Kenilworth is a beautiful town situated in the heart of the Warwickshire countryside and steeped in a wealth of English history.

A mention in the Domesday Book reveals that the Kenilworth of 1086 was a very different place to the town it is today. Over the past 900 years it has grown from an agricultural settlement of 100 to a thriving town of 24,000 people.
Kenilworth's most famous feature is its castle, generally reckoned to be the best ruined castle in England. The recently constructed Elizabethan Garden is a must-see! Find out more about Kenilworth Castle including special events. The first potato grown in England, brought back from South America by Sir Walter Raleigh, is thought to have been planted in the Little Virginia area of the town, near the castle. Just off the Coventry Road in Kenilworth is a field known as 'The Parliament Piece' - it is traditionally said to be the site where Henry III held a Parliament in August 1266, while his troops besieged Kenilworth Castle.

It is easy to access from all the main motorway routes and makes it the ideal weekend or holiday destination. 
Kenilworth  is the perfect base to explore Warwickshire eg.: Stratford-upon-Avon, famous for being Shakespeare's birthplace; Warwick, famous for its castle and Leamington Spa, great for shopping; the Cotswolds are a pleasant short drive away. If you like car history you may like to visit Coventry Transport Museum (entrance is free) or Heritage Motor Centre at Gaydon. Kenilworth is also convenient for the NEC and the nearby National Motorbike Museum, the NAC and Birmingham Airport. If you crave a little taste of city life, excellent local train stations (Warwick Parkway, Coventry, Leamington Spa and Warwick) are only 10 - 15 minutes away with regular trains to Birmingham and London. 
Also Hilltop B & B is just a few minutes walk away from local bus routes which will take you to Coventry, Stratford, Warwick, Leamington Spa, Warwick  University and the NAC.

The town centre boasts many independent businesses, making it an interesting place to shop. It is host to many bars and restaurants and is fast becoming renowed for its quality of fine dining. You will find sample menus in your room's information pack covering a range of local eating places. Many of the restaurants get booked over the weekend, so we do recommend pre-booking if possible and we are happy to organise this for you, just contact us. If you would prefer to relax in your room in the evening, there are plenty of takeaway places in the town, many of whom deliver.

The real beauty of Kenilworth is that you are never far from the countryside. There are an abundance of walks, many with a country pub at the end! You will find a book of walks in the b & b which has been published by the Kenilworth Footpath Preservation Group
