Decor in hotel and our room was a little dated. Scuffed and chipped paint in places. Otherwise clean. Quiet night’s sleep although mattress needs replacing as springs are have compressed a lost some of their resistance. Lovely grounds and beer garden.

Good location next to a nice pub. However, the hotel was a bit run down and the room was pretty awful. My room had ripped, dirty carpet and peeling paint. Unfortunately, I wouldn’t stay again.

I chose the Strawberry Bank Hotel because I was arriving on a late flight and leaving the following morning. The hotel was one of few offering suitable accommodation at a reasonable price with a 24hr reception desk. I was very pleased with the hotel; the staff were all very friendly and helpful, the room was attractive, clean and the beds comfortable. Breakfast was excellent. Many thanks for a pleasant stay!

Located in a nice Village with good amenities. Ideally situated for the NEC, 10 minutes away by car. Bar was quite vibrant with good range of drinks and food. Plenty of free parking. Did not opt for breakfast, so unable to comment. The rooms were functional and clean. However the decorations, furnishings and fittings look like they were done in around 1995, and left to fend for themselves. Overall, I thought for £60 a night it was good value for money.

Great location to stay before a flight before flying from Birmingham airport. Checkin was quick, friendly & easy. Rooms clean and tidy but could do with a little care for decorating. Restaurant has been done and even corridors are tidy just rooms need a little spruce up.
