Haymills Guesthouse is situated around 10-15 minutes from the M42 motorway and the NEC on the A452. The driveway is around 30 metres past the garden centre with the high brick wall (I missed it first time and had to back round). The large, gravel driveway has ample parking.
Jamie, the host is very welcoming and as he wasn't at the property when I arrived, explained how to get in and how to find my room over the phone.
The room is of an average size and was spotlessly clean, (we had a twin) with forward facing wardrobe (plenty of hangers), large chest of drawers, small desk and chair that had the TV on. Small ensuite - the shower looked a little tired, but when the water came through, it was hot and did the job. Towels and shower gel are provided.
There is only one towel rail in the bathroom and no other hooks to hang clothes/towels on.
The beds were comfortable with two pillows and there was an extra cover on top of the wardrobe and an oil filled radiator to top up the room heat if needed.
There is a light, airy lounge for guests to use; the dining room can also be used for your own food if needed. There is a coffee machine available 24/7 for guest use.
Being 10 minutes from NEC, it's a great location. Jamie booked us a taxi (cost £9) and we used a black cab to return (£16). There is a small Sainsburys and lots of eateries around a mile down the road in Balsall Common, though we used just eat for takeaway and visited Ye Olde Saracens Pub (expensive, but worth it)
