We strongly recommend hiring a car if you are travelling without transport and are staying for a few nights" "As there are no buses to the NEC from Kenilworth Road, taxis can get rather costly . Travelling to the NEC there and back and going out to eat at night all adds up, so its food for thought! Please don't be scared off though because the Hollies is still only 6-7 minutes drive from NEC/Airport and one of the closest guest houses.

As for train journeys. Please depart your journey at Birmingham International Station (Not New Street Station). We are about 5 minutes drive from International.

The local station is Hampton-In-Arden, but we suggest you may as well depart at International due to the lack of taxis at Hampton.

Buses are only on route if you are staying at self catering apartments in Meriden.

Car Hire from - www.hertz.co.uk

We recommend trying hertz first and booking a car online to get a better discount and to save time at the Airport. Hertz appear to come up with the best prices but please feel free to try else where. Make sure that you collect from your arrival destination eg: Birmingham Airport. please avoid anywhere else in Birmingham City as that is long distance away.

Please also try TSC Vehicle Hire, on the same road as us. They will deliver a car to you for free and the prices start from £20 per day. Take a look www.tscvehiclehire.co.uk to get a quote or call 0870 027 8399
