This is where I will...
Liked: This was the best! Our host was great! Breakfast was a perfect English breakfast and made to order. My friend doesn't eat red meat, so her breakfast was made to perfection as well. Upon arriving, we were offered dinner. Again, dietary needs were met and she received a beautifully cooked salmon steak. Each morning was a delight to share conversation with other guests, watch birds being fed and the occasional visit from Miss Mindy, the house canine. A visit to the farmers market was a special treat for me. The room was spacious, allowing for privacy for each of us.
Disliked: It's a bit of a distance from certain things but nothing a short walk, an uber or taxi couldn't remedy.

Two day stay.
Liked: We where attending a funeral and this place was only a short drive to crematorium. Also close to Knowle where there is lots of eateries and shops.Set in lovely quiet street.Good breakfast.
Disliked: We felt this place was in need of a deep clean. Carpets in particular need cleaned or changed. Furnishings and fittings very dated. Towels and bedding seemed really old, need changed.

Great place if at NEC...
Liked: Great location to access NEC - short drive and pass supermarket before motorway to stock up on food. Breakfast was great - cereal then hot full english or sausage/bacon sandwich with hot drink. Other residents friendly and overall welcoming.Bernard will be as helpful as he can and give idea's where to eat locally for evening meal etc.Competitive price - had kettle in room with tea bag/coffee + offered milk jug and plenty of hot water for shower.
Disliked: A little dated in places - its homely, but not hotel standards - if you are fussy, its not for you.

Overall, a very pleasant stay and I would book again if in the area.
Liked: Bernard (the host) does a superb breakfast and he also accommodated my request for packed lunches. Nothing too much trouble for him and very chatty; made me feel very welcome. Room had all the basics you could ever need, including a fridge. The property is in a really nice location with a selection of pubs nearby, and is situated close to the M42. Off-road parking is a bonus, too.
Disliked: If I was to be picky, the curtains weren't quite wide enough for the window in the room I had when they're shut. Also, I would've preferred a bath to a shower but that's just personal preference.

Very good
Liked: Hospitality of the owner was exceptional, any problems or requests were attended to straight away.
Disliked: Shower cubicle was too small, toilet too close to a wall and the whole of the shower room was far too small. I believe that the property was in need of a refurbishment, but for the short stay we had it was satisfactory. The owner was an extremely good cook and invited us to evening meals when he was doing them and they were beautiful.
