With an impressive claim to fame as the oldest inhabited moated manor house in England, the 12th-century New Hall Hotel & Spa is set in 26 acres of tranquil parkland, yet Birmingham city centre and airport are just a short drive away. Sympathetically restored period features, such as stained-glass windows and oak panelling play backdrop to modern technology in the hotel’s six function rooms. The handsome Great Chamber, originally built in 1542 for Henry VIII’s visit to Sutton Coldfield, is the standout space, but each room has its own charm. Up to 8 guests can enjoy private dining in the Oak Room – once the secret study of New Hall’s resident alchemist – or hire the 200-capacity Garden Pavilion. The 60 bedrooms (all of which have been recently refurbished) are all comfortably furnished. The hotel’s spa, which features Comfort Zone treatments and an indoor pool, is a relaxing place to unwind.
