Why we love it
The setting
This hotel is on Birmingham Road in Great Barre, about 9 km from the city centre. It is close to the Barr Beacon Local Nature Reserve. It is not so much a place to enjoy nightlife as it is a convenient hotel serving as a base for exploring the Black Country region. Thanks to its proximity to Exit 7 of the M6, the hotel is easily accessible by car, and the surrounding area has a peaceful suburban atmosphere. On evenings when you don’t feel like going out, you can enjoy the hotel’s restaurant and bar.
What to expect
This is a simple and unpretentious 3-star hotel with just 33 rooms spread over two floors. The double rooms are equipped with comfortable beds, blackout curtains, a shower with good water pressure, a TV, and tea- and coffee-making facilities. Free Wi-Fi is available throughout the hotel. If you register your car at the front desk, you can use the on-site parking for free.
Things to do nearby
Barr Beacon Local Nature Reserve is right nearby and is perfect for getting some exercise. Victoria Square in central Birmingham, Town Hall—a Grade I listed building—and the Symphony Hall, where you can enjoy classical music concerts, are all just a few minutes’ drive away. In addition, the Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery, the Black Country Living Museum, Villa Park Stadium, and the Walsall Arboretum are all just a short drive away.
Best for
The perfect spot for couples looking to spend a quiet evening not far from Birmingham without overpaying for a central hotel. It’s also ideal for drivers coming via the M6, soccer fans heading to Villa Park, and anyone looking to combine a day trip to the Black Country with an evening on the town. Families are always welcome, too.
How to get to the hotel
It takes about 30 minutes by car from Birmingham Airport via the M6. Since the hotel is at Exit 7 of the M6, the easiest way to get here is by car. From Birmingham New Street Station, it takes about 25 minutes by taxi or bus toward Great Barr. If you register your car at the front desk, you can use the hotel’s parking spaces free of charge.

Your 2 days, loosely planned
Suggestions, not orders. Tour ideas to mix and match for your trip.
Barr Beacon air and a Black Country afternoon
To start, take a stroll through the nearby Barr Beacon Local Nature Reserve and enjoy the view of the Black Country. Then head to the Black Country Living Museum and spend about two hours strolling through the recreated streets and workshops. Once you return to the hotel and take a shower, you can have lunch at the on-site restaurant or go out for a walk and try some local cuisine. If you haven’t already, please register your car at the front desk.
Birmingham city centre and a Town Hall detour
Take the 20-minute drive into the city and park up near Victoria Square. Look up at the Corinthian columns of the Town Hall and check what's on at Symphony Hall for the evening. Spend a slow hour or two in the Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery, stop for lunch at a café nearby, then wander back via the Birmingham City Centre Walk before driving out to Great Barr.

FAQ
Can children stay at the hotel?
Yes, this hotel is suitable for guests travelling with children, and the hotel has family rooms.
Is there parking on site?
Yes, there are free parking spaces on the hotel grounds. Please register your vehicle at the front desk when you check in. This will ensure that your parking time is tracked for the duration of your stay.
What's the best time of year to visit?
Late September, matching this booking, is a good window: mild days, autumn colour starting on the walks around Barr Beacon, and fewer crowds at the Birmingham museums. Pack a light waterproof for the British weather and you'll be set.
What is there to do on site besides sleeping?
The hotel has a restaurant and a bar where you can spend the evening, and those who prefer to spend a quiet evening watching a movie on TV can take advantage of the free Wi-Fi in their room. Since this is more of a small 3-star hotel with 33 rooms than a resort, most entertainment takes place outside the hotel.
How far is the hotel from central Birmingham?
The centre of Birmingham is about 9 km away, and if you avoid rush hour, you can drive to Victoria Square in about 20 minutes. Villa Park and Walsall Arboretum are also nearby, and you can easily reach any part of the Black Country via Exit 7 off the M6.
