Bitteswell with Bittesby Holidays

I found the Plough and Harrow very charming. I stayed 3 nights; Friday through Sunday. At no time was it noisy or uncomfortable. There are no elevators but since there is only one upper floor, that was no big problem. The hotel wraps around in a horseshoe shape and there are minor steps up and down to get to my room, but another guest told me that I could have gone the other way around, which I never did. The full English breakfast was very nice, and some of my friends had their various cheeses and pastries, coffees, teas, and juices all in the elegant main dining area. Within easy walking distance were several interesting pubs and restaurants. The Physician was notable among them, although the High Field restaurant was also pleasant. Also, within short walking distance is the tram that gets you into town, one way for 2.50 GBP (also known as Quids), or 5 Quid for the day. In town, I went to the Old Crown pub, the oldest in Birmingham, and it did not disappoint.

Very friendly host.
