Great pub inn.

This is a super pub inn in a small village not too far from the M42 and Solihull. Excellent service, good breakfast and a clean, comfortable room. I would definitely recommend a stay here. They also serve food in the evening.

Lovely pub with rooms, staff always welcome, pub grub great, perfect stop for travelling to Birmingham Airport only 4.5 miles away. Second visit this time we were in one of the garden rooms (9) it was quite small, nowhere to sit other than on the bed, nothing can be done to change that but worth a mention, last time we stayed we were in the pub, room slightly bigger, the other thing that could be a small fix, bottle of water in the room as the kettle doesn’t fit under the tap, would improve comfort. Overall good stay.

One night stay to visit NEC

We had a really pleasant stay despite the persistent rain. The evening meals were both tasty and good value. Decent selection of ales and spirits. We stayed in one of the bungalows which met all our needs

Friendly environment.

We had a room outside the actual pub, so it was very quiet and enjoyable. The staff are naturally happy and friendly, that's what comes from a family run business. Will be staying there again the next time we need to go to the NEC, which is only a few minutes drive away.

I would definitely stay here again. It was a welcome retreat situated in a pretty village location. I was staying overnight on my own and didn't want to stay in one of the busy large chain hotels. The staff were helpful and friendly, and the pub was typically traditional. My only grumble was the walls were very thin, i had someone staying in the room above, and you could hear every footstep.

Great place to stay. Friendly and quaint

A friend recommended the White Lion to us as a great place to stay that was handy for the NEC. We enjoy real ale and they served a number of different ales - we tried 2 and they were both excellent and obviously well kept. We ate very well too. We loved the character of the place, from mismatched chairs to pretty china. The staircase to the bedrooms is very steep and our bedroom had a step down into the bathroom. It was warm and cosy and we had lovely big bath towels. We loved our stay and would be very happy to stay here again.

The property offers a high standard of basic accommodation. The food was great - a good selection of food and drink - and the service excellent. Not so good was the staircase leading up to the rooms, which was steep, winding and with narrow steps. I appreciate this is a period property and it worked for me; however, those with mobility issues may struggle even with staff assistance. On my visit, the internet was not operational and had not been for several days. It would have been helpful to know this in advance, so I could have prepared to accommodate or, even better, a connection voucher provided by the Inn. This inconvenienced me, yet the Inn offered no compensation for this.

Tiny insecure room in an outhouse

Pleasant pub with good pub food, but my room was a great disappointment. It was not in the pub but was in a single-storey outhouse the other side of the beer garden.My room was so tiny the bed only fitted in with about 2 feet around it. The "bathroom" was just a loo, a tiny basin barely big enough to wash your hands, and a squashed shower cubicle which disdpensed only luke-warm water. I had to keep my toothbrush and razor on the floor. It was insecure - a footpath, accessible from the car park, ran past the small window, which had only a broken lock, so I had to sleep with the window closed - and while it might have been acceptable as a Eastern European truckstop or an army barracks, for £108 it was a joke.
