Guest Reviews

• Dennis (8/5): - Value for money
• Verified traveler (4/5): Bizarre visit - The place was damp and very tired We were unsuccessfully in putting the shower on however when I tried the bedside light came on. Just after 5 this morning 3 of the neighbours had showers. The noise was the sound woke us .
• Christopher (2/5): - Don’t rely on the drop off and pick up service for a small fee which is allegedly provided upon request!!! Because they don’t answer the phone and it looks like a derelict compound the place you reside!! 1/10 👎
• John (4/5): - Supposed to be b & b no breakfast available area around premises dirty and tired
• catherina (2/5): The most terrifying accommodation - This property can not be advertised on hotels.com. on arrival the owner was busy cleaning the room and making the beds. The place is in a terrible condition and very neglected. Hotel . com needs to review this property urgently. The photos on hotels.com is so different in reality.
• Anthony (8/5): Good value accommodation - Beds were clean and it’s good value for a no frills couple of days.
• Philip (10/5): - I know what to expect so wasn't disappointed.
• John (8/5): Very cheap but perfectly ok - This was amazingly cheap. So don’t expect miracles - the rooms are in a low-rise hut. But there’s everything you need including a perfectly comfy bed, a private shower with hot water and an excellent TV. Parking is free and under the trees. I’ll stay again.
• Steve (2/5): Worst hotel ever. - There was no WiFi, and mobile signal was very weak in the area. The room had a strong stench of methane, was contaminated with animal hair, and was covered in cobwebs throughout.
• Katie (10/5): - Beautiful night away, thanks!
• Brian (6/5): - Not the superior double it was described as. Let me say first that the host was very welcoming. When I arrived, the room wasn't ready. The carpet was wet, having been vaxed due to something being spilt by a previous tenant. I was underwhelmed, to be honest. Although the room had a smart TV, a fridge, and a microwave, it felt cold and damp and was full of creepy-crawlies, I spent a lot of time removing them. The room needs some TLC. There was gaffer tape under the shower cubicle, and the sink was coming away from the wall. There was tape on the ceiling, too. One saving grace was the shower, which was very good. Parking was tight due to a number of abandoned cars dotted around. The bed wasn't very comfortable so I hardly slept. It was not ideal when I had to be at the Vox Conference Centre at 8 am. Room 1 was described as a superior twin, which it certainly isn't. There was no WiFi which really isn't acceptable these days. I wouldn't personally stay here again but it has potential with the TLC I mentioned.
• Lynda (4/5): Lovely situation but rough accommodation - The property was lovely situation. Road noise cant be helped butvthe room was very rough. The paint work was disgusting and looked like a shed. The bed was very uncomfortable and too soft. Luckily it was a warm weekend as only heating was an electric radiator. The parking was difficult as i had a van and i had to reverse out onto a main dual carriage way as little space to turn round. The noise of the water pipes when any other room used their water was deafening. The shower, i was warned when i booked in, had a knack to getting it right! Sorry but i wont be staying again and i wont recommend. A shame as it looked lovely and opening the door straight onto garden was very inviting but definitely needs doing up to temp me back. Would be lovely in the summer to sit out in the evenings.
• Agata (8/5): - I needed warm shower and comfy bed to stay over night with my dogs during Canicross races and thats what I got. Bed was clean and comy, bathroom was clean, water in shower was warm. There also was milk in fridge and kettle and tea bags. Place needs a TLC, yes, but its not expensive and it was comfortable. Host was very nice and friendly guy. I slept well = Im happy :)
• Philip (10/5): - Up to my expectations, no issues.
• Philip (10/5): - Nice place to get away from it all. Very comfy bed, slept very well. Has a fridge and microwave which most places don't. No issues.
• Rajiv (8/5): - Rooms on the farm , next to busy road.
• Mark (4/5): - The entrance can be easily missed. Parking is on muddy, rough ground. Smoke alarm has obviously had no battery for quite some time. Very dated, desperately needs an upgrade. Tiny bathroom.
• Paul (2/5): Poor at best - Where do o start. Booked for 2 nights. As a contractor, I work all over the UK staying in hotels, so ive been in good and bad places, but this by far has been the worst, tiny room with a micro bathroom. Smoke detectiors with no batteries in and the battery slot still open with cob webs on it is boon open without batteries that long. The beds and blankets were damp, we slept in our own sleeping bags (something we've never done before) The shower worked in the evening, but didn't work in the morning?? Leaving at 5.30 am for work, had to use our phone camera light to find our way to where our van was parked, and that too was a mission as the carpark is in complete darkness and small, so hadto do a 10 point turn to get off it. The only positive i can take away from this stay is the toilet was clean. This place is in need of a massive refurbishment. This is the first time I've left a review of any of the hotels/properties and air B&B's Way over priced for the quality of the stay!
• Philip (10/5): - As expected, used many times. Unusually there's a fridge and microwave in the rooms. Not many places have these.
• Philip (10/5): - No issues, always as expected.
• Chris (6/5): - The area around the property was not very well maintained
• Emma (6/5): - This lodge was okay. It is very rough and ready and quite dirty, but the bed was clean so if you’re only looking for somewhere to sleep it’s fine. The owner was very nice and provided transport when we needed it.
• Philip (10/5): - Ideal for me, nice quiet place, everything I want.
• Julie (2/5): - On arrival we had to wait until 17.00 as the room was not ready. The room was dirty, with bottle tops from previous visitors behind the bed, dirt on the skirting boards, mould all over the room, the battery removed from the smoke detector, the bed was damp, there was vomit just outside the door. The whole stay was terrible. We slept in our clothes and did not take a shower due to the uncleanliness of the room.
• Kev (10/5): - Very comfortable Paul great Host
• Peter (8/5): Good location for a traveller by car - Decent place to stay for the night at a very decent price.
• Philip (10/5): - Always good, easy to relax with little outside noise. Everthing you need.
• David (8/5): - Lovely setting. Lovely host - met me on arrival . Room very comfortable. Was nice to sit outside in evening and watch the night come in peacefully. Could do with modernising/decorating but I wouldn’t let that stop me returning. Great place for the price paid. :) had a lovely rest for the night!
• Howard (8/5): - For the price i paid which was very low it was most satisfactory. The owner was extremely pleasant and chatty. Everything worked fine and the bed very comfortable.
• Lucy (2/5): Do not stay here - This accommodation was little more than a shack. My summerhouse was cleaner. Absolute disgrace, so much so my husband ordered me to leave. I cannot describe just how bad the property was. Cobwebs, shower held together with tape, the promise of the room smelling of fish later that night. The door barely closed and had daylight shining through. It felt cold and damp. There was no 'garden view', more a high level slit window to nothingness. This place was beyond terrible. Such an upsetting experience that will be reported to environmental health and the fire brigade. Could not believe it when the owner said 'no homeless or immigrants here's. What an outrageous comment to make.
• John (2/5): - I dont want to be demeaning or condescending but there is no choice. What you are getting for your money is, it appears, a converted stable block that may or may not have once belonged to a lodge house nearby.. To say the property is tired would be putting it mildly, there is a prevailing musty odour to the room in which I stayed and presume is also present in the other 3 rooms. I imagine there is no insulation as the room was fairly cold for the middle of June on a mild day. When i was much younger i have on occasion squated in the east end of london, the principle of which was to find an empty council property in a run down area that you could put some effort into to make habitable. I wouldnt have squatted in this shed Sorry but not worth £10 let alone £48.
• David. (10/5): - Does what it says on the tin Proprietor was extremely pleasant and helpful
• elaine (6/5): - Staff were extremely friendly, and it has a fridge, microwave, WiFi and TV plus kettle, but it needs a refurb.
• Philip (10/5): - Wouldn't suit everyone but does the job for me. Bed was comfy, shower worked well, nice and quiet.
• Philip (10/5): - Always good for a peaceful night away from the crowds. Wouldn't suit everyone but I find it to my taste.
• Philip (8/5): - Does what it says on the tin. No frills but great for a quiet night. Host is very pleasant.
• Nick (6/5): Cheap and cheerful - Cheap and cheerful
• Philip (10/5): - Does what it says on the tin.
• Philip (8/5): - Does what it says on the tin. Good for a night or two.
• Philip (10/5): - Always good for a stopover.
• A (6/5): - Friendly host who came out to direct us in off the A435, as the turn into the drive is very sudden and easy to miss, can be quite a challenge with traffic whizzing along at 60-70mph!
• Philip (10/5): - Always good for a one night stay
• Gilbert (4/5): - Noisy road - uncomfortable bed
• Philip (10/5): Beoley Lodge - Stayed hete a few times now, suits me fine as its quiet and secluded. Not for everyone but meets my needs.
• John (6/5): Mixed - Very pleasant & chatty host, the small room was clean and the bed comfortable. Unfortunately the night was warm and humid which made the room uncomfortably hot, this problem was compounded by insects which swarmed in whenever we opened the very small window. The TV remote didn’t work (suspect the batteries, but we couldn’t check as it was screwed shut) also the smoke alarm battery hatch was open, revealing that no battery was fitted. We couldn’t set the shower temperature (scalding hot or stone cold) despite following instructions given by the host. The weather was exceptionally hot that night, had it been normal September weather, I’m sure that the room temperature would have been perfectly OK and the stay good value, given the price paid.
• Philip (8/5): - Bit rough around the edges but served its purpose. Not real problems and a pleasant host. Will probably use again.
• Beth (10/5): - Very convenient and the owner was super friendly
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Very pleasant night here, don't expect a posh hotel but does what it says on the tin. Very quiet and peaceful.
• Philip (10/5): - Quite nice and peaceful, don't expect five star but good for one night.
• Robert (10/5): - Quirky but great accomodation. Quiet but close enough to the M40 for driving - very clear instructions given about how to find property. Room clean and well kept with great bed, bathroom (shower), and also mini fridge and microwave. Friendly chap checked us in and out :) We genuinely had a lovely stay :D
• Verified traveler (6/5): Not a total success unfortunately - Issues with hot and cold water supply due to the very cold weather, cold supply froze, and needed to sort timer so had hot water, that was until the cold froze and eventually had no water. Howling gales meant that the wind was penetrating through the door gaps, which in turn meant the room was never very warm, but only had initially 1 small oil radiator, the quilt was a bit thin for the weather as well. Bit tricky getting into or out of the drive which is onto a dual carriageway just before a slip road. On positive side the provision of a microwave and fridge proved very useful as there is not really (due to weather) anywhere local enough to walk, not that driving was an option with all the snow we had, so all in all unfortunately not a success. In better weather would I am sure be more acceptable. Note; did not try the breakfast or the WiFi which are all additionally chargeable.
• Samantha (8/5): Great host - very helpful - Fantastic service including an airport pick-up (at a very reasonable charge). Extremely friendly, helpful and accommodating host which made our stay. Not the easiest of locations to get to, which was why the airport pick-up was much appreciated.
• Matt (4/5): B&B - Upon arriving to the B&B, I was greeted by the owner who showed me to my room. When entering the room, the power to the building tripped, which was reset by him. The bed was comfortable and the washing facilities clean. As I was in the area for work, I went to work (nights), leaving the accomodation. Upon returning in the morning, the driveway entrance and parking was a little tight, due to the site being situated on a dual carrigeway. Having a shower in the morning was alright, but upon hearing other guests starting to use the shower facilities, the shower became very week in strength, almost to a dribble. Sleeping during the day was not a problem, but if the same scenario was for a light sleeper, they would have difficulty due to road noise. Waking up around 1500hrs, I watched TV and relaxed, until approx. 30mins later the power tripped out again. All in all, the place was of an average B&B, but would not stay there again.
• Steven (10/5): Excellent Stay - I can say Avonhill B & B was a lovely stay. The room was a twin room but had been recently decorated and was a lovely room. Well recommended to anyone in the area either in Redditch or south Birmingham
• Douglas (4/5): Road access concerns - I thought the road access was very dangerous. It was direct onto a dual carriageway with cars coming past at 70-80mph.
• Douglas (4/5): Unsafe road access - I would not recommend it. The access drive is direct on to the A38 dual carriageway with cars doing 70-90mph. Not for the faint-hearted when turning in, and positively dangerous when coming out.
• Lynn Dalton (8/5): Clean and comfy - The rooms were clean and comfortably furnished to a good standard. It was in a good location for me as it was only about 3 miles from my final destination for the following day. It is on a busy road so traffic noise could be a problem if you are not used to it. The owner (Paul) was very friendly and accommodating. He and his wife have only owned the property for a few months and are busy renovating the main house. I don't know if their plans include a central lounge area for guests but I felt that this was the only 'down side' to the property.
