It’s a smart and stylish interior with a lovely bar/dining area and very nice, well decorated modern bedrooms with a good shower room. Super king bed in room 5 was comfy and it was quiet when we stayed. The English cooked breakfast was really good - top marks for that! Location is beautiful!

We liked The Bell and would stay again. Few points - no hairdryer in room but there is an iron/ironing board. And we weren’t advised of the guest entrance to the bedrooms after closing - which nearly caught us out when we arrived home from a business dinner to find it locked up at 10.45pm. Fortunately, the manager was just driving out and saw us walking in to the carpark. Not sure we’d have discovered it without being shown tbh - Could’ve been very tricky!!

From the moment we arrived, we were warmly welcomed by the incredibly friendly and attentive staff, setting the tone for a truly relaxing stay. The hotel is nestled in an idyllic setting that immediately put us at ease—peaceful, scenic, and just what we needed. Our room was impressively spacious, exceptionally clean, and featured one of the most comfortable beds we've ever slept in. The home-cooked meals were another highlight—tasty, hearty, and made with care. Overall, this place offers a rare combination of beautiful surroundings, genuine hospitality, and cozy comfort. We’re already looking forward to our next visit.

No negative points to report

The Bell exceeded our expectations for our three night stay . Our room was clean and comfortable and we had a large bathroom with a separate tub. The pub is set in a beautiful village. The breakfast was lovely- a full English freshly made to order by the chef each morning . The chef and housekeeping staff were very friendly and helpful despite things being new lately due to change of ownership. We met the new owner and she was kind. Church bells go off through the night which I thought would be disruptive but actually added to the charm of the place .

Only minor issues such as some noise coming up from the kitchen during the day , although it was quiet at night even with people at the bar downstairs ( room 9) . The Wi-Fi also isn’t the strongest signal and due to this the smart TV in our room couldn’t access Netflix/ Disney plus etc.

I arrived on a Sunday evening after a long and rainy drive. I hadn't realised that the restaurant finished serving early on a Sunday, and I arrived after it had closed and was both tired and hungry. The lovely Landlady came to my rescue and organised a roast dinner so I didn't go hungry. Later that evening there was pub quiz. I ended up staying for that - again the Landlady suggested I team up with two fellow travellers, a lovely couple from Wales, we won the quiz and donated the prize money to a local dog charity. A totally unexpected and fantastic evening!

Great location - quick to get into Birmingham from, lovely food, decent car park to the rear, lovely atmosphere, clean modern decor. Comfy room. Excellent staff - really accommodating. We did have a slight issue in that they missed my request to separate the beds, but they dealt with that very quickly and (in spite of my assurance it wasn’t necessary) insisted on giving us a little something to compensate. Mistakes will inevitably happen sometimes, but it’s how they’re dealt with that counts - and they couldn’t have done better than they did in my view. Highly recommended!

Very minor issue, but we had to bunk down early as we had to be up very early the next morning and I could hear the men staying in the next room chatting, so I would say the soundproofing in between rooms could be better. Couldn’t hear anything from the pub below though. (Luckily I had earplugs in my bag so it didn’t spoil our lovely stay)

Absolutely everything. The room was lovely, with an en suite bathroom, which had both a shower and a bath. The bed itself was very comfortable and great for a good night's sleep. More electrical sockets than you could poke a stick at, meaning charging devices up was not a problem. The staff were very helpful and we had a few drinks at the bar - it had a very nice atmosphere. We had breakfast in the morning, and it was to die for. They had a good choice, and it was scrumptious. The surrounding village was picturesque, so we took a walk around it in the evening. It's one of the best places I've stayed and will look at here again next time I'm this way day Highly recommended

Nothing

I stayed two nights and my room was very well equipped and appointed. The location is excellent if you want peace and quiet. The breakfast was very good and certainly set me up for the day. Staff were friendly and Theo was very helpful when I had a slight issue with the shower and even offered to carry my bags down when I was leaving. I declined but the offer was much appreciated.

It's an old building and the stairs are quite step if you have mobility issues.

As I arrived at the reception I was greeted in very friendly manner. The room is beautiful and very clean with lovely touch of coffee machine. I found the bed very comfortable and room specious. The service at the reception very friendly and the breakfast in the morning was excellent along with excellent service. We also had dinner in the evening and what also was delicious with excellent service. My stay was great and I felt very welcome. Thank you I will be staying there again and I’ll definitely recommend to my friends and family.

Everything was great.

Warm, cosy and comfortable. The staff were lovely and friendly, making us feel really at home. I arrived much earlier than check in time but, as it was ready, was shown straight to my room. We ate in the restaurant that evening and the food was honestly excellent. I’ll definitely be back

It was bad weather the weekend I stayed so on arrival (which was early) the room felt a little cold. I mentioned it to staff though and they immediately addressed the situation.

I like the atmosphere.. small pub with a building behind where they have additional rooms. This is where i was staying. Very clean and nice staff. Food in the restaurant very nice. Very good breakfast.

It took a long time to check in. I was given room in the building outside..on the ground floor. There was a couple staying above me. The building is old and the floors are extremly squeeky..to the point i caleed the reception requesting the room to be changed.. unfortunetally they were fully booked. The couple was getting up in the night few times and woke me up. If i ever stayed there again..i would request a different room. Apart from that the room itself was lovely.
