Bromsgrove, Worcestershire, 9.8 miles from New Street. What follows is the practical detail: distances, parking, who it suits and where it does not.
Our verdict
Bromsgrove Hotel stands on Birmingham Rd in Bromsgrove, Worcestershire, 9.8 miles from New Street. The spa and the grounds are the reason to come, and neither exists at this scale inside the city.
On parking, own car park. Parking is round the back, and guests describe a fair walk from it.
On the pool: yes. That comes from guest reports rather than the operator, so confirm it when you book. On the spa: listing data indicates a pool, a sauna and a spa.. That comes from guest reports rather than the operator, so confirm it when you book.
None of the Birmingham destinations we measure is walkable from here, so plan the car, the train or a taxi into the trip rather than treating this as a base you can step out of.
It holds 7.2 out of 10 on Booking from 2,341 reviews, a normal sample for the city. That is 0.8 below the 8.0 average across the other 11 rated properties we compare in the wider West Midlands.
In the pricing snapshot behind this guide it listed at around £70 a night. That is about £15 below the £85 median across the other 13 priced properties we compare in the wider West Midlands. It is a snapshot rather than a live rate, and it will not match your dates.
Its closest neighbour in our selection is The Black Horse (JD Wetherspoon), 4.4 miles away. Against that one, this hotel usually costs less and has a pool it does not.
Village Hotel Dudley is the closest equivalent and it beats this one on guest rating by a clear margin, 4.1 against 3.6. What this has instead is the lowest rate of the pair and a position south of the city on the Birmingham Road, which suits a trip built around the M5 and M42 rather than around Birmingham itself.
It qualifies for our hotels with parking, cheap hotels and hotels with hot tubs comparisons, which is a reasonable shorthand for what it is good at.
The other side of that: it is well outside Birmingham, so anything in the city centre means a drive of twenty minutes or more in each direction.
