Broadwell Guest House

Charming Village Guesthouse Just Minutes from the Action

Modern comfort meets countryside calm at Broadwell Guest House, a welcoming stay located in the scenic village of Meriden. Just a 5-minute drive from Birmingham’s National Exhibition Centre (NEC), this cozy guesthouse offers a relaxing alternative to city hotels, with free onsite parking, free WiFi, and a spacious garden to unwind in. The vibe? Friendly, peaceful, and refreshingly down-to-earth.

Why Concert-goers love it

If your night ends with a stadium encore, you'll love being just a quick drive away from the NEC, making late-night returns a breeze. The quiet village location means you’ll get a good night’s sleep after the show, and with flexible check-in from 16:00, there’s time to settle in before the music starts. While public transport is limited in the village, free parking with CCTV makes this an easy choice for drivers.

Who this Hotel is great for

- Groups of friends looking for an affordable and peaceful retreat
- Solo travelers needing a safe, quiet space after a big night
- Couples making a weekend of it near Birmingham
- Fans who want to relax and recharge post-concert
- Budget-conscious music lovers who don’t mind being just outside the city

Food and Drink Options

Start the day right with a full English breakfast served in the bright breakfast room, complete with garden views. While there’s no on-site restaurant for late-night bites, there are local pubs and eateries nearby in Meriden, and Birmingham’s food scene is just a short drive away. Tea and coffee facilities in every room help you wind down at your pace.

Nightlife Options

This isn’t the place for on-site DJ sets, but that’s exactly why some guests pick it. After a high-energy night out, Broadwell Guest House offers a calm, quiet space to recharge. For pre- or post-show drinks, you’ll find traditional pubs in walking distance, or head into Birmingham for more nightlife.

What People Say

Guests consistently praise the cleanliness, friendly service, and relaxing atmosphere. Many love the location for NEC events, noting the easy drive and peaceful surroundings. The breakfast gets high marks, and reviewers appreciate the value for money.

Areas for Improvement

It’s not the place for party seekers—there’s no bar or restaurant on-site, and public transport options are limited, so having a car is helpful. Some guests mention that rooms are basic, but most agree they’re clean and comfortable.

The Bottom Line

For concert-goers headed to the NEC who want a quiet, budget-friendly stay with free parking and a warm welcome, Broadwell Guest House hits all the right notes.
