A place to indulge :
Simpsons, on the edge of Birmingham, is one of the English Midland's finest restaurants. It's definitely worth making a trip for. But how boring for one of your party to have to be the designated driver when the restaurant has such a fine wine list. Why not stay the night in one of Simpson's deeply romantic rooms.
Victorian spaciousness:
Those Victorians really knew how to live it large. High ceilings, enormous, airy rooms with big sash windows to let in loads of light. And bathtubs! You could have a party some of them!
The four rooms at Simpsons range from the frivoulously romantic French Room and Venetian Room to the smart and luxurious Oriental and Colonial Rooms. All have recently refurbished bathrooms. Most have enormous tubs and all have sparkling glass showers.
The luxury extras:
- Fluffy bathrobes and slippers
- Molton Brown toiletries
- Digital TV and DVD
- A welcome basket of fruit, mineral water and petit fours
Do you need an excuse?:
This is a great place for a celebration getaway but you needn't wait for a special occasion because there plenty of other good reasons to combine a stay with a visit to Birmingham:
- Top off a few days of intensive Birmingham shopping with a luxury treat.
- Congratulate yourself for a smart buy in the Jewellery Quarter
- Soak up some culture at Ikon or visit the Pre-Raphaelites at BMAG.
- Or just stick around and take a cooking class from Simpsons' talented chefs.
