Buckingham Hotel

[dpr59]

I'm going to the F1 test in June at Silverstone.

Can anyone point me to a good 4* hotel or lodge in the Buckingham area.

Thanks

Dave

Why Buckingham area? Why not try Northampton as well.

This one, based right on J15 M1

Then just travel up to J15A, and across on the A43 to Silverstone.

Theres a travel lodge in towcester that is 5miles from silverstone. Thats if its not all booked up though.

Or if you look here, : http://www.bedandbreakfasts.co.uk/propertysearch.asp?query=Whittlebury the top two are in towcester. I would recommend Saracens over the oak though.

The saracens is a nicer pub for relaxing..

Sorry, just noticed you wanted 4*, but hopefully these may help.

When is the test, i may pop up there if i can..

I presumed by 4* he wanted some luxury, lol.

But beware it may throw up some hotels which are far far away so do double check the location

Mrs. D has booked a corporate hospitality day for us at Silverstone as a present.
Thought the least I could do was a decent hotel.
My guess is she's going to spend the day with a load of blokes on jolyees from work.

In that case, splash out on this place, 11 miles from Silverstone:

Never stayed there, but had a few meals there :yum: Place is exquisite, just don't look at the prices

Theres also Whittlebury hall, : http://www.whittleburyhall.co.uk/whittlebury_hall.asp?PageID=33&title=Accommodation

This is a short walk to the circuit itself, also the plum park hotel but unsure what star rating that is.. The plum park is a short drive to the circuit also: http://www.plum-park.co.uk/3.html
