I’ve grown up visiting the Brooklands museum (maybe this is where my love for cars came from?!) in the school holidays, and so it was nice to go back to the area and experience what the adults get up to.
We arrived late on Friday after I’d finished work, and were wowed by the incredible suite we checked in to. It had everything you could possibly need; a large and stylish open-plan dining room, living room, and study area, a considerably sized walk-in wardrobe, and a large twin bedroom (which can be converted into a double) and bathroom. The design of the suite was very on-brand with the location, dark greys, silvers, and reds, and lots of lovely quirky touches and ornaments in keeping with the car theme.
The view from the suite’s terrace over the Mercedes-Benz race track is a petrol-head’s dream, and it was great fun watching all the cars racing around!
After arriving and settling in to the room we decided to spend an hour in the spa before dinner, and found the jacuzzi has a similarly epic view over the race track. Sadly it was very full though, and so we found the sauna and steam room and made the most of those instead.
The desserts were a moreish Salted caramel creme brulee, and selection of gelato and sorbets, which I didn’t photograph as we ate them far too quickly! The service was attentive but not too overwhelming, and when we couldn’t finish our petit fours, the staff packaged them up so we could take them back to the room for a midnight snack.
The next morning we awoke from a blissful sleep, bright and early ready for our massage and facial! I’m not a facial person, so I had a full body massage while Cait had her chosen facial. The spa use Caudalie products which are actually my favourite skincare products (I swear by the Vinosource SOS serum and the Vinoperfect moisturiser), so I was really happy to see that they use these. They’re very gentle products so great for people like me who suffer from eczema and sensitive skin, and they smell very fresh and not too overly perfume-y! After our spa time we went back to the sauna and steam room, and finally got into the jacuzzi with that view!
