Good little find this pub. The rooms are a decent size and clean. Staff couldn't be more helpful. |The pub itself is well used by locals, it doesn't do food in the daytime or evening at the moment but you can order in. They do offer a continental breakfast.||Good selection of garden tables as well.

First off I would like to say that the team are absolutely lovely, friendly and welcoming. This review has nothing to do with the people who run this inn. …

Beautiful Location, however if you are wanting a nice country pub/inn, with a good selection of ales/drinks, and good food.Don't bother going here.We were informed by the barman that they don't do food anymore.And as regarding drinks, it's got to be a poor do, when you get your first pint, and it's warm, you get a second (after struggling to drink the first) hoping it'll be better, and it's warmer.The second pint was a different one to the first, and it ended up in the bushes outside.Needless to say, we shall not be returning.Food - non existentDrinks - very poorAtmosphere - poor.State of the establishment - needs picking up before it's permanently closed.A real shame, as it's a stunning location, and the pub is the only one left.

Recent poor reviews for food & drink dissuaded us from mooring at Wilmcote to eat/drink there for the evening. 8 hungry & thirsty crew went elsewhere. Shame as the Mary Arden Inn was very good on a previous visit some time ago.

No food which surprised me as it says it has a brasserie. Not very clean cobwebs all around windows, curtain in bathroom ripped, only hot water which is very dangerous even out of cold tap. Tiles on bathroom floor not fixed down so not good for bare feet

Sadly a very run down pub in what should be a honeypot location . The Timothy Taylors cask ale was good but the place seemed tired and unloved with parasols laid on the floor not up I the benchs, few flowers. Pity as it's such a great location.

Only one staff on in the afternoon who was checking people in and serving behind the bar when he wasn't in the garden smoking. When we returned about 23.00 that evening we were told breakfast was from 8.30 to 11.00. …
