Achill Guest House

Strange not having a lockable entrance door. Lack of milk - none left in communal area on Sunday morning. Bedroom big and bright. Disappointed that no bath when details said there was. Clean and tidy

I arrived at the property very late as my flight had been delayed. I had been told that it would not be a problem to check in. I found a note with instructions which was thoughtful and helpful. The bed was soft and comfy, my room spacious and clean , it had an ensuite bathroom with a nice bath. My room was quite and spacious. Thank you for the noce experience.

We stayed at Achill Guest House for one night before starting a canal boat trip from Alvechurch Marina. We appreciated that it is a family-run guest house with a funky charm one doesn’t find in a chain hotel, even if the walls are a little thin and we could hear our neighbors a little bit. Bed on the soft side but still slept well. Good location very close to a charming high street with Tudor era buildings, a pretty parish church and dining and breakfasting options (the bakery is fabulous). Very friendly and helpful owner.

Everything was as described and being able to use a fridge and microwave proved very useful. The owner was excellent providing us with everything that we needed. Highly recommend.

Our 2 night stay in Knowle Knowle is a lovely town with some great pubs and restaurants, the host was friendly and couldn't do enough for us, the room was clean and had everything we needed, beds very comfy. We could hear other guests in nearby rooms but it didn't bother us too much. The front door and entrance was very worn and didn't create the best first impression, but it wasn't expensive so we didn't mind. This town is really handy for the NEC and airport if you have a car, it saved us going into the City for food in the evenings.

Achill Guest House Achill Guest House was nice and in a good location to explore. It was centrally located to various locations around Birmingham. Upon arrival, the host was hard to reach. She did not answer the doorbell or the phone at first. On the third call she came out and showed us to our room. She was very enthusiastic about her home and the area around it. The room was relatively clean. There were a few bugs and the towels were stained. The host did quickly replace them. The disco bath was funny but the shower curtain did have some mold spots on it which was unfortunate because there was no avoiding touching it due to how the shower was set up. On the second night, another guest parked in two spaces leaving no space for our car. We were able to get a spot on a side road near the home. There was also no hot water. We called the host multiple times before she picked up. She said she was out and told us to run the water because it takes a few min to turn on. There was still no hot water. She was out so her husband had to turn on the hot water. She seemed frustrated with us that the tank ran out despite us not being in for several hours that night. She said her tank held enough for 5 houses. Eventually the hot water returned at nearly midnight. The host did not further accommodate or acknowledge the issue despite knowing this was a work trip with early mornings. Reasonable stay but likely will not return.
