OUR LOCATION
Our location affords easy accessibility and 160 acres of space. That includes lakes, woodland and park. And with modern and adaptable indoor meeting spaces too, we can accommodate most functions. Although our rural location may feel remote, it is only minutes from main road and rail networks. 8 minutes from the M6, M42 & A45 and less than 30 minutes from M1 & M40.
As a result you can enjoy all that the Warwickshire countryside has to offer but be on your way home within minutes.
We are located between Fillongley and Meriden. Meriden is the absolute geographical centre of England. This means most of the large centres of population are within about two hours travel time.
