Reviews of Castle Bromwich Hall Hotel

My fiancé and I visited this weekend for a mini break away. We absolutely loved the grounds, the hotel was lovely and our room was perfect. We had a lovely spacious room with en suite, the bed was so comfy that we both had the best nights sleep in a long time. We had breakfast which was lovely, the ingredients tasted fresh and of good quality. All staff we met were polite, welcoming and attentive. We would definitely return if we were to visit Birmingham again.

Very clean and comfortable rooms, beautiful building. Professional service in the restaurant.
Coeliac safe! The chef made special dishes for me, some adapted from the menu and some from scratch. Bearing in mind I stayed here eight nights in two weeks while traveling for work, this was real care and attention. The food was excellent. Highly recommended and very reasonable rates. Fabulous. Thank you Chef!!!

Afternoon Tea for Two! Sounds idyllic! I was lucky to be a guest of someone who'd received this treat as a gift. You will be served with Tea or Coffee and a dinky little 3-tier cake stand that had saucer sized plates! Tier 1: three tiny little sandwiches. Tier 2: a selection of 4/5 teeny-weeny cakes. Tier 3: undeniably the best item was saved till last... a gorgeous not-so-tiny, scone with delicious jam & clotted cream. We had a cheerful and pleasant afternoon with just enough to eat & drink.... and the feeling of being "Alice in Wonderland" when all the food, etc shrank! It certainly wasn't a cheap gift, although the surroundings were commanding, so it wasn't hugely expensive either! Overall, it's a great gift idea but not the best value for money for what we had (in our opinion). Would we go again? Probably not... or maybe... but not in January huddled next to a radiator in front of a huge drafty window! I would suggest going in Summer so you could sit out in the beautiful gardens to enjoy an expensive, small-but-sweet, afternoon tea... or shop around for a better value gift for your loved one!

Nice breakfast meal. Good place for a get away from the London hustle and bustle.
But, the family room we were in had a step up danger trap by the door into the bathroom, they have to fix this. My son fell over there and landed on the marble floor of the toilet...ouch, luckily he didn't bump his head.
There's no hand shower, it does have a good immoveable overhead shower but not everyone wants to stand under a shower especially not if you've dyed your hair to look cool. Maybe 3.5 stars otherwise.

Love this hotel beautiful historical building and surroundings. The staff are really pleasant and helpful. We had a sunday lunch here and the food is wonderful served fresh and hot.

A weekend treat for our 56th wedding Anniversary. This “country house hotel” just a short ride down the M6 was close enough to drive but felt as though we’d traveled far away! A truly warm welcome, comfy lounge lounge bar to enjoy pre dinner drinks,. A dining experience, white linen, glass & silver ware set the scene for a lovely celebration meal. Restful nights sleep and lazy start with full English breakfast before returning to “the real world”. Recommend this small hotel for an escape from modern life but still so close to city and road links.

Beautiful hotel. Great food and lovely staff. Afternoon tea is amazing.
However, top ups take an exceptionally long time, which could be a lack of staffing but easily resolved.
S. P.
The place is nice old building if you like that sort of place. Not modern at all. The dinner service not good. Food is okay great.

70th birthday treat shared with family last night. Perfect setting. A big thank you to Marius and staff for making our evening enjoyable Food which was excellent served to 15 people on time with varied dishes so we could all eat together Timing between courses was excellent making sure that all individual needs was met. Would we visit again, definitely.

Honestly one of the best experiences I've ever had. I came for an afternoon tea to compensate for my cancelled prom, and I can't imagine a day more perfect. The staff were attentive and accommodating, and they catered to all our dietary needs promptly. We were then able to explore the beautiful grounds and were given so much help from the staff even then. I would most definitely recommend and would love to return with my family at some point.
J. S.
Yum! Great setting, characterful room and gardens, friendly service and such a generous afternoon tea! Understandably fewer staff on duty that meant attentiveness could have been better. Wouldn't stop us returning though!
J. M.
Very nice venue, accommodates for allergens but no late menu, tries too hard to be posh. Stop putting weeds on EVERY plate

I had been givern a gift voucher for a afternoon tea so i looked on the voucher website but was unable to book anything very frustated, so looked up on reviews this gave me a bit of concern but decided to try to book over the phone.so glad i did the phone was answered straight away the receptionist who was very nice and was able to book us in on tuesday this week.
We arrived early, again reception very nice informed us where to go givern a choice of the more formal dining or in the lounge, we were met by the manager who showed us a table by window in the lounge.
Then our order was taken and the coffee and tea arrived along with the sandwichs & cakes that were well presented and very nice with plenty of jam and cream for the scones.
all in all a very pleasant experience.
All the staff were well turned out very attentive and professional i cannot praise enough
thank you all involved.

We attended a 50 th wedding anniversary reception.
The staffs were very polite, friendly and welcoming.

Wonderful family run hotel! A few teething issues do need to be addressed though. Breakfast portion size was very un-generous. Pillows were very brick-like and need replacing. And climate control system was difficult to understand or even use. Otherwise gardens and lounge very nice and all around a great hotel!
J. O.
This hotel is a hidden gem!!! Very friendly and helpful welcome, beautiful rooms (the devaruex room was outstanding) and topped off with a great full English breakfast! We will be staying again on our next trip to Birmingham!

The last time it was amazing, food the staff, were excellent, but last weekend we decided to stay again, this time it wasnt so good the room was still amazing, the young man serving us in the bar's lounge was very good .But the down fall was breakfast on both days, the girls just stood around, it took over half an hour for our breakfast to arrive, and thats after l complained , then it was with us within 5 minutes, saying that someone had had a accident with baked beans in the kitchen, tea and coffee was not offered, we ended up helping our selves, l think the staff seemed to think they were just there to stand by the door way and chat. So the following day we thought toast and cereal maybe better idea, guess what girls still by the door, no offer of tea and coffee helped our self but it was too cold, a little bread left only two brown ,everyone had been handling it, l noticed people were not using the tongs, but girls weren't really interested, we were supposed to stay for three nights but we left after the second as l suffer from anxiety, by half ten that morning we were on our way home, very disappointed as we had looked forward to the break as my wife needed the break as she works in the NHS. But the previous time we stayed was amazing l think the gentleman who is in charge was off for the weekend. l just wish he had been there

Excellent stay. They were a little short staffed on the Saturday afternoon / evening because they had a wedding in the hotel but all of the Hospitality industry is struggling with staff right now. Room was lovely and even though it was close to the wedding very quiet. Staff were very helpful and the food was excellent. Wouldn't hesitate to visit again!
A. R.
Lovely room, really clean, grounds where beautiful, breakfast was nice. Check out slightly difficult due to complaining wedding party from night before. Which also impacted our check in the day before due to a different complaining wedding party.
A. M.
Very nice and comfy rooms. Food very hit and miss though

Beautiful building with stunning grounds. Nice rooms and friendly staff.
R. W.
Had afternoon tea as a large group. Service was ok. Food was severely lacking though, unfortunately. It is at the cheaper (but not cheap) end but I still felt the quality and flavour was poor even for the price, and portion size was miniscule.
It wasn't awful, but I certainly wouldn't go back. Definitely worth spending a little extra for a high quality tea somewhere else.
D. M.
Welcoming staff nothing to much trouble. The food was super. We had a room upgrade given to us with a lovely garden view. Absolutely fantastic.

Lovey hotel friendly staff good breakfast. Had a lovely break

I can honestly not thank the staff enough for such a brilliant and memorable day and overnight stay for our wedding 3rd July.
Having had to cancel the wedding last year due to COVID and rearrange to this year we were apprehensive about all the arrangements still being as we wanted them for our special day. We had several meetings with Marius and Sophie where the arrangements were checked and double checked and all our requirements were met with ease. We were even able to request gluten free beer which is not usually available for one of our guests and we're happily told this wouldn't be a problem. Gluten free breakfast was also provided.
The staff at the hotel have gone above and beyond to ensure social distancing and covid regulations are met without spoiling the atmosphere of our day and ensuring guests are still able to have a memorable time regardless. The gardens were absolutely beautiful and our guests enjoyed roaming about the maze and grassy areas throughout the day. For most this was the first chance to see friends and family for a long time. We were able to bring our own garden amusements for the children which were strewn all over the grass by the morning and this was of no concern to any of the staff.
Our wedding breakfast was held in the Great Hall and the seating layout was absolutely perfect for our requirements to ensure all guests were socially distanced whilst still being able to fit all our guests in. During the wedding breakfast Marius worked extremely hard to cater for everyone and ensure all guests were happy with their food. He worked extremely hard and we can't praise his hard work highly enough. All guests complimented the quality of the food throughout the breakfast.
The evening reception was held in the Malt House and what an enjoyable time we all had! Again the layout was beautiful and plenty of space for candy cart, band and props for our wedding. As the football was on quite a few guests went along to the lounge to watch the game and again all staff were complimented for making this possible and providing excellent service at the tables. The ladies of the night were able to enjoy the candy cart undisturbed and also a hired photo booth which was accommodated outside undercover and was extremely popular throughout the evening. Marius again was so helpful ensuring all guests were provided with excellent table service and the barmen sorted drinks in a quick and efficient manner with a smile on their faces. The whole evening was thoroughly enjoyed by all guests and this is thanks to the staff and helpers at the hotel.
Guests were given access to their rooms by 2pm and all guests reported back to us that their rooms were absolutely beautiful, warm, beds comfortable and showers or baths perfect for their needs. The z-beds are somewhat basic therefore better to ensure a family room is booked where possible or 2 separate rooms if more beds are needed. This was truly the only slight disadvantage we were made aware of.
In the morning a beautiful breakfast was provided in the Great Hall for all guests and again all needs were catered for. The food was delicious and plentiful and tea really refreshing. All guests were able to sit with family members whilst ensuring all covid regulations were met. Plenty of sanitisation available and masks if needed can be picked up at the reception desk.
The whole experience from start to finish exceeded our expectations and prior poor reviews should be no reflection going forward on how hard the hotel are working to improve the smooth running and quality of the services they provide. The rooms are absolutely stunning and so easy to get around the hotel. Where possible special requests are met with pleasure and acceptance and I really must recommend Marius to assist with your special event considering how hard he worked for us.
I can't recommend this hotel enough. Do not be fooled by the location. When you pull into the drive you will be amazed at the beauty.
K. L.
Really nice hotel . outside area seating very pleasant.great history about the hotel and royale visitors .owned by lord Bradford who owns Weston park.visited for wedding which was a fantastic day I would definitely like to visit hotel again .some airplane noise but not to bad otherwise I would rated it 5 stars

I’d like to thank Marius and his team at Castle Bromwich Hall Hotel for all their help on the 22nd July with my daughters wedding. Everything went so smoothly on the day, the whole team was very accommodating. Cannot praise them enough!

Thank u for making our day so epic. The day ended with fireworks, provided by the hotel. It was the end to a perfect day. Big up to Jason and his crew. Thank u.

Beautiful venue for a wedding excellent food
A. S.
Great place nice settings,but the Halls need modernising
J. N.
Beautiful hotel and grounds. My room was lovely and the staff was attentive. Only thing that let it down for me was the food.
My our starters and main ms could have been improved upon.
A. M.
I attended, to have a spa session. Having been to this venue before (for my dad's celebration of life), I knew what to expect in reference to the surroundings, staff etc.
The session was calming, relaxing just what the doctor ordered. Will definitely go back there.
J. L.
The Hall is a lovely old building and has nice gardens. However, we went for afternoon tea and that was disappointing. We were not offered a choice of sandwiches and when they were brought to us they had fillings that we did not like - such as ham and tomato with mustard, which would have been fine without the mustard - if we had been asked. Shame really - it could have been so much nicer.
S. S.
Had an absolutely fantastic night stay. So relaxed I felt like I'd been away all weekend. Would highly recommend 👌
G. F.
We broke down on the motorway and had to find a hotel quickly. Luckily we stumbled across Castle Bromwich Hall Hotel. We had to use the hotel as a base to sort out the car the day after our stay. The staff were very understanding and accommodating; the let us store our belongings securely after checkout and allowed us to work from the bar area. Thanks for the help!
d. d.
I have been to the hotel and gardens before and thoroughly enjoyed. This was my first time ad a guest in the hotel. We had a family room that sleeps four. The rooms were huge with very good facilities. Our beds were comfy, there was a tv in each room, good selection of complimentary hot drinks, iron and ironing board. The meals were lovely with big portions. Good variety of foods available for breakfast. The staff were friendly, polite and helpful. I would recommend as a place to stay.
P. F.
A surprising hotel in a location you wouldn't expect
S. C.
I really enjoyed my time here. The grounds are beautiful and the decor inside is true to an older more luxurious period in time. The food was excellent and steak is cooked as you like to perfection. The staff are very helpful and polite and it was an all round fantastic experience. The breakfast is very delicious as well. I would recommend to anyone as a place to stay if visiting Birmingham👌😀
T. M.
Booked a surprise birthday party for Sunday lunch in these wonderful surroundings and the food and service was exceptional. I was a little apprehensive as none of our guests had eaten here before but any reservations I had were unfounded as everything was exceptional. I took a cake, balloons and decorations in the day before and they decorated the table for my guests including the cake. My thanks to Sophie and all the staff for making the lunch a memorable one and for going over and above my expectations on the day. If you haven’t already visited this venue I strongly recommend it.
N. M. A.
Came here for the first time for a wedding. It was absolutely beautiful. I forgot to get a picture of the rooms but the bed was super comfy and the bathroom was spectacular. There were tea making facilities which is always a plus AND an iron in the room. Each member of staff I met was extremely polite and lovely. The breakfast was top notch. It was worth every penny as the wedding I attended was absolutely amazing! The area was so picturesque, it was also very quiet too. Considering it was my first time ever in Birmingham I had a pretty lovely time! :D
J. U.
Called in here as we were passing by on the Saturday nearest Bonfire Night last November. Decided to have a drink and watch the display. The fireworks were truly amazing probably the best and longest show I've ever seen anywhere! It was so lovely here we stayed and had a meal afterwards, the food as always was amazing, beautifully presented with great service. Thank you for a fabulous evening, next year we will stay over.
K. C.
Beautiful old house in lovely grounds...tucked away right in the heart of Birmingham! The main old house is lovingly and beautifully maintained with many original features and the ceiling in the Drawing Room is to die for! The love and work that went into making that is remarkable.
Hotel serves good food in a lovely relaxed setting. Staff friendly and helpful.
That's why we've chosen this beautiful old house for our wedding 17th June 19! (Yes they also offer function facilities).
D. S.
Areal change from standard , staff very helpful, room lovely

Fabulous Lunch. Beautiful views of the gardens Attentive staff. A hidden gem well worth a visit
P. S.
Very nice hotel. Food is basic but very well prepared. Nothing fancy. Tasted good. Great breakfast and the rooms are a good size and very clean. Good value for money. I would stay here again.
S. C.
Had a fabulous afternoon tea here with my friend. The staff and surroundings were wonderful.
S. F.
Been to two weddings here and both were great. Such a lovely building and grounds that make you feel your somewhere else, not so close to Birmingham city centre. Staff have always been friendly with plenty of people on hand to assist with queries. They do afternoon tea and dining I believe. I have never stopped overnight but have seen a room that was recently refurbished. Modern bathroom but kept the bedroom classic.
M. A.
The hotel has a very grand appearance. Large driveway to a grand entrance. Very ample parking at the rear of the hotel. The hotel has an old fashioned large country house look to it, but built behind it are other modern buildings for their hotel rooms. Food is to a high quality and is something a bit more special than your average. Would recommend their cream teas.
L. M.
Who knew this place existed! Wonderful historic building, lovely food and beautiful gardens. What's not to like!
J. P.
Looks impressive from the outside, however our room was in the dovecote a wash around the back and behind the courtyard. The room was small but functional and clean. However the little things let it down - the phone left unplugged, the headboard covered the light switch, and the light on the bathroom flickering constantly when on to name a few.
There was a wedding on which meant loud music until midnight which could be heard clearly from where we were, but was all quiet after that.
Bed was comfortable and we slept well. The shower took quite a while to get a good temperature, the knob was loose which didn't help, and it did occasionally jump to very cold or hot for a second before going back to normal. The screen door also leaked and made the floor wet.
Breakfast was quite good, a good range and nice full English, would have been 3 stars but the breakfast pulled it back up to 4.
Overall a nice stay if you're just wanting a night away.
A. S.
Beautiful building, the original oak panelled dining room with the grand fireplace is gorgeous.
Nice spaces, well thought out.
I stayed in an economy room rather than he big old rooms in the main house with the big fireplaces, but for what I paid, really nice, no complaints at all.
Food good, though not amazing. Not too expensive.
S. A.
I am so disappointed to hear that a hotel worker was sacked following yesterday's celebration of life. The music was no loud and people social distanced as required. Its just typical that because it was a black funeral there was complaints from those living in the area. To see the lies referring to it as a party disgusts me.
S. K.
Attended here for a wedding. The rooms were and relatively cheap. The food they provided was very good. The alcoholic drinks were a bit expensive. They had a lovely garden which you can walk around and a maze made out of Holly bushes. They were a bit prickly but still good fun
M. H.
This is a hidden gem. I mostly was outside as the grounds is so amazing. Wonderful place to stay or visit for a meal or drink
Will be returning as the experience was great from start to finish
J. R.
Friendly staff and a warm atmosphere
G. W.
It is a grand old building and a gracious staff. We booked a Superior Double, and were able to get an ensuite bath with a tub in the main building. We had Tea and Crumpets at 16:00 to get the entire English experience. It is a nicely appointed old building. It has a great deal of character and charm. The Ritz Carlton it is not, but to enjoy the old world experience it is perfect.
T. R.
This is a very pretty hotel and conveniently located, the staff were very friendly. This would have scored 4 stars but the " superior double" room we had was more like Harry potter's cupboard
D. D. P.
This place was UNBELIEVABLE! The staff was absolutely incredible. Lorna is the best. They offered to help with luggage and were right there for my every last need. For the price I was expecting the room to be tiny and outdated but I was wrong. My room was exceptionally large and recently remodeled. I'll be back!
J. S.
We stayed here for one night recently in the State Room - an absolutely wonderful room and wish we could have stayed longer. The staff were great, breakfast excellent but the only reason for the 4 stars was the evening menu. Very good but could do with more dynamics to it. But the rooms prices are amazing to say you are not staying in a bland box. Would highly recommend.
Z. G.
Cannot fault this place. Check in was quick room was lovely and warm, beautiful gardens and the cinnamon porridge for breakfast is just what you need on a winters morning. Staff are great too.
A. J.
Cousin wedding party on the 31st March 18. Great place food was really lovely. Staff work hard well done. We all enjoyed our selfs and lovely open garden space. Great night for partys and disco great. Thanks you again to everyone
L. N.
Enjoyed our stay here! And would recommend. Lovely and warm room, very clean, evening meal was very nice, breakfast was good too. Would definitely return.
L. T.
Beautiful hotel. Good food and great stay but lost a star due to bed mattress being so uncomfortable. All in all would stay again, in a different room!
J. L.
The facilities are excellent, very period features well preserved with the architecture of the building. I highly recommend this venue for dining and the grounds are beautiful. has many different attractions.

Warm & friendly atmosphere. Very welcoming. Excellent facilities.

Had the best afternoon, little pre wedding get together, we was well looked after, afternoon tea was lovely, hotel and staff great. Can well recommend.
M. H.
Beautiful building and surrounding gardens. Inside is a little dated in places but the rooms are comfortable and looks as though they were updated not too long ago. WiFi is also excellent here. Food is good in the restaurant, though nothing special, it's not pricey so you get what you'd expect for the price.
S. M.
The hotel was lovely and our room was nice , but I was a bit disappointed in the shower , not power to it .
G. M.
Recently attending a wedding there and couldn’t fault a thing. Venue and location are superb and overall this place ticks all the boxes. Bar staff could do with a bit more training but you get what you pay for I suppose.

Cornita Taylor health and wellbeing that is located on the grounds of the Dovecote rear end of Castle bromwich Hall Hotel is amazing. I went there today with my mum for her birthday to have a magnesium body wrap which left me and my mum feeling energised and relaxed. Would definitely recommend.
N. A.
I checked the place out when they had a 40's day on with stalls, music shows and a war musuem. The gardens were beautiful and had enough for children to enjoy to (mud kitchens in the woods). Fabulous place very peaceful and pleasant
P. C.
Surprisingly very quiet place for Sunday lunch. My roast sirloin of beef was overcooked and the quality of beef was not up to the standard for the price although the portion was reasonable. Fantastic Yorkshire pudding though. Minute pudding followed, certainly not the "Something to die for" as far as home cooked goes.
D. S.
Great place to stay. Great staff great food.great scenery. Reception girls really helpful. Food was excellent. Was going to stay 1 night. Stayed for 2weeks. Will be going back again whenever I visit England .give it a try.you won't be disappointed. With the quality and the price.
S. R.
Nice old British style property with a lot of cachet, comfortable room. One star goes away for the Wi-Fi that was not available in my room during the 3 nights I stayed. Not acceptable by today's standards.
N.
Excellent venue for a wedding. Unfortunately, it was raining harder than a downpour under the Niagara in monsoon season set in Waterworld. The chosen site for the marquee was behind the main building, which ultimately meant the less than ideal task of having to run through the rain in nice shoes to get there.
Apart from that, visual splendor abound: the venue is gorgeous and evocative of a stately home. There's parking available to the left of the main entrance with clear signage. When that's full, there's some street parking available when kerb mounted.
Recommended.

Beautiful grounds , excellent food and amazing staff.Really enjoy visiting 🥰

We stayed overnight following our sons wedding. This is a fantastic venue for a wedding but is definitely starting to look tired and frankly dirty in places and the disable access bedroom in the main building that we stayed in, is one of those places.
At first glance the bedroom with wetroom seemed fine. It was only when we started using the room you notice the problems. The bedroom carpet was frankly filthy and we made certain we didn't put bare feet on it. I lifted the net curtain at the window and found dust, dead flies and moths. The main building is extremely old and the internal window ledges of bedroom and wetroom are the original stone, unfortunately there are paint splashes all over them because no one thought of protecting them during decoration.
The house phone was in the bathroom! The bathroom had a permanently pulled down blind, as it's an original window . It's permanently down as the cord is lying on the stone sill ! There is a raised toilet but only a drop down support rail on the left side and not one for the right ! Poor thinking. The shower area has a moveable shower chair but the shower is overhead, so if you need help showering, your carer will have to get wet with you. Again poor thinking. There was rough, poorly finished grouting along the tiles by the bathroom window. Every time I needed to use the sink in the bathroom I needed to get some help, as the push lever style tap was so stiff I could not move it. The shower curtain had a broken hook/loop and 2 metal rings were on the bathroom floor. My husband picked them up and hooked the curtain as best he could.
The bed deserves a paragraph to itself! The mattress was abysmal. Any slight movement caused it to squeak, creak and ping. It was so uncomfortable and noisy that sleep was impossible. At 2am my husband suggested we got in our car, drive home and return for breakfast. I talked him out of doing so but I had little to no sleep all night but finished one book and read 15 chapters of a new book. The mattress apart from being noisy and uncomfortable, provided no support at all. Awful.
Breakfast was frankly a farce with slow service. We asked 5 times for gluten free bread for myself. On the 5th occasion the reply was "oh I'll go and see again then", it was obviously just too much trouble. When the bread eventually arrived, the 2 small slices had been defrosted in a microwave making the top slice dry on uppercase and the bottom slice dry on underside. Then my gluten free cooked breakfast arrived, with 2 burnt slices of toast but untoasted on other side! The poached egg did a good impression of a squash ball and wasn't eaten. I can honestly say the only good part of breakfast was the single flat mushroom.
There are shingle paths around the building which wheelchairs, manual and electric do not react well to, so despite having my electric chair with me , it had to stay in the car.
I feel we should have made management aware at the time of all the problems but it was our sons wedding and we didn't want to spoil their day.
F. E.
Nice place but don't go on a Groupon, get looked down on with paper napkins while the rest are linen. Makes you feel.uncomfortable. Chipped milk jug and bad marks inside cup, cannot say if everyone gets that but bad impression.
S. G.
I held my wedding here and it was a dream day. My maid of honour and I stayed the night before the wedding and had a wonderful dinner in the restaurant. I was able to watch the preparations for my wedding evolve. My husband and I stayed in the honeymoon suite which is where Queen Mary stayed when she visited Lady Bradford in the 20s/ 30s. Its so convenient for transport and Birmingham city centre but when you're in the hotel and grounds you could be in the heart of the country.
N. D.
Great hotel, lovely and very accommodating staff, good prices.

The excellent staff put on a fabulous buffet for my mum's Life Celebration following her funeral. Nothing was too much trouble and the room was beautiful. Many thanks to all concerned. Mel Starkey and family.

Wonderful old mansion full of oak panelling and character food was excellent as well as the room and service

Fabulous food in a fabulous setting.
Atep back into bygone times in the iak panelled dining room, with silver service.
A real touch of elegance.
Staff and food matched the quality of the venue. Highly recommended.

Castle Bromwich Hall hall is a Grade I listed building and was built around 1599 for Sir Edward Devereux. The hall has 10 acres on the estate which includes formal gardens. The Castle Bromwich Hall Estate remained in the ownership of the Earl of Bradford until 1969.
The last private resident of Castle Bromwich Hall was Lady Ida Bridgeman, Dowager Countess of Bradford, who lived there from 1869 until her death in 1936. She was once 'Lady of the Bedchamber' to Queen Mary, who visited frequently.
illustrious and distinguished guests to the hall included Duke and Duchess of York (later King George V and Queen Mary), Prince and Princess Christian (Queen Victoria's grand-daughter), the Duke and Duchess of Teck (Queen Mary's parents), Prince Arthur (Queen Victoria's son)and the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge (another son of Queen Victoria and his wife).
Prime Minister Benjamin Disraeli stayed on more than one occasion. Rumour has it he was courting Lady Chesterfield and Lady Bradford. His visits became that frequent that Castle Bromwich Post office was first to have a telephone installed outside London so Disraeli could keep abreast with the government.
In October 2019 Jason Whyte was appointed General Manager and promised exciting times ahead. As good as his word one of the regular events on a Friday evening is Steak Night. Two eight-ounce steaks and a bottle of wine for £24.95. We visited on Friday the 17th of January. The ambience of the building is delightful and we found the staff polite, attentive and helpful. When our steaks arrived each one was perfectly cooked with hand-cut chips and flat mushrooms. All in all an excellent experience and I can guarantee we will be visiting again soon.

The room used was OK although the hotel did not seem to know on arrival we had one booked. After some rushing about however we had a nice room and coffees provided for our meeting.
S. L.
Lovely place and wonderful people!
S. J.
Wonderfull place. let down by the chef the door could have been better and the head barman was rude to his staff in front of us which was uncalled for as the staff couldn't do enough for us they were fantastic still 5 star though

We had a Christmas meal. As a vegan, I found the selection was quite basic. All of the courses were quite odd tasting, and I am guessing with someone who isn't vegan making the menu. For instance, the chocolate "cake" should have been served with a sweeter sorbet to counteract the bitterness of the dark chocolate. Orange sorbet did not compliment it all. The starter of foccacia with olive oil was horribly dry, and the oils incredibly bitter and flavourless. There was no alternative to the non-vegan mince pies during coffee after the meal, and so I had to recommend maybe cutting up some fruit, to which I received a few slices of apple and two segments of orange..

Castle Bromwich hall is a beautiful 17th-ish century house which has been quite wonderfully restored to its former glory after years of neglect.
Visiting for Sunday lunch to celebrate my grandmothers birthday the food was nice and the staff generally very friendly and accommodating.
The immediate grounds are beautiful and a short walk will take you to the fabulous hall gardens, run independently to the hall.
W. L.
Lovely old building. Went for afternoon tea today. Nice selection of sandwiches, cakes and scone with jam and cream. Service very good, nothing to much trouble.

The room was very small.Desperately needs a retouch of paint.Bed was a small double which was a surprise as we paid more for a better room.Bar food ok but chips were undercooked and creme brulee in a very shallow dish which was disappointing.

Lovely place and staff are nice but charging so much for drinks is really poor, people come to celebrate a already expensive day that the bride and groom have forked out loads for and then the guests get ripped off.
