Default HOTEL NEAR PRODRIVE

Looking for recommendations, just for a one night stay. Also, apart from Prodrive, are there any other touristy type places we could visit.

not too sure if you can just drop in to Prodrive

Having said that well worth a visit - i attended one arranged on here - great couple of hours.

That part of the country is packed with motorsport companies/teams - again not to sure whether they just let you come in though..

I am presuming you are coming down for the open day?

There are loads of B&B farmhousy type places to stay for sensible money.

Anyway you are in Banbury so you can have a gander round there, Banbury Cross and all that, then there is Silverstone I spose if you want to have a look whats going on, they usually let you walk in if there is an F1 team testing, which is most weeks, usuallt BAR or Whatever Jordan are now called. Mind you it would be a Saturday so there would prob be a meeting on of some sort, they are ususally a laugh if its a club meet.

There is the Motor Museum at Gaydon which is about 30 mins up the M40, thats ok for a wander round.

errrrrr brains gone dead now sorry.

Give Whateley Hall in Banbury a call for reservations, it's in Horsefair Street.

It's part of the Macdonald hotel chain.

Your not far from Stratford Upon Avon if you fancy a visit !!

Warwick castle isn't a million miles away worth a trip if you're at a loose end.
