    The stairs are quite steep to the rooms so take it really easy. This property will be unsuitable for wheelchair users but the cafe accommodated to a wheelchair user Friday morning breakfast!

    The room was a very Good size, the bathroom was very modern and fitted 3 people in the shower (1 not so small adult,tall man and a toddler). The bed was really comfortable and we all slept well. Our room was above the cafe so once it is closed our 3 year old was running in the room (as toddlers do) we caused no disruption for noise downstairs so that was really good. In good location for train station and Cadbury even with me with limited mobility. People who worked there were really friendly and the breakfast in the cafe was brilliant our son loved ice cream on pancake for breakfast and they accommodated for a change in my breakfast very well. (I don't like warm tomatoes so I have mine raw) the coffee is really nice. Decor is very cool. The cafe users were really friendly.

    I arrived at night and the motion-sensor light in the alleyway doesn’t come on until you are partway down it.

    Historic, quirky but cosy. Very comfortable stay in room 3. Spacious well appointed bathroom with nice powerful shower.

    WiFi didn't work as it didn't reach to that bedroom. It worked out in the corridor but that's not very useful. Its 2024, please sort that out The towels, although clean, were very rough. Very steep stairs to get in but we knew that from other reviews so it wasn't a problem but don't visit if you have mobility issues.

    It was quiet, comfortable, clean and homely. The old fashioned furniture and tea cups, etc were clearly deliberate to get the period look which we appreciated. Don't expect a modern feel. The beds were comfortable, the shower was good and even though it was only a few degrees outside in February, the room was warm enough as it had two radiators which were giving out enough heat. There are three coded locks to get in for which the codes were sent by text and email in good time. We were happy with this arrangement.

    Nothing.

    The room was lovely. The guy who runs the cafe downstairs was very friendly and helpful. The room was a great size for the price. It was spotlessly clean and had everything we needed. Unfortunately we were in Birmingham for an operation at the Royal Orthopaedic Hospital, but the location of our overnight stay was perfect. Your place was great value for money and we liked the quaintness of the building.

    This B&B suited our purposes regarding location and price.

    The stairs up to the room were quite steep and narrow but manageable. Apart from meeting a member of the café staff on the one day we had breakfast, we had no contact with anyone - neither staff nor other guests. Entry to the room was via a gate and 2 doors, all with coded locks. The codes were sent by text message on the day of our arrival. It was all a bit impersonal but at least there was no problem in gaining entry late at night. Breakfast is not available on Sundays and a breakfast basket in the room can be arranged on Mondays when the café is closed. We went elsewhere on both days.

    Good location on a quiet residential street. Room was quite small but sufficient, clean and comfortable. Price didn't include breakfast but we paid for breakfast on one of the 4 days in the café downstairs (linked with the B&B) and it was reasonable, though limited to just one cup of coffee without paying extra. This venue is recommended if expectations are not placed too high.

    Nothing not to like. Small suggestion would be to notify guests of check in arrangements prior to arrival as I had to message day before to find out procedure. Not a big problem as message was responded too quickly.

    Really liked our stay here. Rooms tastefully decorated, clean and comfortable. Quiet location. Great shower, nice towels. Generous hospitality tray with tea/ coffee selection & some tasty biscuits. Even included cafetiere and filter coffee which was definitely appreciated! Codes to rooms provided prior to arrival - all straightforward. Would definitely stay again!

    This is the second time we have stayed here. It's warm, clean, comfortable and value for money. Last year we stayed on a Friday and the breakfast in the Cafe was lovely but the cafe is normally closed on Sundays so we were sad to miss it this time but the double\twin room had a small fridge which proved to be very useful. I would thoroughly recommend this bed and breakfast.

    Lighting was motion sensors and as you come out your room it takes a while to trigger which means you are very close to steep stairs. Would have liked a bag in the bin and hairdryer in room. And WiFi not very strong for smart TV. Also not local to food places unless you take the car out in the evening and loose your on street parking.

    Close to cadbury world
