Quirky Hotels South of Birmingham - Recommendation

Post by Iain » Thu Mar 30, 2017 11:36 am

Guys

Quick one - Looking for a quirky / funky type of hotel for next weekend around 2hrs drive from Stonehenge

Crazy bear isn't available, don't fancy Malmaison - anything like that anyone can recommend, appreciate it; my knowledge outside of London hotels is limited at best!!

Cheers. :bigwave:

Why not look around the Cotswolds or even Stratford. Much nicer than Brum mate.

Three ways hotel (Pudding club) is nice, as long as you can get in. Stayed at a few in Stow-on-the-Wold too, have a search on trip advisor :thumbs:

How about the Ettington Park hotel just south of Stratford on Avon? Stratford is a lovely town to visit.

Or if you want more urban, how about the Rotunda in Brum? Lots happening in town, some of it survivable.

Nor me, but some people are weird.

Some excellent driving roads around Stratford. Watch out for insane M3 drivers round there. :sekret:
