Romantic hotel within 2hrs Birmingham

[anonymous-user]

Hi all, I'm looking for a nice romantic hotel for a short 1/2 night break in a couple of weeks. I want something unique and trendy within a 2 hour drive of Birmingham. Happy to go anywhere as long as its pretty and has nice walks. Any advice on places to look at please?

No connection with this hotel group, but always been very impressed with them. Not sure if York's a bit far for you, but there are other locations (including Brum) : http://www.hotelduvin.com/locations/york/

Thanks, I've stayed at the one in brum and the York one looks great. Thanks very much. It's not too far but definitely in the short list.

Ettington Park Hotel

Amazing food, lovely grounds surrounding, nice rooms. We are planning our second trip.

I was disappointed there

Op, you could look at the Cotswolds I know the hotels around Broadway

Russells in Broadway, also great food
Buckland Manor, Buckland, more traditional luxury but very nice, not cheap
Lygon Arms, Broadway
Dormy House, just above Broadway. Again good food, nice hotel, used it for my 40th Birthday bash
There is a nice hotel in the Slaughters (I forget its name)
Le Manoir de Quatre Saisons (nearer to Oxford, very good food)

Poor meal, refusal to do room service even a simple sandwich, cold room with ineffective heating, plug missing from bathroom, hot water was only lukewarm

Just looked at trip advisor and others say the same.

But lovely building, great grounds

Oh and the worlds slowest check in
