The Throckmorton

Once a coaching inn, The Throckmorton stands on Coughton Hill near Alcester in rural Warwickshire and keeps many period features. Coughton Court, a National Trust house, is about five minutes away on foot.

Rooms come in traditional and contemporary styles, each with a TV, an en suite bathroom and complimentary hot drinks. There is a traditional restaurant, a bar pouring local real ales, a garden and a terrace. Cooked and continental breakfasts are served daily, and themed dinner nights are held.

Free WiFi and parking are provided. Birmingham and Coventry airports are around half an hour away by car. It suits walkers and guests after a quiet country stay.
