The Spotlight on The King's Arms by Innkeeper's Collection

Charming Canalside Retreat Near Birmingham’s Live Music Scene

Nestled along a peaceful canal in Knowle, The King's Arms by Innkeeper's Collection blends traditional British charm with a cozy countryside vibe. Just a 15-minute drive from Birmingham International Airport and a quick train ride from Birmingham city center, it’s a relaxing base for concert-goers looking to balance music and tranquility.

Why Concert-goers love it

With Dorridge Rail Station only 5 minutes away, getting to Birmingham’s top music venues is a breeze—just a 20-minute train ride gets you into the heart of the city. After the show, you’ll come back to a quiet, countryside setting perfect for winding down. The 12:00 PM checkout is helpful if you’re recovering from a late gig, and free private parking adds extra convenience for drivers.

Who this Hotel is great for

- Groups of friends who want a relaxed pre-show hangout with food and drinks
- Solo travelers catching a dream concert and wanting a safe, scenic base
- Couples turning a gig into a romantic countryside weekend
- Fans needing peace and quiet after a loud night
- Budget-conscious music lovers looking for value with charm

Food and Drink Options

Enjoy seasonal British dishes at the adjoining King's Arms pub, which offers a cozy bar and a scenic beer garden with canal views—a perfect place to grab a bite before heading out. While there’s no 24/7 room service, the pub stays open late for evening meals and drinks. Breakfast is available the next morning to help ease into the day after a late night.

Nightlife Options

While the hotel's vibe is more relaxed than rowdy, guests love the quaint pub atmosphere with local ales and countryside views. For a livelier scene, Birmingham’s bars and clubs are just a train ride away, making it easy to mix serenity with city nightlife.

What People Say

Travelers consistently praise the picturesque setting, friendly staff, and comfortably furnished rooms. The on-site pub adds a social touch, and many guests enjoy the calm location after a busy day in Birmingham. The free parking and proximity to rail links are frequently noted as major pluses.

Areas for Improvement

Rooms are a bit basic and traditionally styled, which may not appeal to those looking for modern luxury. There's no air conditioning, so summer stays can get warm. Also, while the pub is a gem, food service can be slow during peak times.

The Bottom Line

For concert-goers who want easy access to Birmingham without the bustle, The King’s Arms offers a peaceful, affordable, and charming stay with local flavor.

Excellent location and staff, the...

Liked: Friendly staff, unfortunately we had to wait for our food after ordering.
Disliked: Unfortunately the chef decided that he wanted to stop in bed. He didn’t arrive into the kitchen until 8.15 then we had a 50 minute wait for our breakfast. The manager and other staff were fantastic and very diplomatically had to apologise for the wait for the food. Suggest the chef wants a new alarm clock.

Beautiful place tiny room

Liked: Beautiful venue and room, every part of which was spotlessly clean. Staff were helpful. Location Beautiful.
Disliked: Very tiny room with no air flow. We stayed on a hot summer weekend and with no opening windows or air conditioning the room was very uncomfortable and stuffy. A small fan was in the room but this was of little help in the unusually warm conditions.
