Hampton Manor

Luxury countryside retreat just minutes from the music

Modern British style meets historic charm at Hampton Manor, a boutique lifestyle hotel nestled in the quiet village of Hampton-in-Arden. Set on a lush estate with mature woodland and a working kitchen garden, the property blends rustic elegance with artisan touches and seasonal dining. With just 15 Manor House rooms, 5 Walled Garden Suites, and a private 4-bedroom cottage, this is a serene hideaway that’s still only 3 miles from Birmingham International Station and NEC concert venues.

Why Concert-goers love it

Location is key: Hampton Manor is under 10 minutes by car or train from Birmingham NEC and nearby live music venues. Yet, it's far enough to offer a peaceful post-show escape. Guests love the quiet countryside vibe after a loud night out. Trains from the local station connect directly to Birmingham’s main music hubs and London Euston, and flexible check-in from 15:00 makes arrival easy even before an early evening gig.

Who this Hotel is great for

• Groups of friends wanting a stylish base with space to unwind
• Solo travelers treating themselves to a concert and countryside calm
• Couples planning a romantic gig weekend
• Fans who want to recover in peace and quiet after the encore
• Budget-conscious music lovers who value quality experiences over city-center chaos

Food and Drink Options

Hampton Manor is a dream for foodies. Enjoy two destination restaurants on-site: the relaxed, fire-cooked fare of Smoke and the immersive, multi-course tasting adventure at Grace & Savor. From January 2023, guests can also enjoy an informal all-day dining menu in the Manor House. Fresh bread from the estate’s own micro bakery adds a cozy, homemade touch. While not open 24/7, the dining options are thoughtfully designed for those arriving late from a show.

Nightlife Options

You're not booking Hampton Manor for a party scene—but that's the point. After the concert, retreat back to a chill atmosphere with craft wines and countryside calm. For those who want a nightcap, nearby Solihull and Birmingham are just a short ride away with bars, lounges, and local pubs. The hotel itself focuses more on fine dining and relaxed evenings than late-night revelry.

What People Say

Guests rave about the exceptional service, uniquely styled rooms, and serene surroundings. Reviewers love the connection to nature, seasonal menus, and the hospitality that feels both luxe and down-to-earth. Many highlight how refreshing it is to stay somewhere quiet and beautiful after a loud, high-energy concert.

Areas for Improvement

While the rural setting is part of the charm, it does mean you’ll need a taxi or car for late-night returns—there aren’t many walkable nightlife spots. Also, while the vibe is luxurious, this isn’t your place for 24/7 room service or club beats. Think more slow mornings with fresh bread than post-concert parties.

The Bottom Line

If you want a stylish, peaceful stay near the Birmingham music scene, Hampton Manor delivers with charm, comfort, and a touch of foodie flair.
