    Disabled travellers recommended dining at Kings Arms Knowle

    We recommend this delightful old traditional rustic coach inn. The newly added Orangery is a delightful lunch time must visit spot, with soft muted deco and comfy seating, with garden views across to the Union canal. The food is very well presented, tasty, and just enough to enjoy. The staff are all very pleasant and helpful, and cocktails after, finish off a lovely lunch. In the evening, their restaurant is a must, warm coloured furnishing, delightful deco, historic ceiling which you must see, and food served with you in mind. A truly pleasant experience, well worth our recommendation. There are TWO REVIEWS for you, do read them both.

    Disabled travellers enjoy a very pleasant coaching inn in west midlands

    Approaching the Kings Arms on the outskirts of knowle, there is a very sharp bend just before the entrance for the car park on the right, just before the canal bridge, be very careful, it’s a fast 60 road, and they fly. During the reformation period, while the king demonstrated his power, all monestries and their inns were disbanded, so pubs changed their names quickly, to show their support to the king, showing their loyalty to him now. Thus The Kings arms, at Knowle The Inn does not at first appeal, typical cheap grey and cream coloured brick style building, but once inside, it’s a delightful old 1816 coaching inn, and very pleasantly decorated in appealing colours and furnishings. It’s situated on the grand Union canal, which makes its way from the West Midlands into london. It is of course a water side inn, with a pleasant canal side beer garden, and you won’t be surprised to see wild life alongside the canal itself, so a peaceful quiet drink awaits you as you sit and enjoy this historical coaching inn which has retained much of its old rustic charm. It’s was refurbished in 2022 undergoing much work, particularly in its 10 delightful bedrooms, (which are not available for disabled as no lift is provided, but the delightful small bar seating area may appeal, with one or two pleasant seating areas. There are two disabled bays by the canal side beer garden, and Two more bays right by the pathway which leads along to the main entrance for the inn. Inside however, after using the safe paved pathway with a gentle slope downwards to reach the main entrance, which is easy enough for your carer to manage, and entering the level floored bar area, Inside However, their is a charming canal side orangery, mutated colours, soft cane furnished seating, with views over the canal side itself, and while enjoying a cool afternoon drink do keep your eyes open for the passing wildlife, such as the visiting heron we caught fishing on its banks. If it’s a hot afternoon, take your drink outside and enjoy the quiet peaceful setting. The toilets are disappointing however for disabled. A radar key is needed, but staff will collected a key and let you in The cublicle is large enough for almost all chairs, but is very basic. A pull cord and handrails are available, very clean inside with no unpleasant aromas, but it is what it is, a toilet. we were very much taken by this little inn, and wanted to offer you our recommendation to go and visit, so we have given you TWO REVIEWS to help you see how much you would also be captivated by its charm. SO PLEASE READ THE NEXT REVIEW AS WELL FOR DINING OPTIONS
