Where to stay in Rugby

Came across where Thomas Hughes wrote Tom Browns school days

Rugby Town Centre

While Rugby Town Centre isn't home to many top sights, Newbold Quarry Country Park and Butlin Road are some notable places to visit nearby.

Bourton-on-Dunsmore

While Bourton-on-Dunsmore might not have many sights to explore, venturing just a little farther will lead you to top things to see and do like Draycote Water Country Park and Coventry Stadium.

Monks Kirby

When in Monks Kirby, you can plan a visit to Coombe Abbey Country Park and Coventry Stadium, some noteworthy sights in the nearby area.

Monks Kirby
Plastic palm tree. This is one of a pair of plastic palm trees that stand by the entrance to the car park at the former Goji Chinese restaurant - although they may date back to the days when the building was 'Crazy Daisy's' - a night club. Presumably they were intended to give a hint of the orient, or to convince clubbers they were in Ibiza. Either way they are unbelievably tacky, and look distinctly odd standing next to a derelict building - for context see 1236285 .

Stretton-On-Dunsmore

While Stretton-On-Dunsmore isn't home to many top sights, Ryton Organic Gardens and Coventry Stadium are some notable places to visit nearby.

Good stay
"Our room was quieter this time as it was on the opposite side of the hotel. Room seemed nicer. However, the room was very hot as no temperature control facilities in this room. We ate in the restaurant - the lamb shank was amazing. Pool and sauna etc were quiet which was nice."
