What do you get if you combine a comfortable hotel and an award winning restaurant with a health club and a luxurious spa? Well Fairlawns of course, a lovely, family owned refuge near Walsall that offers its guests all that's required for a very enjoyable stay.

Whether you require their chefs to prepare a five-course dinner or a simple working lunch, you will be offered an imaginative choice of essentially English dishes influenced by flavours from around the world. Consistently high standards have contributed to the AA rosettes, which have been awarded for ten consecutive years.

Expect to find delights such as smoked wild River Tay salmon, corn fed chicken confit, English lobster served hot with garlic butter, roast chateaubriand of local beef, and homemade pasta, all complemented by classic and modern wines.

A platter of English cheeses, dry fruits and celery, Carr's water biscuits and Orkney oatcakes never fail to please.
