Decent place for a quick one night stay while attending Silverstone. Breakfast was decent, garden, and few activities available. Room was okay. Flooring wasn't straight and although it says sleeps 4 with a sofa bed, it isn't a great option for more than 1 night to be honest. Staff was good and helpful. Tunnel to car park is awfully tight and requires some skill to not touch the walls
