Marston Farm

Address:
Bodymoor Heath, Sutton Coldfield, Warwickshire

Birmingham
B76 9JD

Hotel Location: rural

The Marston Farm Hotel is deep in the country. But it's still only a quarter of an hour from the NEC in Birmingham and near to Sutton Coldfield, and so it's well worth finding. This was the ancestral home of Sir Robert Peel, the founder of Her Majesty's constabulary, which is why they're called Bobbies. In it's 9 acres of beautiful Warwickshire countryside, you're on the Birmingham-Fazeley canal. Guests may take a towpath walk and just smell the honeysuckle and the grass nectar.

The hotel has inglenook fireplaces, original rafters, wattle and daub, a pretty courtyard for quaffing away during the summer and armchairs so deep you're asleep before you've come to rest. There's a lovely permanent marquee for weddings as well. The hotel is a great alternative to the noise and pollution that a Birmingham city hotel has to endure. Guests may settle back in the countryside and take it really easy.
