"The hotel is very good and should be excellent. Unfortunately, it is let down in one area, the restaurant. We had issues at breakfast on both mornings as did others seated around us. I would describe the breakfast as “chaos”. It is a shame because aside from that the hotel is very good. The check in staff were excellent and the spa is more than adequate."

"We stayed for the MotoGP in Silverstone. A lot of closer hotels were booked obviously and I remembered this placed. I’m glad we were slightly away from circuit as there was a lot of amenities close by like a big Tesco and Bicester village was 5 minutes drive. On arrival the staff were professional and courteous and gave us a lot of information. The hotel was spacious and I liked the decor. The room was clean and had HOOKS on the walls which were really useful. The room was very clean and fresh. The bedding was clean and smelt nice. The beds were comfy. Only stayed one night so it was everything I needed. Only slight blot was there was a coffee stain on the floor that wasn’t cleared up but it is due to the fact that the drinks making materials are based on a shelf were things could fall off easily. In short, great place to stay with loads of parking and easy access to major roadways."
