I wasn't quite sure which section to post this in, but wondered if anyone had any recommendation for hotels near Silverstone with discreet parking and preferably room for a trailer?

It doesn't have to be Fort Knox, just somewhere quiet and less conspicuous than a Travelodge. Bonus points if it's somewhere semi-affordable with a motor racing connection. smile

Plenty of dogging spots around Silverstone.

I have never been myself but my brother has often used Whittlebury Hall.

I've parked in Travelodge and similar several times. I guess I don't have a posh enough car!

It's more about having someone else's posh car on a trailer, to be honest.

Fair enough.

B&Bs can be good - some have decent sized parking and are fairly private. I've done that a few times when I had specific parking requirements (although not at Silverstone)

This is the place for you , a lot of the drivers stay there too.

The new Hilton , which is trackside isn’t bad either, an array of nice cars to be seen there.

Drop reception a drink and I’m sure you could find a special space .

Walltree Farm at Hinton in the Hedges. AirBnB on a farm in the boondocks east of Brackley. About 20min drive from Silverstone on backroads.

I've not done it myself but - Whittlebury Hall

It was recommended.

There's a massive car park with plenty of parking scenarios. Far away from comings and goings.

Close to the busier places if wanted and everything in between.

There's also the attached camp site - £50 for the "Silverstone Festival" weekend which I used for parking over the weekend.

Forgot to include.

It would be possible to drive in drop the trailer and leave it there.

So I was told.

There are no in/out checks.

Whittlebury Hall is the obvs answer. I stay on a weekly basis, the car park frequently has high end metal, there is a load of room towards the back of the car park for a car & trailer. Cost is about £80-£100/night with a decent breakfast. Summer gets v busy though, often sold out.
A first rate spa, pool & gym aswell.

The Silverstone golf club has a small hotel complex attached.

After all that, we've had a slight change of plan. Now staying further afield, so we can leave the trailer securely at a friend's house and drive in the following morning. Good to know, though.
