Eckington Holidays from £165

Loved the large room size and huge bed. Also the decor in reception, restaurant and bar

Beautiful old buildings and very cosy and spacious rooms. Only one more need handrails outside the big steps towards to the golf course, its for elderly people

Property was great, but unfortunately the restaurant seemed to be having a bad evening. It was very slow (approx 1 hr wait for food) and one dish was terrible. It was supposed to be a curry but I think they didn’t have it so they gave us what looked like frozen veg heated up with some spice mixed through it. They didn’t charge us for this dish later when we paid, but it spoiled our dinner for sure. The kitchen should have owned up to not having it rather than making up something else which wasn’t even close to being what was described on the menu.

It’s a serene and quiet environment away from the hustle in Birmingham town. For me it’s perfect location for getaways and steal a moment to get to the busy town and back. The staffs are welcoming, lovely breakfast and oh the amazing landscape with a good field.

Nice with air cons and comfy n beds, horrible pillows however

Abbey Hotel was a convenient base for our family meet up. It was nice to have the pool facilities, though a shame the jacuzzi wasn't in use. The staff were polite and helpful, dealing with a couple of minor issues promptly (eg remote batteries for tv were dead). The grounds outside were pleasant but generally the impression was that the decor was dated and the hotel ready for an upgrade considering the cost of the rooms. For instance, several handles on the bedroom furniture were missing, the tv was only freeview (no iplayer etc available), no usb charger points in rooms, there was no air-con in bedrooms, the bathroom basin was discoloured and crazed and didn't retain the water level. The food was just adequate, and some meal ingredients didn't fully match up to the menu descriptions, which we only realised later so didn't address at the time. As for the creme brulee, £8.50 for a very small ramekin was disappointing. Breakfast, on the other hand, was great. The serve yourself buffet was well stocked and with a good range of options available. Staff were quick to keep the tables clear in what was a very busy environment. Parking was good, as was access. Overall, a pleasant stay suitable for what we needed. With a bit of investment/ upgrade/ simple tlc it would be easier to recommend.
