Kenilworth is a beautiful town situated in the heart of the Warwickshire countryside and steeped in a wealth of English history. A mention in the Domesday Book reveals that the Kenilworth of 1086 was a very different place to the town it is today. Over the past 900 years it has grown from an agricultural settlement of 100 to a thriving town of 24,000.

It is easy to access from all the main motorway routes and makes it the ideal weekend or holiday destination. The cottage is the perfect base to explore Warwickshire as Stratford-upon-Avon; famous for being Shakespeare's birthplace, Warwick; famous for it's castle and Leamington Spa; great for shopping, are only a short drive away. Kenilworth is also handy for the NEC and the NAC. If you crave a little bit of city life, an excellent local train station is only 10 minutes away with regular trains to Birmingham. Venturing further a field, you will find The Cotswolds a little over half an hour away. |

The town centre boasts many independent businesses, making it an interesting place to shop. It is host to many bars and restaurants and is fast becoming renowed for its quality of fine dining. You will find sample menus at the cottage on your arrival covering a range of local eating places. Many of the restaurants get booked over the weekend, so we do recommend pre-booking if possible and we are happy to organise this for you, just contact us. |
| The real beauty of Kenilworth is that you are never far from the countryside. There are an abundance of walks, many with a country pub at the end! You will find a book of walks in the cottage which has been published by the Kenilworth Footpath Preservation Group |
