The staff and management were incredibly helpful and welcoming, the room was clean, had everything I needed and was presented well. The bar and restaurant were also very well presented with a good selection of drinks and food options. The food was very good and surprisingly well priced considering the quality of obviously fresh ingredients but yet caters for all age groups and dietaries. The building and grounds are beautiful and well kept, giving a sense of special occasion, setting the tone of a relaxing break rather than just a place to stay. I booked this hotel while on a business trip and I couldn’t recommend it more. Will be back again for sure.

Lovely grounds and room. Fridge had a rotten smell when we arrived. The outside entry grounds was untidy with rubbish and cigarette butts but the worst that greeted us was seeing a durex packet right at the front garden. We advised the staff about it but it remained there for the whole time we where there.

Ok hotel, poor customer service

We stayed here for a wedding at the hotel and overall the experience was a mixed bag.
The positives were a very friendly receptionist checking us in, pretty comfortable bed and the breakfast was quite tasty.
The negatives were an uncomfortably warm room with no fan/AC. Bathroom was a bit small. For some reason they pipe awful Muzak around the grounds and corridors of the hotel all day and most of the night. There’s no residents bar but the bar staff didn’t tell us this when they sold us an array of drinks at just before 12, we were then told to vacate the place at dead on 12. The wedding coordinator was pretty obnoxious. We paid for late check out but nobody thought to tell housekeeping, who twice came into our room before check out time.
We’re highly unlikely to ever stay here again

It was okay

We were initially given a room directly above the pub, which was extremely noisy. I had to request a room change, and to their credit, we were moved to an accessible room. While the new room was quieter, it did have several issues.

The main light in the room didn’t stay on properly, and the accessible bathroom was potentially hazardous — the shower flooring was incredibly slippery and not up to standard. This poses a serious risk, especially for those with mobility issues, and needs urgent attention before someone gets hurt.

Although there was a kettle and mugs in the room, there was no tea, coffee, or milk provided. A small but noticeable oversight.

Breakfast was another area of concern. It’s served from 8:30am, which is quite late, and when I politely asked if it was possible to order slightly earlier, one staff member was quite rude. Thankfully, another team member stepped in and kindly took our order. The food itself was fairly standard — nothing exceptional.

Overall, the stay had some redeeming aspects, but the room safety concerns and customer service left a lot to be desired.

We have stayed at the Limes 3 times over the last 18 months for a week at a time. The Owner (Dave) and his son (Dan) are fabulous people. We also joined the Limes for the New Years Eve party. It was such fun to see families with little ones enjoying the celebrations. Many activities for all. As with most UK hotels there is a kettle, cups, tea and milk on the ready. There is a warm and welcoming family atomosphere at the Limes!

Friendly helpful staff, adequate parking and a well stocked bar were probably the best features for us. The price of the stay was reasonable so this needs to be taken into account when reading the comments below:

Some of the rooms are rather gloomy. After initially being accommodated in a room with no windows and only two grubby skylights, we were moved to the \"accessible\" room. Seriously, I fear for people with disabilities hoping to stay there. The heating control was almost impossible to reach. Although the bathroom is large and classed as a wet room, there was little practical space for our toiletries other than the floor! The worst thing was the hand basin. Naturally it was located in a low position, but the flow of water was impossible to control, particularly when trying to change the temperature. Water sprayed everywhere! And there was no plug in that basin so could not just fill it and then use the water to wash with.

Poor access to the room with inadequate lighting outside- again bad for a disabled person.

Small niggles that are not accounted for by the reasonable price:
- some light bulbs needed to be replaced but weren't - even though we asked twice.
- the TV channels were hopelessly out of date and of course could not be updated through the usual menu.

One aspect we would congratulate David and his staff on was the special 40s night which included a very competent and talented female singing duo and the food although simple, was at least nice and hot.

Very average

Nice staff bur slow service. It was football evening and a lot of staff working but the service was really slow. Nearly an our to wait for dinner. Confusion over where you sit determines whether you go to the bar or table service for food. Room very hot and no fans provided although asked. Check out was unfriendly - breakfast waitress was doing reception and the serving so not able to provide good service and meant nobody to mention issues to. Lads outside at 11pm kicking a football around and shouting. Seems to be no awareness that they do have business clientele in who are up early the next day. Not able to contact reception although tried to inform them if the noise and to move them on. Very frustrating and an uncomfortable night. I wouldn’t recommend.

An unfortunately poor stay

First impressions at entering the room were seeing a stained decorative cushion on the bed and finding dust everywhere (on the fridge, bedside lamp, window sill etc). Also drinks rings had been left on the bedside table maybe from a previous guest? So no attention to cleanliness in parts although bathroom and bedding were thankfully clean.
There was no mention in booking that the room would be over the hotel bar where a function was being held, so no sleep was had until midnight when the extremely loud music finished.
Definitely not a Peaceful And Relaxing Experience as advertised on the their website. Unfortunately a very poor stay.

The property is in a quiet rural spot, convenient for Birmingham, Solihull, Redditch, the M42, etc. I am not aware of any public transport links to the hotel, though, other than taxi. Rooms are to a good standard, although some aspects of the bathrooms could be freshened up (e.g. shower grouting). The restaurant and bar offer a limited menu, but with healthier and more ‘home cooked’ options than chain “lodge” and “inn” alternatives nearby. Overall, very good value

We are visiting family who live down the lane. When we first arrived they had us in a room above the entrance. Since it was warm we kept the windows open but unfortunately could hear people as the exited the building. The owner allowed us to move to a quiet room. The owner,Dave, is wonderful. Allowed us an early check in. Dave is also the chef and did a stellar English breakfast!

Overall a nice stay.

Had a 1 night stop over as working in the area. The hotel looks a little like it needs a tidy outside and in the room corridors but inside the room it was clean well decorated and spacious. The shower was very good and the bathroom was clean. I had an evening meal and drink, drinks were a little pricey and the chilli con carne I had could have done with a bit more spice to it but overall the food was good. Sleep quality was comfortable, to the degree that I slept too long to get a breakfast as had to get away in a rush. All staff seemed friendly enough. Would definitely use again if working in the area.

1 night business stay

Friendly, very welcoming, helpful staff. Good selection of bar food for an evening meal. Good full cooked breakfast. Bed a little soft, but then others will think ok. No phone reception indoors (for O2 anyway) so made calls outside. Good internet connection though.

One of the reasons we chose this particular hotel was due to the fact it's a 'Family Run' Hotel. We are so pleased we made this decision as were treated so well. We booked a B&B stay. Our room was lovely and the breakfast was so good. We also chose to have dinner/drinks on both nights of our stay and again, we are so pleased we made this decision as again, the food was lovely and the staff were so friendly, polite and helpful. Would I go back to this hotel and would I recommend it... Absolutely yes, on both counts.

Overall good stay , great staff but three issues t

Over-all a good stay and super staff however 3 big issues.
1) we took a call about our booking telling us a wedding was on but would finish music at 11pm. This didn’t happen until 12.10. Bad news when we have 200 miles to drive.
Room far too hot….fridge in room with 6 single portions of milk on all night pumping out heat. What a waste of energy multiplied across every room x 365 nights per year.
Glass wash in bar is faulty and needs servicing / replacing or more rinse aid. Busy night and staff stressed so I didn’t raise the issue but every pint glass we saw used was stained. Many people think this is water stain…it’s not…water doesn’t stain but does leave deposit on glass if not clean.

Limes mid week stay

A comfortable hotel set in lovely grounds. A warm welcome by friendly , helpful staff. The rooms are clean and comfortable, the decor is a little tired in places. The Wi-Fi is patchy at times.

The food is ok and the bar has a good selection of reasonably price beers and wines.

A very pleasant stay - thanks.

Lovely stay, would definitely stay again

The Limes is in perfect commuting distance of the NEC where my business conference was. The restaurant was clean and reasonably priced, the service was excellent and the food was delicious and freshly prepared.
My room (10) was lovely, the bed was super comfortable and as a whole was an absolute bargain for the price and location. My only drawback which I fed back to the reception on check out was the size of the towels to dry yourself on (they're tiny!), but plenty were freshly laid out every day after room service. The fridge in the room is a lovely touch. I also wasn't sure how to order room service as it wasn't made clear to me at the desk or in the book provided in the room , however I was glad as it meant I went to the restaurant and experienced this.

Lovely stay

Lovely hotel in lovely grounds. Friendly staff. Comfortable room. Excellent breakfast. Reasonably priced evening meal.
Cons: Minor issues i.e. stocks of milk / biscuits / bath mat / toilet paper was not replenished for 2nd day. Spare ribs were a little dry and tough, but we didn't want wait for a replacement so didn't mention it at the time.
However we would certainly book again if in the area, particularly in the summer.

The staff were really lovely, especially the lady running the breakfast service, who was amazing.
However, my room ( number 4) was very shabby. really dirty behind the table housing the kettle. tea and coffee.
Bedroom walls all in need of some filler and paint, whilst he shower cubicle was the most claustrophobic I have ever been in. I'm only 5'8 and someone bigger/taller wouldn't have got in!

Hotel that is just not interested in the guests

I travel a lot and can overlook many issues when staying at hotels, however I stayed here for 3 nights. The last night they had a party down stairs under my room and the music did not stop until midnight and I had to be up early the following morning the peek volume was 80 DB and I called the hotel the following morning to discuss as I had to leave very early and reception just said they would get a manager to call me back and then hung up without taking my number. Clearly they don’t care about any guests ! Very poor indeed!
