The outside looks like an old manor house, and it is beautifully lit at night - really shows off the features. Inside, the building is lovely - really pretty and spotlessly clean! It's not a huge hotel, but their function room can hold up to 150 for an evening function, and it is a really lovely, intimate setting. As it is only a small space, the bar isn't very big - and when we were there,there were only two staff working the bar which lead to delays in being served. The food is fantastic and they have a nice little garden area too, which would be ace in the summer, but too cold for a January wedding!! Not a huge amount of car parking tho, so get your guests to car share as much as possible!!

I'm going to give this 5 stars for being a great Premier Inn, not for the grade of hotel…read more It's brand new, built by the river next to the Worcester County Cricket ground, which on my visit was completely underwater, as you can see in the picture! Rooms were a good size, clean and comfortable with all the usual facilities that you would expect from a Premier Inn - en suite bathroom, large TV, hairdryer, tea & coffee facilities (no biscuits though), choice of pillows for the bed, and 30 minutes free Wi-Fi. Minimal, but all you need for a good night's sleep - in fact, they do say that they will refund your money if you don't sleep properly. I was tempted to put this to the test as I didn't really get back to sleep after being woken up by the room upstairs returning at 1.30am, but that's not the fault of the hotel so it would have been churlish of me to complain. The check-in has two automated desks similar to ATMs or airline check-ins that are very easy to use, although there was a very helpful and friendly staff member on duty as well to help guide you through the process if needed. They also reassured me that the night watchman would keep an eye on the car in the car park and wake me up if the rising flood waters, which were already covering a third of the car park, threatened to engulf it. The bar and restaurant is in the building, and the staff both at the bar and at breakfast could not have been more helpful and friendly. I didn't eat the evening meal in the bar, but the menu looked OK and reasonably priced. Had I not had a prior engagement I would have eaten here quite happily. As usual at Premier, breakfast is extra but it's worth buying one as you can eat all you want from the buffet. There was a good choice of hot food to order, including vegetarian sausages (yay!). This might be because the place is new and they're trying to make a good impression (it worked!), but I hope it lasts, as this is a very convenient location close to the city centre when visiting Worcester.

Holiday Inn Express is IHG's main budget brand, and is typically a good value / no frills option…read morefor brief overnight stops where you want little more than use of a comfortable bed for a few hours. This one is fairly average in appearance, decor, etc., but has some issues that I would have to mark it down for: - The parking for the hotel itself is limited, and although there is overflow into adjacent parking for a Harvester, this also tends to fill on busy evenings - Although it notionally has air conditioning - not necessarily something that can be expected in UK hotels as of yet :-( - I found it to only be marginally effective, and whan I raised the issue with management they admitted this is an ongoing problem - If you try to mitigate the air conditioning problem by opening a window the noise from nearby Motorway becomes intrusive

There is food on offer but whilst it is decent quality,there is a limited choice. I happen to like curry do I don't have to go out. Although it is on the A38 and close to the M5 it is quiet. The rooms are standard but clean with good showers. There is free Wi Fi in the main concourse. I would not hesitate in recommending it.

I stayed at the Norwood for a week while moving my daughter from New York to University. Right from…read morethe moment I made the reservation the hospitality at the Norwood was evident. 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.

In a word: Outstanding! From the moment I arrived the personal, family friendly service from Mark,…read moreJulie, Eloise and the staff set the standard for others to emulate. 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!

It was immediately obvious which section was for drinking and which was for eating- something a lot of places often do not manage. We went to the bar and were served immediately. I asked for a G&T and was offered a suggestion of Portobello Road gin. Always nice when the staff don't just instantly give you Gordons! They had a small but good selection of spirits. Prices were what you would expect for the area and for good quality drinks- about £6.50 for a double g&t though I expect bombay sapphire would be cheaper. The food looked good but I didn't eat so couldn't comment. There's lots of outdoor seating so it would be a lovely place to go in the summer.

The pub is true to it's routes with the decor reflecting the local railway, there's cosy log burners and a great view of the local station, upstairs there is a fantastic mural of Bewdley which I'd highly recommend you taking a look at. There's a great selection a beers and wine, they don't do food as such here but they do an array of Pork pie's and rolls and we all agreed their selection of sauces and pickles was top notch. We opted for a standard pork pie with the favorite English mustard, shared between four of is was a sufficient small snack to accompany our beer. They have a pub dog, and welcome other dogs and you can get a little treat for your pouch for a small donation behind the bar. There's also free wifi (code on the board as you walk in). Staff and locals are really friendly and there's also plenty of parking out back. I'll definitely be paying another visit when I'm back in the area.

This is a great pub with a lot of character on the edge of Bewdley…read more It has recently had a referb and rename. It's been restored by the owners to its former name way back when-The Great Western Hotel. On entry it's like stepping back in time with every last detail done out and restored back to it's formal glory as an old railway themed pub. It is clearly a labor of love for the owners and there's a really cozy warm welcoming feel about the place. The beer is to be expected of a pub that takes pride in its original routes with a great selection of local ales and an excellent draft craft lager that for the life of me I can't remember the name of! There's no meals served however there are a selection of locally made pork pies along with ham and cheese crusty rolls on offer. The cheese in the rolls can only be described as door stops, no messing about! Now when it comes to pork pies I like to think I'm a bit of a critic and I can safely say that they are the best I've ever had (yes even better than Aldi's Christmas specials, trust me!) It's also worth noting that the Great Western is a dog friendly pub. So much so that for a small donation on the bar you can pick up a couple of dog treat biscuits for your yappy companions! All in all a cracking boozer with a lot of character and a welcoming friendly atmosphere. Highly recommended after a walk along the River Severn through Bewdley!
