My sister in law suggested we go to netherstowe house for afternoon tea so five of us went. It's in…read moreLichfield but hidden away so luckily she knew where to drive to!! As I was photoing outside, the door opened and we were greeted by a member of staff who took us to the waiting area. As we waited for the other girls, we ordered drinks and took in the atmosphere. I'm normally a coffee drinker but looking at the afternoon tea options I could only choose tea, I should have asked really if I could have coffee. But it was nice to drink tea for a change. The sandwiches were small and the cakes were quite nice. You can ask in Advance for changes to the fillings as one girl didn't eat ham and another didn't eat salmon.

The location is fantastic with a lot of restaurant and pub options nearby and within walking distance. Lichfield is a great city and I look forward to future visits!

This Holiday Inn Express is located around 2.5 miles from the city centre of Lichfield, closer to…read morethe villages of Wall and Shenstone. It's close to the main A5 road, as well as a couple of minutes from a junction of the M6 Toll Road. Whilst the address says Lichfield it is important to note that it's not in the city centre, and that you'll need your own transport, or use a taxi service, if you'd like to explore more of Lichfield. It's a fairly recently built hotel, and the rooms are comfortable, and really well maintained. Similarly to most places in the area, the people working here are friendly and really helpful - it's one of the benefits of staying in a hotel outside of a main city - Birmingham city centre is around 25 minutes drive, or train journey away from the train station in Shenstone. For this reason I could recommend this hotel for someone wanting a good level of comfort, but away from a major city centre. Birmingham Airport and the NEC are around 30 minutes drive away. Breakfast is included in all room rates, and weekend rates are a few pounds cheaper than during the week. There's ample parking here, with the hotel situated on an estate, alongside a McDonalds and an Esporta health and fitness centre. Otherwise, there are many fields that surround the hotel. Overall, you get a decent level of service, a tranquil environment, and access to a major trunk roads just a few minutes from the hotel. The nearby villages of Shenstone and Wall both have places to eat and drink at. Wall has one pub - 'The Trooper', which is worth a visit.

This Travelodge is on the A38 near Burton, between Derby and Birmingham. It is probably closer to…read moreSwadlincote than to Burton-on-Trent. We booked online several months in advance and paid only £29 for a double room. We did not check-in until almost midnight as this was a one night stop to avoid a long drive home after a party. The only member of staff present that late a night was a girl in her late teens. She did not remove her earphones to serve us, but did quickly find our reservation and ask if there was anything else we needed. There was a vending machine with crisps, chocolate, toothpaste, and canned drinks in the lobby. The room had the usual shower over a bath. There were towels provided as well as a small bar of soap, and plastic glasses. We had a double room, which has one double bed, and a sofa bed. There was a television, but as the remote control did not work we had to use the buttons on the front of the unit. The room was however spotlessly clean, and very quiet. Although we had been told when we checked in that reception was 24 hour, when we left at 11am the reception desk was unmanned. There was a post box for the room key, and a notice saying that from 7am to 3pm assistance was available from the cleaners. Breakfast was available from the next door Little Chef. We chose to drive into Swadlincote to a Wetherspoons instead! I would go back to this hotel for a one night stop due to the cleanliness, price and convenient location. For a longer stop I would want to find a hotel with more facilities.

very good hotel the rooms are always clean and tidy and the staff are great.read more
