Areas within 20 mins drive of the University Hospital, Coventry?

[cairnterrier]

Can anyone recommend any areas to look in near to the University Hospital? We're looking for a 4-5 bedroom house, to rent initially then to buy. Neither DH nor I have ever been to Coventry so aren't sure where to start. Not particularly fussed about rural/suburban but shops and playground within walking distance would be good.

Thanks

The hospital is at walsgrave, there are some nice areas there and it is very near to Coombe Abbey country Park which is lovely.
Shilton is lovely if you fancy a village location.
If you want to live in a proper town rather than a Coventry city suburb then Nuneaton has loads of different type areas and all the shopping and park facilities you would expect of a large town.

Look at Leamington or Rugby. Far nicer than Coventry.

I love Leamington, nice shops, nice houses, nice park all in the town centre, but more expensive than Rugby.

Rugby town center - very close to shops and park


Leamington alternative

Both within 20 mins University hospital.

Leamington is lovely, Rugby is awful, IMO. Coventry has a few nice suburbs, Mount Nod, Stivichall, Earlsdon, all within 20-25 mins drive of UHCW :)
