Mike & Carolyn Ball B&B

Self contained.

This was an extra day continuation of the time already booked...

The best I've ever stayed at .car was right next to room ,so convenient

It was what i wabted

The room was single - but more spacious than I had envisaged. There was plenty of room for my huge suitcase, and rucksack, a comfy armchair, warm radiators, tv, coffee machine, kettle, hotplate, microwave, dishwasher, fridge with a small freezer. There was also an en suite, with some toiletries and towels provided. The fridge was stocked up with items for breakfast, such as ham, cheese, butter, yogurts, fresh orange juice, fresh milk, and there were also a choice cereals on a shelf in the room, and plenty of coffee capsules and teabags and instant coffee and milk sachets too. I had already done a bit of research and there is a small Asda within walking distance (less than half a mile away) and a bus stop (82) that goes between Dudley, via Bilston, to Wolverhampton and visa versa. I was able to borrow my sister's car for my stay, and there was space for 3 cars on the front, so no on street parking required. There is also a chip shop and Chinese takeaway very close by, again less than half a mile away. I had planned to use all these facilities, but in the end my week panned out quite differently. There was also a good wifi connection. The house felt secure and safe, which was important to me as a lone female traveller. Mike and Carolyn were very warm people, and greeted me on day 1, and then checked on me now and again to see if everything was okay.

Can't think of anything.

Mike & Carolyn were perfect hosts..they were immediately there when I needed them but discreetly invisible at other times. I found the façon of breakfast excellent...food and other requirement in my personal fridge..and topped up each new day..often with new surprises! The total flexibility of this idea was perfect..home from home! I actually changed places within Mike & Carolyn's home during the last 2 days of my stay..a voluntary move..so I had the chance to experience and appreciate both styles of single bedded accomodation. The ground floor is totally self contained and includes an ensuite nice big shower room / toilet...and in the studio style bedroom, a good range of cooking equipment, including a microwave and electric hob and coffee machine and kettle. And felt very private. The "Garden View" suite of rooms!.. was equally agreeable..an individual bedroom with tea making facilities...plus a separate bathroom with full sized bath and over bath power shower (showers in both rooms excellent!)...and the piece de résistance...a large room with solid dining table..fridge with breakfast again..coffee machine / cereals etc etc etc..and a microwave... Thank you Mike & Carolyn you truly deserve the success that you have...a great experience and highly recommended...oh! Great private car parking on house driveway, in a peaceful, upmarket private street ... AND I was provided with a nice, new toothbrush in its wrapper in the bathroom on arrival..first time ever!!

Perhaps the downstairs room lacks some natural ventilation...but Mike kindly trusted me with the "implement" to open the roof light / velux on condition that closed when out in case it rained..and he's absolutely right!

fantastic location quiet. rooms had all needed the hosts were fab went extra mile to welcome you

nothing

Everything you could ever need and more we're available in the room. Cosy, comfortable bed. Lots of little extras that you never get in Hotels were available in the room made it feel very much like a home from home. And the warmest of welcomes
