Relaxing beautiful grounds. Access to free board games and puzzles, free wifi. Lounge room free tea and coffee, fruit and cakes. There was a donation box if you wanted to give something. Staff really friendly and helpful. Nice gift shop corner in hall. A great walk/trail around the grounds thru trees and around the lake. Quaint little swing from giant tree branch. Breakfast was delicious. Full English help yourself or cereal is available. Everyone wore a name badge with wifi pass code on back and had a swipe card for entry. Shower was huge and beds very comfy. 20 min walk from Casburys and 1 mile from Selly Oak train station. There is a library available. Not far from Birmingham city via bus or train. Ideal to chill out and relax. Plent of seats on patio and lounge room. Loved it and will definately go back.

Tranquil and comfortable. There is everything to love about this lovely place, with a heavenly garden.. We were there for three days with a 1.5 year old and she absolutely loved it..

Lovely old building, really well maintained. The grounds are gorgeous with natural techniques and materials. There's a pond, a veg garden, and nature walks. Staff are lovely. It's a Quaker education centre with lots of history and a warm relaxed and welcoming feel. The room was plain - consistent with Quaker values - but good quality and comfortable. You don't have to be a Quaker to stay (I'm not).
Tony,

Peaceful friendly atmosphere. Plenty of books, games and free coffee. No faux luxurious add ons.

Woodbridge is a great place to stay if you're looking for something in the Birmingham area. It's run by The Quakers so it is a temperance hotel. The hotel grounds are fantastic, the breakfast was excellent and the room was grand.

Woodbrooke has welcomed guests since 1903. The oldest part of the house dates back to 1830 when it was built by the founder of Birmingham University Josiah Mason. It later became the home of the Elkingtons and Cadburys, who gave the house and gardens to the Religious Society of Friends (or Quakers) in 1903. Since then, we have offered a varied programme of courses for both Quakers and non-Quakers, as well as meeting rooms and bedrooms for anybody wanting a peaceful and nourishing experience. We aspire for Woodbrooke to be more welcoming, nourishing and inspiring than any other guest house. Visitors stay here for its peace and quiet, its ten acres of organically-managed gardens and the fantastic location from which to explore Birmingham and beyond.
