Barncroft is like a home from home. Its a lovely clean and homely B & B in beautiful grounds with room for parking. The breakfast is excellent, the best I have had and is cooked freshly by Vicky. Nothing is too much trouble. I stayed to attend a conference at the NCC and this was my second time staying here. I will be bringing my family in the future for a break away. The local countryside is beautiful with some really old properties nearby that I would like to look the history up on.

Bancroft Hotel was a lovely place to stay, the bed was comfortable. The room was beautifully decorated to clean and tidy and had all the amenities you could think of available. Vikki was always on hand to help and pleasant to deal with. I stay two nights while attending a conference at the NEC Birmingham and cannot recommend enough the the short journey time but distance it gave me from the event.

People leave a 1 star or 5 star review for everything these days, so I see ratings like this and think “yeah, right”. Well, this time it was right… virtually flawless from start to finish.

Plenty of spacious parking spaces. My host found the rate balance between friendly and not overly familiar. I was arriving late so I was sensibly put by the front door, presumably to not disturb other guests.

The room was immaculate. I’ve stayed in some of the leading hotels of the world and Barncroft was as clean as any of them. Well appointed doesn’t cover it - they had every mortal thing in that room. Hot chocolate, bottled water, fridge with fresh milk, fruit cordial, Borders biscuits, 2 hair dryers, 2 first aid kits, 2 fans, a sewing kit, USB charging cube, individual body wash, hair shampoo and bar of soap (none of those wall dispensers refilled with lord knows what), heated illuminated bathroom mirror, heated towel rail, 4 fluffy towels, a bath AND separate shower cubicle (which had a rain head and a shower head on a hose).

TV featured Netflix and Prime (to use your own account), YouTube, and Apple AirPlay streaming from your phone or iPad.

Breakfast was flawless. Yoghurts (inc vegan), fruit juice, cereal (inc 3 GF), fresh berries, fruit, pre-packed baked goods.

Quality sausage and bacon on the full English, perfectly poached eggs and great granary toast.

Curtains could be more opaque and I dislike fragranced rooms.

Overall, Barncroft is in the top 0.1% of guesthouses.

We didn't have breakfast as my son was attending a fitness event at the NEC and had to leave early but we asked if a toaster could be provided, which it was. Super helpful. Lovely welcome. Plenty of parking. Directions spot on. Very close to NEC and Birmingham Airport. Lovely clean room with everything you need in there. Would definitely use again if we were flying from the airport or attending an event. Felt secluded, quiet and relaxing, yet so close to everything. Thank you again.

What a diamond of accommodation this was. Wonderful directions provided ahead of arrival to find the property easily enough. Ample parking provided close to the entrance. Warmly greeted by Vicky who runs it with her husband, Mark. Shown to my room which I was very impressed with. For extra space as a solo traveller, I booked the family room for only £90. Their were 3 double beds with 2 in an adjoining room that you could partition with a curtain. The bathroom was decorated to a high standard with a very soothing shower at the end of a long day. I was given a suggestion for a nearby walk which worked out great and a local Greene King pub was only 10 minutes walk away and provided a great meal with wonderful service. I had a great night's sleep and breakfast in the morning was cooked to perfection. All in all, there was nothing I could find fault with hence my 5 star rating. Would love to stay there again.

Breakfast was wonderful especially the Barncroft special. There was a wide selection of cereals, yoghurts and delicious fresh raspberries and strawberries.

Set up for the day we went to the NEC, which is only a five minute drive away.

Excellent!

We stayed in Barncroft Luxury Guest House for a single night so that we could go to the NEC the next day. I had to get in touch with the owner since we would be arriving late. She always got in touch with me promptly and was extremely helpful, nothing was ever a problem for Vicky. When we arrived she was there to greet us and was lovely and friendly. Our room was delightful, zebra themed which my daughter loved. We both had a very comfortable double bed and had an excellent night of sleep. The range of food on offer for breakfast was fantastic and once again Vicky, and her husband, were extremely friendly and helpful. Barncroft is an 8 minute drive to the NEC. I couldn't recommend this place highly enough especially if you are at an event at the NEC. We'll definitely be back in the future.

Fantastic Guesthouse!

We travel around the country for my son’s Taekwondo competitions and found this gem of a guesthouse, situated only 20mins away from Coventry, where the World Championships were taking place.

Received a lovely warm welcome from Vicky. Fab room, nice and spacious, clean and beautifully decorated. We had the family room, which consisted of a separate area with a king bed and its own TV and fan, which was quickly nabbed by my son! Cheeky!

Larger area with another couple of double beds and 2nd TV. Lots of space to store clothes and also comes with a fridge with milk.

Bed was amazing! Probably the most comfortable bed I’ve ever had the pleasure of sleeping on whilst staying away. If I could have taken it home with me, I would have! 😀

Breakfast was cooked to order and absolutely delicious. Full English on the first morning and then tried the Bancroft special on our second morning (cheese on toast with mushrooms and a poached egg) which I highly recommend!

We will be back in the area in a few months time and have already booked to stay again!

Victoria is so friendly and runs a great establishment. If you’re going to be staying in the area then I advise you to make a reservation at the Barncroft. You won’t regret it!

Fantastic Stay

Just amazing from the moment you pull off the road and onto the Properties ground, everything is immaculate and it feels really welcoming. The host is just a wonderful as the property and she was very friendly and knowledgeable about the surrounding area and advised where to I could get an evening meal from. The rooms are spacious and they seem to have thought about everything you may need and are adhering to COVID regulations (there is hand sanitizer by most major touch points) I travel for work and spend on average 1 night a week away from home and this is the best nights sleep I have gotten whilst away. The only downside is that you do seem to need a car or a taxi to go out to anywhere. I would definitely stay here again.

Vicky was so accommodating and sorted out our transport to the Arena. She was like a mother making sure we arrived back at the accommodation safely as we had never visited the area. Great room and having a nice big breakfast before hitting the road was great. The breakfast room is crammed full of breakfast items and the cooked breakfast was great.
