Hi,

Let's get straight to the point. I was grateful for the location as I had a party to attend. Upon arrival we walked up to see this was a pub and a lively one at that.

This is a place you stay if you just need a room for the night like we did. This is not a place to do your holiday. Bar tender was also the check in host - very nice man - and did his best because the pub was busy. Walked in our room - carpet is old old old - beds lumpy and our TV was off the wall and laying on one of the bed's. We were also told no breakfast would be available but that places could be recommended. Also there was a small store in close walking distance to The Liberal House.

This placed served its purpose and that's all I would recommend it for.

Room was clean and bed comfortable. Staff OK. Breakfast was good. Free on-site parking available. The hotel is a pub and had an event planned from 6-9pm on the day of my arrival, which made parking less accessible and resulted in loud music during this period. The event ended at 9pm and the rest of the evening was quiet.

Lovely little pub, friendly staff and locals and a good vibe. The cups in the room for brews were dirty and the shower was weak but for less than a hundred quid it was fine. The chefs never turned up for work so the food was made by the landlady which was nice of her. If we're in Tamworth again, we'll definitely consider staying here again

I've never stayed in such a dirty uncared for place. I found hairs, sweet wrappers, LOTS of dust, just generally unpleasant vibes. Also very thin walls, so could hear everything from other rooms. There was also no soap of any description in the bathroom. I had to sacrifice some of my face wash just to have clean hands. And to top it off, as I was leaving, 2 police were exiting down the stairs in front of me and went on to examine the tables outside. Who knows what had happened, but I've never seen anything of the like at any other hotel/inn/hostel.

Parking easy

Check-in frustrating. Lady repeatedly asked for ID even though I only had bank cards on me and had not been asked to bring anything else.

Room clean enough. Basic but expected this at price mark.

Small heater in room was off on our arrival so room was cold. Unclear how to use heater so room remained cold. Assume on a timer.

WiFi password displayed did not work so used data instead

Beds ok.

Busy pub but on our particular stay consisted of all men- locals, construction site workers and poker group. Fine for some potential future stayers but not ideal for mum and teen girl. Not really family establishment on first impression.

Food was fine though got charged full price for children meal (when advertised as £1 with adult main meal) and asked for chips but got mash. After check in issue I didn’t mention it at time as just wanted to retire to room.

Overall fine for single/male groups looking for a very budget stay. Didn’t suit us on a family trip. Just uncomfortable all around.

Very basic standard of furnishings' etc., which was reflected in the budget price.
Management was very helpful in organising a refund from Expedia, as I had inadvertently paid twice... once online and once on arrival.. not sure where the fault lay, but all sorted with minimal pain...!!

The staff member had check-in was very friendly, the room was extremely simple but clean. The bathroom could use some hooks and shelves as there’s nowhere around the sink or in the shower to put anything. Nowhere to store towels or hang clothes.
We stayed in the room furthest away from the bar. I didn’t hear any noise while we slept.
If the end is not serving any food in the evening, there is a good restaurant next-door plus a Tesco the next-door down. The rest of the area is quiet residential.

Staff were friendly especially the ladies at breakfast time. The room, bedding and bathroom was clean though I found the room and building in general to have various smells which gave me the feeling of slight discomfort - only slight.
Parking was great. Location worked very well for our weekend. The Tesco next door was a life saver.

The room that I booked stunk of urine that could be smelt before I entered the room. When I did enter the room the smell made me gag, there was no way I was going to get any sleep. There were two small single beds in the room. When I reported the issue the staff member on shift was brilliant, she phoned the manager who offered me food and another room as compensation. The member of staff did forewarn me that in the other room there was an issue with the blind and that it was due to be replaced. It turned out that the blind was covered in mould caused by damp which caused the room to smell. I declined the offer of the new room, was refunded in full and opted to stay at in a room at a popular hotel chain.

Twin room at The Liberal House

Hired a twin room for the night whilst staying with my daughter after a previous bad experience at a different hotel. The room was clean, the TV worked and the pressure in the shower was nice to me. Stopped for a beer in the pub (noise from which was not heard in the room) and the ladies working were polite and helpful. I felt I received good value for money, I would happily return and would be glad to recommend to others

Different

We arrived late and the staff were really helpful on the phone of how to get into our room however when we got in it was horrendous
The blind was broken so there was nothing up the window.
The radiator was hanging off the wall,
No tv remote,
There were two pillows on the double bed that were so flat we may as well of had a piece of paper under our heads,
The glass shower doors were both broken and hanging off so both doors only hanging on by 2 little wheels luckily we survived the night and had a laugh about it all but on a serious note if we would of brought our little one this would of been dangerous

Drunken power drinkers staggering around with one sitting between park cars with a duet in a black bin liner.

Checking in was vey easy and the General Manager (Laura) made us most welcome. Our room was ready, clean and comfortable. We stayed Friday and Saturday night ......the bar was quite busy but the large car park had plenty of spaces. Breakfast was available from about 8.30 until 1100 and was most enjoyable. For those who like music there is a live singer to entertain you on Saturday evenings and you can entertain customers with Sunday karaoke. Facilities include free wi-fi and a pool table. A good value hotel which is not far from Tamworth. Would have no hesitation in staying there again.
