Brook Marston Farm Hotel

Nice dog friendly hotel with lovely walks

In need of modernisation

Unfortunately my stay wasn't the best. Checking in was no issue. Friendly nice staff. But that's the best part over. The room smelt fusty, facility in room poor, comfort no existent, bathroom door broken, shower was a trickle so unpleasant. I understand the hotel was an old building but it was just tired. The room was that clean and there was even a toe nail clipping on the floor. Food wasn't any better. Had an even meal in the hotel and if you like frozen food it's perfect otherwise not so good.

Staff helpful and friendly. We ate in the restaurant, no frills, food was good. Country hotel, easy access to local motorways. Definitely need a car. No USB points in our room.

Great place

The place gave me the impression it was very tired and in need of investment... Corridors very cold...bar unattended....over priced meal...poor quality breakfast ...room dated .....walls dirty and marked....bathroom smelt badly of urine... toilet bowl broken and repaired with mastick....taps constantly dripping ....threadbare lampshade ....sleep broken due to constant drone of traffic on nearby M42.....general smell of damp throughout masked with airfreshner...would say i wont be back but by the looks of it ....the place is tettering on closure ...shame really as staff did appear to care and the grounds were generally in good order....a typical example of a little effort and investment would go a long long way

Lovey old building, very pretty courtyard and wonderful lock nearby. Bit scary fire alarm going off at 6 and 8 am . So not the best sleep. Other than that abery enjoyable stay

This was a nice place, but the rooms are quite old and the beds are not that comfortable. It's simple if you stay for a night or two, but I would not recommend more than 3 days. I do think the place can have some fixer upper with some areas like the wall paper in some bedrooms. However, again- it is simply cozy for a few nights and that will do.

An absolute dive, I must have the knack of picking the most grubby run down hotels in the area, bed was sagging, room was dated and dirty, location is miles from anywhere, I complained and was given a slightly better room I was so disappointed I'd booked 2 nights, it was an awful experience, breakfast was decent but tiny and nobody to issue a receipt the on the day of departure, despite being told this would be the case I would avoid this place at all costs, and its a wedding venue? seriously its a dump, I's be ashamed to offer to contractors let alone business people, and charging full rates for terrible accomodation

Amazing staff and hotel good. Let down by standard of food, which was not hotel standard.

The hotel was difficult to find but a hidden treasure once we found it. It was quiet and the breakfast was lovely

Main purpose of the stay was for business. The location was ideal for work and the venue is in an ideal setting. Staff generally were helpful but appeared sometimes to be stretched too thin . The hotel requires updating and some considerable investment. A bit of care and vision could make it a really great venue considering its location.

Stayed for 2 nights as working local. It wasnt terrible, however the hotel is tired. Food was average at best. Breakfast was well below par. It reminded me of Fawlty Towers. Staff (which was the 1 girl, receptionist, bar, restaurant) was excellent and did her best. Room was ok, clean and tidy. Ive paid less for better

Adequate, but looking a bit jaded and leaking taps in the bedroom on-suite.

Set in a rural area away from the hustle and bustle of urban living, Brook Marston Farm Hotel provides a tranquil setting that's great for relaxation. However, there are a couple of things that could be improved -- the "fruit juice" provided at breakfast time was actually "fruit juice drink" which has a lot of added sweeteners; the room included a "Do not disturb" sign but there was no means of hanging it on the door. Parking was free and there were plenty of places to park, mostly under shady trees -- a real bonus in summer. Overall the, the place has an old-fashioned, comfortable feel to it, but it's only about 20 minutes away from Birmingham.

Sadly the hotel is very very dated. The owners need to invest in the hotel rather than let it stay run down. The beds are so so so old and uncomfortable they should have been replaced years ago. Our smelt so damp and the damp in bathroom was so engrained in no cleaning would get rid of it. From carpets to cutlery to curtains everything is old and need of a revamp. The hotel holds so much potential as the grounds are situated with lovely surrounding areas but I wouldn’t stay here again or recommend it to people. The only saving grace for the hotel is the staff who were very pleasant and if the state of the hotel is anything to go by are in need of a pay increase too! Given the price of the stay is comparable to a premier inn a few miles away the owners should think hard about given the hotel an injection of cash it so clearly needs and deserves. I wish I’d taken more photos of the hotel to showcase better the issues but here’s a photo of the bar fridge…. The hotel room didn’t have any bottled water on arrival or a mini bar… so I went to the bar to get a couple of bottles of water and a bottled soft drink…. This was all the fridge had stocked… kinda sums it up I guess

Really welcoming staff, I loved the room, very quiet. Hearty meal, good night's sleep, nice breakfast.

Nice and friendly staff, room was clean and the food was very nice

The location was nice, but the room was very dated. Needs to be upgraded. It wasnt helped by the alarm going off at 12.40 am and no explanation from anyone the next day. Overall experience very poor.

Extremely friendly and beautiful place
