The older part of the Hotel is beautiful and has wonderful traditional features that make for stunning photos. The executive rooms in this part of the hotel are absolutely beautiful and very spacious with lovely fixtures, fittings and extras like coffee machine and dressing gowns. The newer parts of the hotel have great facilities too and the rooms are comfy, well appointed and offer a lovely night's sleep. The grounds are huge and very well maintained. Photo opportunities are available from literally every single angle. Our wedding breakfast, buffet and breakfast the next morning were all delicious. Quality ingredients are clearly in use and the food is prepared perfectly. We booked our Wedding with Kay and she is a star- helpful throughout, knowledgeable and just down right lovely during the whole process. On the day a well organised team worked perfectly with each other to make sure our special day was perfect. Jordan and Taylor stayed super calm and collected throughout the whole day and night. Nothing was too much for them to handle- lively little children running wild in the woods and teenagers trying to be hip and cool- all dealt with quickly and quietly without any upset to anyone- especially us as bride and groom. I would whole heartedly recommend Southcrest Manor Hotel to everyone and we are already booked to go back. Thank to everyone at the Hotel for helping to make our day perfect.

The rooms were clean, the breakfast and service was excellent and the location and garden were perfect. Our hosts, Mark, Julie and Eloise never tired of answering our many questions. They provided a stress free environment for what could have been a very stressful week. They were very helpful and we considered the Norwood home base while we settled her in. We always looked forward to ending our day with great conversation at their in house bar while watching a game on their TV. Finding the Norwood made all the difference in our stay.

I spent three weeks at the Norwood and thoroughly enjoyed my stay at the B&B. Breakfast each morning was great and my room was quite nice and spacious as well. Being I was working in the City Centre my commutee was about 25 minutes each way, so that would be the only caution. Northfield is a bit of a drive rom the City Center, but it's very close to Cadbury World, a must see!

We hired the whole hotel for 24 hours and these were a great 24 hours. The food served in the duration were great we also had people stop the night before the weding and the day and night after and the service was still top notch. The award winning food is great and a good mixture of drinks are available. Lovely leisure centre and spa and beautiful topiary gardens and views. Highly recomended either as a wedding venue, hotel, restaurant even to pop in for a cup of tea and cake! Lovely, welcoming reception staff. The hotel has a warm welcoming feeling and is very historical inside expecially the wooden pannelling and the beautiful room 4 with the hidden priest hole! We will definitly be celebrating our wedding anniversaries here!

The staff was very friendly and helpful and the meeting space was very good, not large, but just right for our conference and meetings. The breakfast buffet was pretty standard fare and the restaurant staff was great. Lunch at the conference was also good. The bartenders were good, but they have a very limited selection of whiskey/whisky, which was surprising. It's also a cashless hotel. There are other shops and restaurants not too far away.

Check in was very speedy and the staff were welcoming. We were located on the second floor and there are stairs or one lift. I would imagine that waiting for the lift may present difficulties during busy periods, but it was fine when we were there. The bathroom was modern and well equipped with bath and shower and separate shower attachment. Complimentary shower gel/bath gel and soap was provided (Arran Aromatics). The bedroom was very nicely fitted and the bed was comfortable and had additional pillows located in the wardrobe. There was a flat screen TV and a writing desk and an iPod docking station. There was also tea and coffee making facilities. The temperature control was great. We had a bed and breakfast rate of £38 per night for a double room (brililant value) and the breakfast was lovely. There was a choice of fresh fruit, fruit salad, juices, pastries, cereals and full English breakfast. All nicely cooked and hot. If you fancied a quick coffee, there is a Starbucks located in the main lobby where you can get a snack and a coffee. There is also the Pub where you can get pub food as well as The Verve Grill for dinners. They have some excellent value deals on meals. One of the offers in The Pub was their Friday night "Burger Me" deal where you could get a burger for £1. The hotel also has a fully equipped leisure centre with pool and use is included in the price. We had a lovely stay and wouldn't hesitate in recommending this hotel to anyone visiting the area.

But this time I went for a wedding! It was the perfect space and as a hotel everyone could stay over. The gardens are manicured, there s a lovely terrace where guests can spill out to and the venue even allowed fire dancing ( a supplier at the wedding, not a guest). The food was a highlight for me. We attended for the evening buffet. This was the best beige food I d had for a long time! Small goat s cheese tart with crisp pastry, cheese and tomato and spinach pastries, succulent chicken skewers & ribs and wedges and probably more but I d had a few gins by then. The bar was priced competitively a gin and Tonic and a bottle of beer came to £9. The quality of the food and service has made me want to return again soon. It's very close to M42 therefore best accessed by car

Having been…read moreseveral times normally for special occasions or treats I attended with my family for an anniversary dinner and was once again blown away by the quality of the food and service. 8 of us attended the meal which did require booking ad they do get busy however once we arrived we were seated and had given drinks orders withing 15 minutes. Food served is traditional high quality English food with a few modern twists. Starters came out after less than 15 minutes and are quite large with some people in our group commenting that they could have been small mains. Mains quickly followed starters and my fillet steak (cooked blue) was done to perfection and the peppercorn sauce was something special made with a turnip Base it tasted earthy and fresh. I didn't go for desert however the selection is vast and the final course of coffee was served professionally from an incredibly friendly and polite waiter. It isn't the cheapest of restaurants but service and quality of food easily make the price justifiable. I would say for a table of 2 including wine you could do 3 courses each for under £150 as a total.
