Old Hall Country House. Madeley
On Staffordshire’s border with Cheshire lies the small village of Madeley, and it is here that one of England’s most historic places to stay is situated -
Offering only a handful of rooms, there may be more historic significance per square foot here than in any other hotel, inn or other accommodation property anywhere in the country. After all, only those who stay in the King Charles II room can claim to have as their closet the very place where the then Prince Regent hid from Roundhead troops. In fact, the very shelf upon which he is said to have laid his cross and bible is still in existence.

Dunsley Hall. Parts of this attractive old house are said to date back to the fifteenth century, and much of its period features have been retained during the conversion to boutique hotel. It offers ten rooms in all, and provides a more rural accommodation option for those visiting the West Midlands – Birmingham, Stourbridge, Kidderminster, Dudley and Halesowen are all nearby.
