I have friends in Birmingham and as they have a small budget room I often stay their due to the low price and my need to be in Birmingham the next day, so I drive down the night before. I usually bring my own food and breakfast but I can eat it in my room and if I need the kitchen t warm some thing up, that is also not an issue!

I'm  welcomed back as a friend every time I visit! I love that !

Nice clean room, good for the price and pleasant host Helen who assisted in finding alternative accommodation for a 2nd night as was fully booked. Would definitely use again, convenient location for trains and bus and off street parking. Lovely surroundings.

Great host and great location

I'm really surprised to see LL not getting a higher rating.
It is a trad B&B, in that it offers simple overnight accomodation at a competitive price.
Booking near my time of travel it cost less than a Prem Inn or Travail Lodge.
Location is excellent for NEC visits.
The rooms are very clean, have password protected WiFi. Some nice touches include, tea, coffee and a couple of choccy biscuits as well as soap and shampoo in the shower room. 
Optional cooked breakfast was made while I waited, and tasty.
The owner was friendly and did not mind making breakfast a little earlier than usual.

First class B & B

We booked the Leaded Light because we had a family meal booked at Olton Tavern. This Guest House was a relatively level 1 mile walk away.

Unfortunately, the owner contacted me to say they needed to cancel our non-refundable booking.

Under the terms of the booking contract (via hotels.com) the guest house are responsible for re-locating us to another property which met our needs.

The owners suggested one property and extra mile away, which involved steep inclines along the route to the restaurant. We said we could only accept that if they covered the taxi cost. The Leaded Light refused to do so.

The matter is now with hotels.com.

I was forced to book a room at a nearby Travelodge at a higher cost and have written to Leaded Light asking them to pay the price difference caused because of their error. No response as yet.

So, the guest house may be fine - but when they overbook or forget to update their calendar then you are basically on your own to sort out something else - and in our case, as we got closer to the Saturday, the rates everywhere else had increased.

Not very professional at all.

Hotel Cancelled Booking and Were No Help Afterward

A convenient B&B close to Olton railway station and for those walking along the Grand Union Canal.  Owner couldn't have been more welcoming.  Excellent twin room with good size bathroom.  All very clean and comfortable.  And a very good breakfast.

Excellent B&B

I decided to book for 1 night to save the extra stress of driving down the M6 next morning to a 10am appointment at the nearby Solihull Hospital. It was a very windy and rainy day when we arrived and were very warmly welcomed by Helen the B n B owner. We were then shown to our requested twin bed room over looking the front of the house n small private car park. The room was fairly large n had a large bay window which made the room nice n bright. The ensuite bathroom was quite small but compact with a nice shower a d had extra little touches such as sachets of shampoo n shower gel and 2 new white face flannels. Everything was spotlessly clean. There was also a kettle n tea n  coffee making facilities and a lovely selection of biscuits. The 32ìn freeview tv was perfect. A hairdryer was also present as was a small fridge. Two mins up the road there was a row of local shops which included a fish n chip shop, chinese and Indian restaurants with takeaway. Wine bar. Lovely bakery and a decent size Spar store and a nice takeaway sandwich shop where you could sit n have a coffee and a few other shops, so very handy. We bought fish n chips n Helen had set up a table in the dining room for us with salt n pepper n vinegar with the sauces to hand. We both had a good nights sleep and enjoyed our freshly made to order English breakfast with tea and toast.The breakfast menu also included all types of eggs also cooked to order.  There was also a variety of cereals n jams  available. Helen cannot do enough to make you feel welcome and is a lovely, friendly welcoming host. We had a most enjoyable stay and would def stay there again if in that area.

Shelter from the Storm

There were three adults stayed here for the Crufts weekend. It was only a 10 minute drive and had parking on the driveway at the front of the property. It’s was nice and quiet and had great comfy clean rooms. Breakfast was lovely with a nice relaxed atmosphere. Food was lovely and set us up for the day.  The owner is lovely a very friendly and genuine lady.  Would definitely stay again - thank you 😊

Great Stay

Had to visit Solihull for work so booked myself into this cosy little guest house. Really enjoyed the stay, friendly owners and the breakfast really filling and fast. Room was perfect size and the bed was really cosy :) if I ever have to come back this way I’d defiantly stay there again. 

Cosy stop :)

Booked via booking.com as guest house is close to the airport.
On arrival at 6pm no one was there to check us in, we walked around downstairs confused and then found a scribbled note with a key and my name on it so went to find our room. We left our luggage and over £500 of currency and both passports in the wardrobe as we felt this was 'safer' than keeping valuables in my handbag when we went out for something to eat. On return at the guest house we found our bedroom door wide open and our valuables left open to the world!!! Another guest informed us of another note left downstairs (see attached). The owner had decided to move us and put us in a room downstairs without even contacting me to let me know. I rang the number and expressed my concern to Helen but didn't even receive an apology. Rather upset we went to bed as we were up at 2am for an early flight. At 11pm we were woke up by the man checking in upstairs asking us to move our car over a few inches so he could squeeze in. Understandably, at that time of night and given the experience so far we were not impressed. Due to the lack of service and zero check in information no one in the guest house knew where or how to park and this was causing anxiety to a lady in the room above as she also didn't want to get blocked in. 
When the alarm went off I tried to find a socket to plug my hair straighteners in so slightly pulled the bed away from the wall as that is where the lamp was plugged in. I was greeted with a pair of used dusty mens England boxer shorts stuffed down by the mattress and felt disgusted that we'd slept beside them!!! 
I emailed Helen and raised my concerns, as a frequent traveller and genius booking.com member I have never experienced poor/unsafe service like it. Helen text me to acknowledge she had received my complaint but I am yet to receive an apology for the horrendous customer service. 
This could have quite easily been a police incident if our passports and money has gone missing, apparently this must be acceptable to the owner ???

Booking.com raised my complaint to the guest house and again, they refused to acknowledge it.

Avoid !!!


Avoid!!!

Lovely lady runs this B&B. Breakfast very nice. Reason for 3 stars shower room tiny and shower either too hot or too cold. Fridge on top of wardrobe? Assumed worked.  old fashioned room but very clean. Very hot room had to open window. On main road so quite noisy.
