star hotel to the arrival and departure terminals, The Novotel Birmingham Airport is just 1 minute's walk from Birmingham Airport complex.
Reception staff were good. The buffet breakfast was good.
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!!

The hotel is ideally situated for nec 10 min drive into the countryside. Parking is ample. The rooms was a bit tired lick of paint here and there. The bathroom was spotless and very nice. The staff were amazing and couldn't do enough to make your stay wonderful even gave us a plaster and fresh milk for the rooms. Linen and towels were very clean bed comfy room was big.
Recommend visiting the restaurant the food was brilliant. Breakfast was buffet style but eat what you wanted loads of choices.
For the price we paid better than some big brand hotels. They made you feel very very welcome.
We will be back next year
Visited here as I was travelling for the Arnold Classic event held at Birmingham NEC really glad I found this place! It's not your usual hotel it's got more of a homely feel to it and the staff go beyond to meet expectations. Lovely and clean room no complaints there and a comfy bed! Freshly cooked breakfast every morning, Plenty of options on breakfast and drink. Will be back!
Hotel well situated for visiting the NEC. Breakfast was good with reasonable choice of food. Limited choice for evening meal unless you like burgers. Building getting somewhat worn and in need of decorating/repairs. However, still reasonable value for money and I would be happy to stay there again.
Very nice clean and well decorated good location for what we needed, the staff were very friendly and nice. I liked how the room was a like a little out building on the outside of the hotel itself as well so you not backed up next to other people’s rooms it felt very private which was lovely.
The room and bed was really comfortable. The layout of the hotel worked really well as the pub was lively but didn't impact the hotel rooms and the restaurant felt like you could have been anywhere, it flowed really well. The bathroom was really clean and the shower was hot and powerful
I liked the location of the hotel, close by to a wedding we was attending just down the road. The hotel was easy to find, and plenty of free car parking spaces. The staff were friendly, rooms clean and tidy and quiet enough to sleep well. Just the right temperature too.
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.
Dinner in the restaurant was excellent, as was the 'buffet-style' breakfast in the morning, and the service. Great location, only 15 mins from Birmingham Business Park/NEC but quiet - lovely garden and view at the rear of the hotel!
Hotel lovely & clean the room was a generous size & bed comfortable. Restaurants were gorgeous but a little expensive but the food was lovely. Staff very helpful & pleasant especially Belinda on breakfast duty. thanks all.
Good location in attractive village of Meriden - quiet . Excellent parking. Very comnfortable room - well appointed, well lit and plenty of power points - excellent housekeeping.
Dinner - very good as was Breakfast.

The hotel was very well presented, everything was clean and comfortable, our evening meal was a real disappointment. The waiting staff were really nice and attentive but the food didn't meet expectations.
The hotel is in a great location, just 10 minutes drive from the NEC. Was impressed with how well designed and clean the rooms were, the shower was excellent. There is ample parking.
Lovely hotel clean & tidy good food
Friendly staff
