Fairlawns Hotel and Spa
Aldridge, Walsall, 8.7 miles from New Street. What follows is the practical detail: distances, parking, who it suits and where it does not.
Our verdict
Fairlawns Hotel and Spa stands on Little Aston Rd in Aldridge, Walsall, 8.7 miles from New Street. Parking on site is reported as free, which is worth real money against central garage rates.
On parking, own car park, reported free.
On the spa: a thermal suite, with spa and stay packages.. 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 8.6 out of 10 on Booking from 541 reviews, a small sample for a Birmingham hotel. That is 0.7 above the 7.9 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 £171 a night. That is about £86 above 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 Holiday Inn Birmingham M6, JCT.7 by IHG, 3.6 miles away. Against that one, this hotel rates 1.4 higher and usually costs more.
It qualifies for our hotels with parking, hotels with hot tubs and spa hotels in and around birmingham comparisons, which is a reasonable shorthand for what it is good at.
The main trade-off is that it is well outside Birmingham, so anything in the city centre means a drive of twenty minutes or more in each direction.
