The Spotlight on The Bulls Head by Innkeeper's Collection

Charming Countryside Stay with City Access

Modern convenience meets countryside charm at The Bulls Head by Innkeeper's Collection, a beautifully restored 17th-century coaching inn in Meriden. With exposed beams, crackling real fires, and a traditional pub downstairs, this hotel offers a cosy and peaceful atmosphere—just a 20-minute drive from the heart of Birmingham and only 10 minutes from major venues like the NEC.
Elegant rooms feature neutral tones, tea and coffee facilities, and complimentary toiletries, making it an ideal base whether you're catching a gig or winding down after one.

Why Concert-goers love it

It’s hard to beat the location—just a short drive or cab ride to the Birmingham NEC, Resorts World Arena, and other top venues. Despite being so close to the action, the hotel is tucked away in a quiet village, meaning low noise levels for a restful night after the encore. With a 12:00 check-out, you can sleep in without stress after a late night. The hotel’s proximity to both Birmingham and Coventry also makes getting around easy, especially with ride-share and taxi options readily available.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends looking for a laid-back base near the venue
  • Solo travelers checking off a bucket-list artist
  • Couples wanting a quiet weekend escape with a live music highlight
  • Fans needing recovery time in a peaceful setting
  • Budget-conscious travelers who don’t want to sacrifice charm or comfort

Food and Drink Options

The on-site Bulls Head Village Pub & Kitchen serves up hearty, seasonal pub food and real ales all day—great for a pre-show meal or post-show pint. While there’s no mention of 24/7 room service, tea and coffee in-room and the on-site restaurant mean you're covered for casual bites. Breakfast is available, perfect for refueling after a late night.

Nightlife Options

While the hotel itself doesn’t offer live music, you’ll find plenty nearby at the NEC and in Birmingham city centre. The pub downstairs provides a social village vibe with local ales and a relaxed setting. For more high-energy nightlife, a quick drive or taxi puts you close to bars, lounges, and clubs in both Coventry and Birmingham.

What People Say

Guests consistently praise the characterful charm, friendly staff, and convenient location near key venues. Many appreciate the mix of historic atmosphere with modern comforts, and the pub gets high marks for food and ambiance. The peaceful setting is a big plus for those wanting to avoid city noise after a concert.

Areas for Improvement

Some guests mention that the rooms can be a bit on the smaller side, and others note that parking can be limited during peak times. However, most feel these are minor trade-offs for the location and atmosphere.

The Bottom Line

If you're heading to a gig at the NEC or nearby venues and want a relaxing, character-filled stay away from the crowds, The Bulls Head by Innkeeper's Collection hits all the right notes.

Excellent comfortable stay, good value....

Liked: I stayed in a single room for one night as I was travelling alone on my way to a family funeral and this was a convenient location for a stopver. The decor was stylish and comfortable, with a nice modern bathroom. I dined in the bar for the evening meal, the food was a little pricey but was excellent quality and delicious. Breakfast was included in the stay, and was again excellent. The room overall was very good value and the stay was very comfortable.
Disliked: The bar food was quite expensive, but not outrageously so, and also the quality did reflect the price, so I wasn't disappointed. The room I had was facing the main road, and I had the window open as it was a particularly hot night, there was a little road noise. However this is not really the fault of the hotel, and wouldnt have been anhy issue at all in cooler weather with the window closed. The bathroom was generally very good although small, however I found the fixed shower screen was a bit tricky for me to get in and out of because I am not skinny. Managed ok, just something to consider if you are on the larger side.

Very good

Liked: Friendly staff all round
