Situated just a stone's throw away from the charming village of Kowle, The Kings Arm offers a convenient location with excellent accessibility to both the M42 and Solihull. As you arrive, you'll be greeted with a warm and friendly welcome, setting the tone for a delightful stay. While the bedrooms are advertised as small, this doesn't pose a problem as they are cosy and comfortable. However, it's worth noting that the bathrooms are on the smaller side.
One of the standout features of The Kings Arm is its impressive WIFI signal (for its location), ensuring that you can stay connected throughout your stay. When it comes to dining, the menu offers a great selection of evening meals to suit various tastes. The only slight drawback is that the desserts are slightly on the pricier side for this type of establishment. Nevertheless, they are undeniably delicious and provide a satisfying end to your meal. Overall, the positive experience at The Kings Arm makes it a place worth considering for future stays, with its convenient location, welcoming atmosphere, and comfortable accommodations.

Just stayed one night after visiting the NEC. Great location right next to the Grand Union Canal.
Staff where all friendly and helpful.
Dinner in the restaurant was very good.
The food was excellent, and a great atmosphere in the bar / restaurant areas.
The room was a little tied but comfortable and had all that you need for a short stay.

Knowle is a pretty village with most essential facilities...
Knowle is a pretty village with most essential facilities nearby. It's close to picturesque local canals and their pubs (Kings Arms recommended). It's within easy reach of the M42 , Solihull shopping centre and Birmingham Airport. Only downside, we found the country lanes very narrow at times, particularly when confronted by a massive tractor that took up the entire width of the road with a driver intent on bullying his way through against the oncoming traffic.
The hotel and pub/restaurant were very very cute and lovely. Our lock actually fell off and we were locked outside of our room for about 2 hours: the staff were fantastic about it and whilst waiting for the engineer to come out, they offered to either put us up in a different hotel or have a tab of food and drink. As we were in a group, we stayed and had the cocktails which were amazing! Breakfast in the morning was also delicious and just what we needed!
Fresh clean and comfortable hotel set in an excellent rural location gives the impression of a local pub and restaurant.
Great inside and very snug with helpful staff all round. Room are great and very much looked after. The bar has a great variety of drinks and the food is excellent.
Wonderful stay, everything was lovely, from the room to the restaurant and staff. The room is small, but perfect with everything we needed. Food was very nice and the breakfast was really good. I would recommend this hotel to everyone.
An attractive and spacious house that was well equipped with very comfortable beds. We were pleased to find a house like this to stay in in Knowle which is where our daughter lives. Would definitely stay here again.
Comfortable bed and good shower. All the facilities expected of a good hotel in spite of the restricted size of the room.
Food available Sunday evening (given country location and no other food places nearby).
