Best Western Plus Windmill Village Hotel

Country Comfort Close to the Action

Modern comfort meets countryside charm at the Best Western Plus Windmill Village Hotel, located just outside Coventry. This laid-back retreat offers a mix of stylish rooms—some with golf course views, others with historic character thanks to the original coaching inn’s timber beams. With a peaceful atmosphere and great on-site amenities like an 18-hole golf course, spa, and indoor pool, it’s a relaxing home base that’s still within easy reach of Birmingham’s top venues and the NEC.

Why Concert-goers love it

Music fans love the hotel’s easy access to the NEC and Birmingham venues, thanks to its convenient location just off the A45. The free on-site parking makes driving in for a show hassle-free, and those looking to wind down after a big night will appreciate the serene countryside setting. With a 14:00 check-in and 11:00 check-out, there’s enough flexibility to enjoy a lie-in after a late concert. The quiet lodge-style and traditional rooms also offer a welcome escape from the city buzz.

Who this Hotel is great for

• Groups of friends looking for a comfortable, scenic base
• Solo travelers heading to a bucket-list gig at the NEC

Food and Drink Options

Late-night cravings? The hotel’s Cellar Bar serves up traditional pub fare and real ales in a cozy setting. For something more refined, the Loft18 Restaurant offers sweeping views of the golf course and countryside—perfect for a pre-show dinner or post-concert brunch. While there’s no 24/7 room service, the on-site options and nearby eateries make it easy to grab a bite whenever hunger strikes.

Nightlife Options

While the hotel itself is more about winding down than partying up, its Cellar Bar is a great spot for a relaxed drink with friends. For those looking to keep the night going, nearby Coventry and Birmingham offer plenty of bars, clubs, and lounges within a short drive or cab ride.
