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.

"Room was a good size - pool area was nice (only a couple of people in there). Able to use jacuzzi, sauna and steam room without any hassle of too many people. We didn’t eat in the restaurant as the food choices didn’t suit both of us. A fancy burger on the restaurant menu would have been a good option ..."

Lovely stay. Like a 2025 utopia.
"An amazing stay. Reasonably priced. Great location for a Porsche Experience day. Restaurant location and sunset was lovely. Execution was good.
