Wonderful place. Staff are lovely and accommodating. Went above and beyond for our comfort. Breakfast didn't have many options but was delicious, so can't really fault it beyond that. Would definitely recommend as a close place to stay to the NEC.
Used as a base whilst exhibiting at a local show all weekend.
Bar & restaurant were excellent, not charging usual hotel bar & food rates either & they know how to look after their cellar when it came to what was available on the pump.
Food was amazing, so much so on the Saturday night we didn’t dine out like we usually do.
We will definitely be back!

Decor in hotel and our room was a little dated. Scuffed and chipped paint in places. Otherwise clean. Quiet night’s sleep although mattress needs replacing as springs are have compressed a lost some of their resistance. Lovely grounds and beer garden.

Clean room. Excellent friendly staff. Thank you for making the stay a good one. Will definitely be using the Strawberry Bank again.
I chose the Strawberry Bank Hotel because I was arriving on a late flight and leaving the following morning. The hotel was one of few offering suitable accommodation at a reasonable price with a 24hr reception desk.
I was very pleased with the hotel; the staff were all very friendly and helpful, the room was attractive, clean and the beds comfortable. Breakfast was excellent. Many thanks for a pleasant stay!
Good location next to a nice pub. However, the hotel was a bit run down and the room was pretty awful. My room had ripped, dirty carpet and peeling paint. Unfortunately, I wouldn’t stay again.
Wonderful place to stay, staff were lovely, was very clean and comfortable, the restaurant has great food and the beer garden was beautiful - very well cared for with pretty flowers. Great spot, will 100% be going back.
Simpme, comfortable but a good nights sleep in a lovely location

Located in a nice Village with good amenities. Ideally situated for the NEC, 10 minutes away by car. Bar was quite vibrant with good range of drinks and food. Plenty of free parking. Did not opt for breakfast, so unable to comment. The rooms were functional and clean. However the decorations, furnishings and fittings look like they were done in around 1995, and left to fend for themselves. Overall, I thought for £60 a night it was good value for money.
