The staff were generally polite, efficient, not outright unfriendly, but clearly too busy to smile much. The rooms were clean and comfortable. The grounds were pretty, well-maintained, and pleasant to sit in, whatever the weather, which was conducive to catching up with my family. The food was excellent when catering for my mother's wake, especially when accommodating my vegan daughter with some excellent cake. Just a pity many could not stay long enough to eat it all.
Onsite parking is available but limited and not really enough even if only half of the rooms (5/10) were full, never mind if visitors to the venue arrive on top, as is needed if holding a Wake or any function?
There is on-street parking nearby for mourners potentially.... (but the stay is limited to one hour)
This venue is advertised to cater for a wake of 70 mourners. This could work, provided all mourners arrive by public transport. We had fewer than 20 people, and most could not park. (Most were not local enough to arrive by train/bus, but the local population could do this easily)
There are excellent cafes within a 15-minute walking distance of this hotel, which are very pleasantly situated in the lovely Bournville Green area, where coffee/tea/Brunch can be obtained as breakfast and access to hot drinks from the kitchen/bar closes at 10 am at the hotel. (as you would expect from a bed and breakfast facility) Bournville does not have pubs, etc., as expected in an area created by the Quaker Cadbury Family, and IMO this has maintained the areas beauty. You may need to travel for evening meals and takeaways if that is what you want.
I would happily recommend The Old Farm if you need Bed and Breakfast accommodation based in this part of Birmingham if attending for business or pleasure with one vehicle and no pets.

Great location, free parking is a bonus in the city. Great sized property.
Check in was quick and easy, Angela was friendly and provided instructions well.
Located on the outskirts of Redditch, Meadow Farm Redditch by Marstons Inns offers en suite accommodation, a bar, restaurant, free Wi-Fi and free parking.
I was simply horrified, Its a dirty hovel. The location might work for some, but is a bit out of the way if you are travelling North bound. The staff were friendly and the breakfast was good, but having seen how grubby the bedrooms are it makes one wonder what state the kitchen and other none public areas are in.
In future I would stick with the budget chain hotels as apposed to risking an uncomfortable night again in a grubby place like this.
Come on guys, a lick of paint, a clean bathroom, clean carpets and fresh bed linen is 'basic'. A very disappointing experience indeed.
Booked this hotel to attend surgery at the Orthopaedic hospital instead of having to travel from from home address at 5.30. So handy situated in a country park with some beautiful walks and also handy for golfers having a small golf course available. Together with a cafe with a good menu
Great hotel for board only,knew this in advance.was very good value for money,excellent welcome,free parking.
Of course a bar and food option would be good,but do understand it may not be feasible
Overall a good choice,with nearby amenities 👍🏽
The room and bedding was very comfortable. Nice quiet room, pretty good Wi-Fi coverage etc. The grounds are stunning and there are lovely walks close to the hotel that you can take with good views of the city, also close to the golf course.
Used Old Rose and Crown as an alternative to a larger chain hotel. Mandy at Reception was lovely and the rooms I used were clean, if a little dated. I only used it as a place to shower and sleep so cannot really say more.
The hotel was lovely , very clean lovely furnishings , my room was huge and had everything I needed , toiletries supplied and Tea/coffee etc
I could not fault anything
Nice location, good grounds for children. We booked a family room and it was spacious although the shower room was very small. Hotel generally clean and well presented.
Great communication booked for my partner as he is working in the area. Contacted hotel to inform them it would be him checking in, Quick reply and very helpful.
