The Limes Country Lodge Hotel

We have stayed at the Limes 3 times over the last 18 months for a week at a time. The Owner (Dave) and his son (Dan) are fabulous people. We also joined the Limes for the New Years Eve party. It was such fun to see families with little ones enjoying the celebrations. Many activities for all. As with most UK hotels there is a kettle, cups, tea and milk on the ready. There is a warm and welcoming family atomosphere at the Limes!

Stayed here for last 3 years on Xmas eve, whilst visiting family. Always a pleasurable overnight stay.

Attended for Christmas works party. Room 9 is like being in a cupboard. Room is tiny and no kettle! For the price very disappointed. Hall, landing and stairs where dirty and needed a good vaccumm. The staff were lovely though, drinks reasonably priced and food was good. Unfortunately this was the first and last time will be staying here.

Beautiful surroundings. Great food.

Friendly helpful staff, adequate parking and a well stocked bar were probably the best features for us. The price of the stay was reasonable so this needs to be taken into account when reading the comments below: Some of the rooms are rather gloomy. After initially being accommodated in a room with no windows and only two grubby skylights, we were moved to the "accessible" room. Seriously, I fear for people with disabilities hoping to stay there. The heating control was almost impossible to reach. Although the bathroom is large and classed as a wet room, there was little practical space for our toiletries other than the floor! The worst thing was the hand basin. Naturally it was located in a low position, but the flow of water was impossible to control, particularly when trying to change the temperature. Water sprayed everywhere! And there was no plug in that basin so could not just fill it and then use the water to wash with. Poor access to the room with inadequate lighting outside- again bad for a disabled person. Small niggles that are not accounted for by the reasonable price: - some light bulbs needed to be replaced but weren't - even though we asked twice. - the TV channels were hopelessly out of date and of course could not be updated through the usual menu. One aspect we would congratulate David and his staff on was the special 40s night which included a very competent and talented female singing duo and the food although simple, was at least nice and hot.

Nice hotel bit expensive though as no breakfast included in the price.

This property was surprisingly quaint. All amenities in the room and the ensuite had a fabulously large bath and a large separate shower cubicle. The bed was really comfortable. Will definitely visit again.

Nice little place with nice staff and food.

Everything was perfect, the only thing I would suggest is a portable fan in the rooms as it gets exceptionally hot. Otherwise I would definitely stay there again

Family wedding . Well looked after

Couple of nights convenient stop over quiet area easy check and out clean and comfortable.

Was greeted by lovely lady on reception when booking in...room had everything could need for a one night stay...shower very powerful..comfortable bed....only couple negitive things. We was ground floor..there as a path running along it to gate..which was used couple time by others...and a small glazed window in it..which too our liking..also made that felt little unsafe as like to have windows open during night. Which we didnt due....othe issue..carpet and bathroom hadn't been hovered...apart from that..would stay again

Nice staff bur slow service. It was football evening and a lot of staff working but the service was really slow. Nearly an our to wait for dinner. Confusion over where you sit determines whether you go to the bar or table service for food. Room very hot and no fans provided although asked. Check out was unfriendly - breakfast waitress was doing reception and the serving so not able to provide good service and meant nobody to mention issues to. Lads outside at 11pm kicking a football around and shouting. Seems to be no awareness that they do have business clientele in who are up early the next day. Not able to contact reception although tried to inform them if the noise and to move them on. Very frustrating and an uncomfortable night. I wouldn’t recommend.

First impressions at entering the room were seeing a stained decorative cushion on the bed and finding dust everywhere (on the fridge, bedside lamp, window sill etc). Also drinks rings had been left on the bedside table maybe from a previous guest? So no attention to cleanliness in parts although bathroom and bedding were thankfully clean. There was no mention in booking that the room would be over the hotel bar where a function was being held, so no sleep was had until midnight when the extremely loud music finished. Definitely not a “Peaceful and relaxing experience” as advertised on the their website! Unfortunately a very poor stay.

Lovely country surroundings we no issues.

Nice property features, clean rooms and good restaurant

The property is in a quiet rural spot, convenient for Birmingham, Solihull, Redditch, the M42, etc. I am not aware of any public transport links to the hotel, though, other than taxi. Rooms are to a good standard, although some aspects of the bathrooms could be freshened up (e.g. shower grouting). The restaurant and bar offer a limited menu, but with healthier and more ‘home cooked’ options than chain “lodge” and “inn” alternatives nearby. Overall, very good value

Weather was hot no fan or air con . One bar member liz extremely rude and abrupt . Mattress full of stains won’t be staying again

We are visiting family who live down the lane. When we first arrived they had us in a room above the entrance. Since it was warm we kept the windows open but unfortunately could hear people as the exited the building. The owner allowed us to move to a quiet room. The owner,Dave, is wonderful. Allowed us an early check in. Dave is also the chef and did a stellar English breakfast!

Friendly staff when checking in. Room was presentable and clean. Enjoyed our stay and definitely recommend the hotel
