Lovely place, very easy to find and with a brilliantly thought out check-in/out and payment system. The beds were very comfortable and the shower in our room was wonderful. It was very quiet, even with the windows wide open due to the extreme heat we've been experiencing lately. My husband's very favourite part of our stay was the amazingly friendly and affectionate cat who lives at the farm! Definitely a good place for a comfortable and hassle free overnight stay in the area.

Found this gem of a barn in a lovely area of Solihull. Very close to Earlswood (The Bull Pub) is amazing! We stayed in a really cosy double room, which was generously sized. …

I decided to treat my daughter to an overnight stay somewhere before we visited West Midlands Safari Park the next day. As soon as we arrived, she was over the moon because there were horses! …

Booked a twin room for myself and a colleague as we were exhibiting at the NEC. This b&b is 15 minutes away and ideally situated if you want a good quiet place to stay away from the usual mainstream hotels. …

Great place to stay. Stayed 2 nights. Satnav wasn't too sure where location was and stopped us down the road but we found it! Easy to get to wedges bakery for breakfast in morning, though hosts left milk etc for cereal if we wanted for breakfast. Showers not great, but not a problem if only staying a couple of nights.
