We stayed here 31st of March to 1st of April for overnight after travelling from The Doubetree at Lincoln. We have always wanted to do the F1 museum but have never had time when at bike racing or F1 so made a point of staying overnight to do the museum early next morning. We arrived early and were advised that as Diamond members we had been upgraded to a track facing suite with a balcony. Louise, you are amazing that was extremely generous and totally unexpected. The Garden Inn at Silverstone is a fairly new property, I believe it opened for the 2022 season. This is apparent, it’s an ultra modern hotel and very much based on F1 and the bike racing. The suite we were given (bet we wouldn’t have got this if F1 was on) was lovely with twin balconies facing the track. Everywhere was clean and well presented, breakfast was buffet style and everything looked lovely, what we had was fresh and tasty. I had fresh fruit and yogurt, while my husband had toast and preserve. The hotel very generously gave us a complimentary drink, I asked for a G n T, while my husband asked for a glass of wine. I was told I couldn’t have a G n T that’s not part of the complimentary drinks. We were advised that we could have a small beer or house wine, we both chose wine. A glass of red and a glass of white, we decided to sit in the lounge area in reception as there was nowhere to sit in the bar. The wine was disgusting, a bit like something that one would sprinkle on chips, or use to sprinkle on a salad. We did tell the receptionist, who was amazing and gave us a couple of cans of Coke from the fridge, that was very kind and certainly much an improvement on the wine. The hotel is lovely and breakfast was amazing, the upgrade an extremely generous gesture, but please sort out your complimentary drinks. The hotel is also close to Stowe Park and would make an excellent place to stay if visiting the area. All in all highly recommended.
