Lichfield North East (A38) hotel

What a great hotel just off the A38, NE of Lichfield. Yes, the rooms look a little tired, but they were clean, quiet and comfortable. The young woman who we dealt with was excellent. Thinking her name is Chloe, she called me today to tell me my lost keys had been found and she was going to send them. A great place for a visit to the NMA, overnight there and get to see more.

This is obviously not a five star hotel, but it suited our needs very well. Good sized room.. Clean and tidy. Well equipped. Very friendly and helpful at reception. Easy booking in. 12.00 check out time great. As guests we were given 20% discount at the Fradley Arms next door for breakfast, which was great, but saw nothing during booking process or at reception to indicate that would be the case. Did not realise in advance that the Fradley Arms only does breakfast Friday, Saturday and Sunday - luckily we were there on a Saturday. Good to see porridge and cereal being offered at the hotel reception; not sure that was advertised in advance. Ours was just a one night stay, so we could attend a wedding reception at Alrewas Hayes. The hotel is only about 2 miles away and so is very convenient and other wedding quests stayed too. Found the AA route planner not too helpful for getting to/from Alrewas Hayes (AH). Going to AH from the hotel was straight forward, but coming back it said you have to go on the A38, which is NOT the case. You can come back just doing the reverse of going, which is shorter and avoids major roads (which was an issue for us because my wife did not want to drive on the A38 at night).

This is an excellent location for a festival we attend at Catton Park and we have stayed here several times. It was great to see that the restaurant next door is back open and we enjoyed an excellent evening meal there. That restaurant (The Fradley Arms), whilst not part of the premier inn, also offers breakfast on Fri-Sun and whilst we did not eat breakfast it is great to know that facility is available again. The rooms are always very comfortable and it is appreciated that 2 fans were provided as there is no air conditioning. We stay here due to the location so facilities are not high on our list: I can see that it is not as updated as other hotels but that doesn’t matter for us. What is absolutely excellent, however, is the warm welcome and customer service from the staff, at any time of the day or night! This has been true every time we have stayed here and is absolutely consistent with every person you speak to at the hotel. The night manager was especially helpful following an overnight incident this stay and I hope I shall be able to nominate him for recognition within the community itself. Thank you for another fabulous stay!

Lovely place to stay after a long day of head banging at Bloodstock, staff are always cheerful even at night when you roll in looking like a member of KISS has been sifting through a bin. Definitely recommend.

Relatively small Premier Inn. Rooms are clean but very dated, you even get given a key for your room instead of a card which is a rarity these days. Staff were nice and welcoming. The hotel Seems to be stuck in the late 90s early 2000s. Bathroom was small and in need a revamp plus the TV in the room was tiny compared to 2025 standards. Not enough plug sockets, non near the headrest of the bed or that side of the room. No restaurant attached so you can't get the usual cooked breakfast, but they offer cereal and porridge etc at the reception. The pub next door (The Fradley Arms Bar and Grill) serves an Indian menu and apparently do offer a breakfast in the mornings but this isn't associated with the Premier Inn.
