Quaint pub dating from around 1729 in the Gunsmith quarter of Birmingham. As I was waiting outside to check in, there was a walking group from a historical tour who passed by and the leader gave a commentary on the pub. Booked a triple room with en-suite which also had coffee making facilities. The pub will store your luggage for you. The only problem was that you cannot check in until 12 noon, and I needed to check in luggage before then as I had an event to attend and couldn’t take the luggage with me, so had to miss the first part of my event….Pub is about a18-20 minute walk from New Street station via various underpasses and near to Aston university campus. Once you have checked in, there are emergency contact numbers, the Wi-Fi code and a details of a local taxi firm on the back of a door, most of which would have been useful to have had prior to checking in! Friendly staff helped me with my luggage as there were quite a few steps to navigate and no lift. Didn’t get chance for a drink in the bar, but it’s full of character with lots of crockery on display!
