The Littleton Arms

What guests think

At The Littleton Arms, travelers frequently praise the friendly, helpful staff, generous and tasty breakfasts, and spacious, comfortable rooms, alongside a convenient central Penkridge location with on-site parking and a lively pub-restaurant atmosphere.

However, reviews also note intermittent heating and hot water problems, some tired decor amid ongoing redecorations, and occasional noise from the bar or terrace, especially on busy nights. A few guests experienced patchy reception, imperfect table service, or difficulty reaching staff out of hours. Expect a characterful inn stay with great food and a bustling vibe.

Warm welcome at a traditional inn, great food and beer and comfortable room. Had the option of a night in Birmingham at a characterless chain hotel or 30 mins on the train, short walk past the bowling green and church and a night in a pleasant small hotel at a fraction of the cost!

The room was spacious and comfortable and particularly cosy, though a bit noisy on a Saturday night due to the restaurant and terrace below. There was no night porter and no where to return the keys before 7 AM. There was a very generous selection of tea, coffee and hot chocolat in the room.

It looks like this place was nice a few years ago, my room was in need of modernising and a coat of paint. It looked like they were short staffed, the restaurant was busy. Good beer. Just not very welcoming and looked a bit run down. seemed very popular though. I can't understand why some places only offer cooked breakfasts at the weekend, don't be fooled by this when you book, only continental available.

I was in room 7, a lovely spacious room with huge sash windows. It does need a little TLC but then it is an old building. The issue for me was lack of sleep. The curtains were paper thin so broad daylight at 5am. Also the fire exit was by my door and used by staff so this was slammed several times late at night. The toilet made a weird loud noise (like a lorry horn!) every 15 mins. So just as I was dropping off I got woken up. Not ideal.

We stayed one night in room 5. The room was nice on arrival. Unfortunately the heating didnt work. The staff were helpful and brought a small portable heater but it wasnt really up to the task. We had to go to the front desk a couple of times as the water didnt get hot in the shower. The food and the staff were great but were let down by the room. They were clearly doing work on the facilities but we didnt feel room 5 was good enough for guests.
