Stay in a beautifully restored thatched cottage built around 1713, blending historic character with modern comfort. The rear stone wall dates back to the 12th century and is a protected monument, while parts of Kenilworth Castle can be seen from the garden. Set beside a 68-acre nature reserve, the cottage is perfectly placed to enjoy peaceful walks and wildlife. Just a few minutes’ stroll brings you to Kenilworth’s Old Town, home to cosy pubs, stylish bars, and restaurants — including The Cross, our local Michelin-starred favourite. Within easy reach of Warwick Castle, Stratford-upon-Avon, Warwick University, and Jaguar Land Rover, this is an ideal base for exploring Warwickshire’s history and countryside. Kenilworth Station is only 1 mile away, offering direct links to Coventry and Leamington Spa. Please note: a minimum stay of 2 nights applies.
