Top 10 Railway View Hotels

We booked a special dinner for a ruby anniversary celebration at the barns. The entire experience from booking to the meal itself was simply beyond 5 star. The entire staff couldn’t do enough for us, it made a special occasion even better. We were all so impressed. Initially the special couple had booked a small family gathering downstairs, but we decided to secretly invite more people and move the celebrations to the private dining room upstairs where we could decorate and make the evening unforgettable. At every point, nothing was too much for the staff. From pre preparation over email to when we got there. The staff were all well prepped and ready for us to help decorate and set the table to how we liked it. The pre ordered food was no bother and even the specific requests were all correct and bang on. The food…wow! Some of the best we’ve all had, all served hot and all came out together, the kitchen staff obviously worked very hard to get all plates out so efficiently. These days, good service is hard to come by in hospitality but this team aren’t good, they are great! It’s so refreshing to see a young work force behave so professionally and act so kindly for such a large table. Thank you to all the team for making our evening a night to remember and so special, we will recommend The Barns to anyone that listens, an absolute delightful and incredible evening. Just wonderful

Great value for the money with wonderful restaurant

I stayed here during my 2023 John O'Groats to Lands End ride, when I was accompanied by my wife and 13 year old son, who were acting as support crew. The Oak Farm Hotel is a relatively large wedding venue just off the main road.  It is very accessible from the M6 with a spacious and sprawling car park.  We shared an ensuite family room with double and single bed. The bathroom was large and a little dated – unless you like the 90s vibe - with bath, shower and very noisy extractor fan which sounded like the room was about to take off. The staff were very friendly and helpful. A traditional breakfast buffet is available in the bistro with a self-service cooked breakfast and only a few healthier options.  Due to the family aspect of this hotel, we found the dining room  - and indeed our stay - to be a little noisy with young children enjoying their adventure away. Bistro was closed in the evening when we stayed so we cannot comment on dinner. However, the menu looked appetising. We found a McDonalds and other fast food or family friendly outlets within easy driving distance of the hotel. The bike stored was locked away in the board room just off the reception area at the front so it was easily accessible in the morning.   A remote controlled gate secures access to the venue.

We arrived at about 10pm on the way up to Glasgow, and decided to stop and get a good nights sleep, which I'm glad we did as it was the best nights sleep in a hotel for the next 5 nights. The room was quite basic, but as it was for a stopover we didn't mind at all. We would definitely look out for Days Inn hotels when travelling in the future. There was no breakfast but as the hotel adjoins services this was no problem. Had a lovely Leon breakfast. Car parking is included in the room price too so overall very good value.

We had a great stay at Holiday Inn Birmingham North-Cannock. We loved the fact that we were allocated a room on a high floor. The location is perfect with easy access to the motorway. The rooms were clean, modern and spacious. Breakfast was tasty and plentiful, we were still able to have a full English breakfast however, it was delivered to the room due to the current social distancing rules, which was great, breakfast in bed! We were able to dine in the restaurant in the evening which was nice, they had a great selection of flavoured Gins also! The staff were amazing and clearly explained all the new COVID procedures; we felt totally safe and well looked after. Thank you Holiday Inn!
