Nestled within 400 acres of the beautiful Lickey Hills, the Old Rose & Crown Hotel offers a tranquil escape with individually decorated en-suite rooms, many boasting spectacular views. This historic coaching inn, with origins stretching back over 300 years when it served as a courthouse, provides a unique blend of historical charm and modern comfort just a 15-minute drive from Birmingham city centre. Guests can enjoy complimentary breakfast and Wi-Fi, with ample free parking making it an easy base for exploring. The grounds themselves feature the River Arrow, channelled into a series of waterfalls and pools, creating a picturesque backdrop. It’s a place where stagecoaches once rested before the challenging climb up Rose Hill, and later, a property gifted to the people of Birmingham by the Cadbury family.
Beyond the hotel's immediate comforts, direct access to Lickey Hills Country Park invites exploration of its walking trails, bridleways, and the renowned Lickey Hills Golf Course right on the doorstep. The park also features a children's adventure playground and a viewpoint at Beacon Hill, offering panoramic vistas. For those looking further afield, the hotel's convenient location, just five minutes from the M5 and M42 motorways, puts attractions like Cadbury World, the Black Country Living Museum, and the West Midlands Safari Park within easy reach. Whether you're seeking outdoor pursuits like mountain biking and kiting, a round of golf, or a convenient point for regional sightseeing, this historic inn provides a welcoming and scenic haven.
