    Abbey Guest House - The Abbey Guest House Hotel, Kenilworth

    Abbey Guest House

    We visit Kenilworth fairly regularly as a very good friend lives here. We sometimes stay with her,…read morebut on the odd occasion when we don't, we like to vary the local B&B's we stay-in. We stayed at Ferndale House 12mths ago and really liked it. Clean, friendly welcome, great cooked breakfasts and reasonably priced. Now, all of the above also apply to The Abbey Guest House 'Hotel' (not quite sure where the 'Hotel' reference comes from on the sign outside as this is definitely, in nice way, a cosy 'B&B!'), but there just seemed to be something missing. The afternoon tea we were welcomed with from Darren was truly, very appreciated (tea made in the pot and a tasty range of biscuits including an orange club - when was the last time you ate a club biscuit?!) and gave us a great first impression, but somehow this B&B lacks the warmth and atmosphere of 'The Ferndale' around the corner. Our twin and single rooms were cosy, clean and comfortable with firm mattresses and some lovely touches with throws and cushions, but a couple of small attentions to detail were missing; mis-matching decor and soft furnishings work well if done properly, although all rooms were attractive, a good eye for bringing everything together was somewhat missing, cheap toilet paper in tired, plastic dispensers in the en-suite brought home memories of shiny, cheap paper in my high school toilets! Brown limescale/mildew build-up around the shower and tiles was unfortunate. Both areas are very easily fixable and if dealt with, would have drawn our attention to the better aspects of the Abbey Guest House, which made for a comfortable stay. The iPod docking station built into the flat screen TV in our room was inspired for example and the freshly cooked breakfasts with (award winning!) sausages and bacon supplied by a local butcher were a real treat and made us feel good for eating locally sourced ingredients. Homemade blueberry jam put other B&Bs to shame with their plastic squares of marmalade and Robinsons jam. Toast and fruit-filled jam to follow a good cooked brekkie was definitely a winner! The fact this B&B is so central and only steps away from the High St make it very convenient for a night out in town, just maybe pick-up your own softer loo paper from Waitrose over the road before checking in!

    Big fan of this place! Beautiful gardens and a large dining space. I went last year as ladies what…read morelunch and had a delicious afternoon tea for £20...unlimited tea and good quality sandwiches and patisserie items ( I'm a fussy cow too the type that sends sandwiches back). But this time I went for a wedding! It was the perfect space and as a hotel everyone could stay over. The gardens are manicured, there s a lovely terrace where guests can spill out to and the venue even allowed fire dancing ( a supplier at the wedding, not a guest). The food was a highlight for me. We attended for the evening buffet. This was the best beige food I d had for a long time! Small goat s cheese tart with crisp pastry, cheese and tomato and spinach pastries, succulent chicken skewers & ribs and wedges and probably more but I d had a few gins by then. The bar was priced competitively a gin and Tonic and a bottle of beer came to £9. The quality of the food and service has made me want to return again soon. It's very close to M42 therefore best accessed by car

    Hogarth's hotel has one of the best restaurants in the West Midlands in my opinion. Having been…read moreseveral times normally for special occasions or treats I attended with my family for an anniversary dinner and was once again blown away by the quality of the food and service. 8 of us attended the meal which did require booking ad they do get busy however once we arrived we were seated and had given drinks orders withing 15 minutes. Food served is traditional high quality English food with a few modern twists. Starters came out after less than 15 minutes and are quite large with some people in our group commenting that they could have been small mains. Mains quickly followed starters and my fillet steak (cooked blue) was done to perfection and the peppercorn sauce was something special made with a turnip Base it tasted earthy and fresh. I didn't go for desert however the selection is vast and the final course of coffee was served professionally from an incredibly friendly and polite waiter. It isn't the cheapest of restaurants but service and quality of food easily make the price justifiable. I would say for a table of 2 including wine you could do 3 courses each for under £150 as a total.
