A colourful new guide aims to make choosing where to stay in Bromsgrove easy.

The latest edition of the Bromsgrove and District Where to Stay guide, published by the district council, is now available from the Tourist Information Centre in Birmingham Road. The fold-up leaflet is packed with useful information to help visitors make the most of their stay in Bromsgrove and its rural surroundings.

With pictures and a map, it highlights a range of accommodation ranging from four star hotels, guest houses and motels, to cottages, caravan sites and self-catering.

Rosemary Clarke, Bromsgrove District Council's marketing and tourism manager, said; "The guide features only hotels accredited in the National Accommodation Assessment Scheme, which is an overall rating system adopted by Visit Britain, formerly the English Tourism Council, the AA and the RAC."

To make it even easier to stay here, the Bromsgrove Tourist Information Centre offers an accommodation booking service, on 01527 831809, for just a small charge.
