Old Farm Hotel
The wider West Midlands, 3.9 miles from New Street. What follows is the practical detail: distances, parking, who it suits and where it does not.
Our verdict
Old Farm Hotel stands on Linden Rd in the wider West Midlands, 3.9 miles from New Street. It sits 3.9 miles out from New Street, with the space and the parking that implies.
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 7.8 out of 10 on Booking from 494 reviews, a small sample for a Birmingham hotel. That sits almost exactly on the average of 8.0 across the other 11 rated properties we compare in the wider West Midlands.
In the pricing snapshot behind this guide it listed at around £108 a night. That is about £23 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 The Black Horse (JD Wetherspoon), 1.9 miles away, and the two are close enough on price and rating that the deciding factor is whichever is cheaper on your dates.
The other side of that: the city centre is 3.9 miles away, so an evening in town needs a plan for the journey back.
