The big resort choice near Silverstone, and it is a resort: 254 rooms, a large spa, 36 holes of golf and a three-rosette restaurant, with free parking and chargers. Book the race weekends early and check what is on offer, because the Grand Prix pages list camping and hospitality rather than plain rooms. The site does not say whether it takes dogs.

About

Whittlebury Park is a large hotel, spa and golf resort on 700 acres of Northamptonshire countryside near Towcester. It is about a mile from the Silverstone circuit on the map, and calls itself one of the closest hotels to it; check the route on a race day. The Silverstone Museum and where to stay for Silverstone are the pages to read alongside this.

There are 254 en-suite bedrooms, mostly doubles and twins with limited triple occupancy, along with five suites and two-bedroom apartment suites with kitchens. Prices are mostly sold as breaks: the home page and the stay page disagree on some hotel and golf break prices, so check the current one on the booking page.

The day spa has thermal rooms, an ice cave, salt saunas, a hydrotherapy pool and a 19-metre pool. The hotel reports five bubbles from the Good Spa Guide for 2025, when it was also a finalist for Best Spa in the East Midlands. Golf is 36 holes in four loops of nine, with a TopTracer range. Murrays is the modern British restaurant with three AA rosettes, Astons serves classic and modern dishes, and the Silverstone Bar has racing memorabilia. Afternoon tea and Sunday lunch both have their own booking pages.

For 2027 the site lists the British Grand Prix from 29 June to 5 July with camping and hospitality, and MotoGP from 13 to 15 August with camping and hotel rooms. Prices are by enquiry. Check-in is from 4pm and check-out by 11am, its guest information says. Weddings are held in the Orangery and the resort’s other event rooms.
