Do not book

The place needs an update. It was dirty and unkempt. There were wet stains on the ceiling and I was served mouldy bread at breakfast. I left after 2 of my 4 nights and they would not grant a refund. Stay clear, do not book.

We were made very welcome throughout the stay. The room was spacious and warm, adjustable heating. The beds were very comfortable, with spotless bedding and towels. There was plenty of hot water. The food was tasty and well presented, with multi choices.
All in all an excellent place to stay, Solihull a surprising shopping destination. My friend even managed to get her booster jab at the walk in centre. A very enjoyable stay, thank you.

Well-located b&b

Good location for access into Solihull and easy route to/from M42. Room 3 (twin) spacious and good sized beds. Tea/coffee facilities- with fresh milk on arrival. Windows probably not optimally double glazed but traffic noise from A34 at 100yds away dropped considerably during the night. Good access to major chain restaurants within easy walking distance.
Breakfast apparently from 7...probably more an aspiration on the morning I was there.
Overall good value for the money.

Warm Welcome and comfortable stay

Bernard and Maribelle are great hosts. They welcomed me with a drink of choice (the ale was good!) and were very welcoming. Room was comfortable and more space and independence than you'd normally find in an AirBnB for example, with all the amenities you'd expect from a hotel including fridge in the room and a good supply of bottled water, biscuits and coffee, The breakfast was great - I couldn't resist the cooked breakfast each morning. They even offered (at extra cost) a sandwich making service so I wouldn't have to waste time away from my stand at the NEC.
Friendly and with a very dosile and affectionate dog.

The lodge was a lovely and comfortable place to stay. The owners were attentative and helpful and our room was just what we were looking for. We stayed in the En Suite room and it had everything we needed. Breakfast was absolutely wonderful and we really enjoyed it. They also have a beautiful friendly family dog! All in all this was one of the nicest bed and breakfasts we have experienced! And the owners deserve lots of praise!

Owners Bernard and Maribelle were gems. Food was always great and they were very helpful with taxis and recommendations on sites to visit . The Home is a bit creaky and walls can be thin, but the B&B is very well located and ideal if you want more of a family atmosphere . Great place to stay if you're traveling alone .

Well priced and great value

The owners were very friendly and made us feel very welcome. The breakfast was excellent with a good choice. Rooms were clean and spacious and very warm as it was freezing when we visited. It was also in a very quiet location but only 3 minutes drive from the motorway which was great as we were visiting the NEC only 8 miles away. The Dog was fabulous and so friendly. We will definitely stay here again. Well worth the money.

Homely place in a very convenient location.

Lovely couple who run it, very friendly and a great cooked to order breakfast. Great check in/check out times. Had a bit of a problem with check in however because we got to the place it was a locked door with nobody at home! We eventually managed to contact the owner though who had been unexpectedly delayed on the motorway and had been unable to get a mobile phone signal. They were home shortly after and obviously very apologetic. Good for dog lovers!

Cosy particular home, warm and welcoming

Very nice house in a lovely residential area, with well-tended gardens and nice atmosphere. Breakfast is made to order by the really nice and helpful landlady herself. There's also Mindy, a cheery dog. Well-appointed and comfortable, like staying at a friend's place.

Pros:
* Homely atmosphere
* Affordable
* Comfortable rooms

Cons:
* Far away from everywhere, not convenient if you don't have a car or can't afford a taxi to go anywhere.
* Bed is creaky, floors are creaky, can be hard to sleep at times. Bring earplugs or be patient.

super value for money

We chose the Hay Lane Lodge cause we were attending the spring fair at nec. The b&b was very clean and warm set in a desirable residential area. The hosts were very friendly and welcoming a real homely feel. En suite shower room was spotless. The commute to nec was easy and quick. The full English breakfast was delicious. The only small down side is we did not have mixer tape nor a detachable shower head. However over all it's excellent value for money. Would definately use it again.
