- Elaine (8/5): Albany house lovely host - Lovely host.Very clean.Shower cubicle was on the small side.We managed to find a parking space but I imagine it could prove a problem. Our main concern was that the central heating was still on making the room very warm Central heating being on when it was 19 degrees outside. q

- grant (9/5): Very warm & welcoming in a great location - The property is in a great location in a quiet street but close to all the cafes & restaurants on High street. Chrissy cooks the most amazing breakfast Very small shower
- Elliot (10/5): Super comfortable stay with great breakfast! - They were super flexible, allowing an early check in so we could get changed ahead of attending a wedding.

- Charlotte (9/5): - Chrissi ist eine lustige und wundervolle Gastgeberin! Sie macht sehr leckeres Frühstück und bespricht mit dir deine Wunschzeit zum essen. Das Zimmer war sauber und das Bett war ein Träumchen. Sehr bequem.
Die Lage mochte ich persönlich sehr! Es ist ruhig, idyllisch und trotzdem hat man alles was man braucht um die Ecke: ein Supermarkt, ein tolles Café, Restaurants, die Bushaltestelle (ca. 25 Minuten nach Birmingham New Street). Das Winterbourne House ist fußläufig gut erreichbar (ca 1 Stunde durch die Siedlungen), was ich sehr empfehle.
Sehr gerne komme ich wieder!
- Diogenes (10/5): The best comfortable, convenient accommodation in Birmingham (Harborne) - Very comfortable, convenient, location, cleanness and homely atmosphere, everything seems perfect. Breakfast is very good. Moreover, very peaceful atmosphere. Money worth accommodation. There was nothing that I did not like about the accommodation. Very professionally managed. Never seen any better accommodation than this one.
- John (9/5): A delightful, peaceful spot, yet just a stone’s throw from everything. - Beautifully presented and full of character. Lots of lovely touches everywhere. Christie kindly brought fresh milk to our room so we could enjoy a cup of tea after a long drive. The breakfast was delicious, thank you so much!
- grant (9/5): A lovely property in a great location - Wonderful host and fabulous breakfast Very small shower
- Diogenes (10/5): Comfortable and very convenient stay. - Did not have breakfast. Stay was very comfortable. Location very convenient. Clean and tidy. Quiet and peaceful. Will be going again on 4/4/2026. Booking is already done. There was nothing that I did not like. It was family atmosphere. Never had a better accommodation before. Rate is also quite reasonable.
- Lara (10/5): Lovely place, very comfortable and great location. - Very comfortable beds.
- Philip (10/5): Chrisy makes this a home from home. - Friendly, clean, attention to detail
- Anthea (9/5): Well cared for. - Friendly Nothing
- Mandy (10/5): Great host wonderful breakfast - The bed was very comfortable , tea coffee facilities in bedroom were great with hot chocolate and some lovely cupcakes as a treat, plenty of toiletries and towels in the bathroom Parking was a bit difficult
- Mike (9/5): Friendly and convenient - Location
Friendliness of Chrissie
- Becky (10/5): - Great location, lovely welcome, fantastic room. Very comfortable, had everything we need and some lovely extra touches. Breakfast was delicious, all cooked fresh and really tasty. Incredible value for money and a really lovely stay. Thank you x Nothing
- Ekaterina (10/5): A welcoming place that made us feel comfortable after a travel and prepared us for the following day - We really appreciated Chrissie's friendly style. She also serves an amazing breakfast! The room and bathroom were very clean and had homely and welcoming features. We really enjoyed our stay and didn't have any issues or complaints.
- faye Jar F. (10/5): Would be back again - Really amazing hostess with prompt responses and hospitality. The room was cosy and clean. Welcome cupcakes in our room but as we checked in quite late and checked out early, we didn't have the chance to try them. Amazing breakfast. Parking would be rather difficult on the street. We checked in around 8pm on Thursday night and it took us 15 mins to find parking.
- Steve (9/5): Great thanks - Very friendly and great location N/A
- Vikki (1/5): Dud parking grim looking area - Didn't get the chance to find out When we arrived which was a bit early we could not find a parking space anywhere at all and we drove around for nearly an hour so I rang the host who just said "what do you expect it's Saturday and people are shopping you maybe able to get somewhere a few streets away , I've lived here 35 years it's how it is." According to site it's free parking with no restrictions what they dont add is if you can park anywhere near the property 😉 so effectively if you plan to use as base to visit places of interest dont count on finding a space when you get back. After an hour of further trying to find anywhere to park to at least have a coffee with no luck we gave up and drove home. As such we cannot comment on property .
- Rima (9/5): Welcoming and homely - I had a wonderful stay at Albany House. Welcoming, homely. Tastefully decorated. Great breakfast (and lots of it!) and a wonderful chat with the hostess. Easy to park for free on the road outside. I will be back! Nothing

I am looking forward to my next visit and will definitely be booking again.

- Amber (10/5): Amazing, you have everything you need. Really great value for money, would love to stay longer. The lady who owns it is - The property is a really lovely Victorian home so it has a lot of history and is well taken care of by the owner. The decor is amazing and gives a real luxurious feel to it even if you are travelling for work or just staying for the one night, it still feels like a treat! Nothing not to like. Of course there is no on site parking but there’s plenty of on street parking in a safe residential street.
- Lisa (8/5): Comfortable place to stay and good location - Lovely host, very friendly and relaxed. Our room was very comfortable with everything we needed. Lots of toiletries to choose from in the bathroom and nice soft towels. Breakfast was plentiful and very nice, with fresh orange juice, fruit and yoghurt, toast, and cooked breakfast of potato cake, sausage, tomato and mushrooms. Great location for access to places to eat in Harborne. Just could've done with more electric sockets in the room
- Robert (10/5): - Proximity to bars and restaurants

My room was like home from home, beautiful decor and with treats and tea/coffee making facilities. I was even treated to a cup of tea on arrival.
The bed was very comfy with luxury bedding and fresh, high quality towels for the morning. It was peaceful and quiet and I had a great sleep fresh for my work induction the next day.
In addition breakfast was fabulous, with a special little desert course to follow. I felt spoilt. The only thing I disliked about my stay was that it wasn't long enough!
- Christiane (9/5): Gerne jederzeit wieder ! - Eine freundliche, aufgeschlossene und engagierte Gastgeberin, die jeden Morgen ein phantastisches Frühstück zauberte und somit für einen guten Start in den Tag sorgte. Gut gelegene und gemütliche Unterkunft. Das Bett dürfte etwas weniger weich sein....
