we have stayed at the De Vere Harben on several occassions is it is quite close to the Silverstone circuit and to be honest every time we have stayed there it has been good.

The rooms are a bit on the small side for two people but it does state that they are really for singe occupancy, so we don,t have a problem with that.

The hotel itself does not have the land that usually the de vere properties have but that does'nt bother us.

The staff and service that we recieve is first class from the check in to the check out.Housekeeping always said good morning to you as you walk down to breakfast.

Breakfast is good, there is plenty available on the buffet and it is was piping hot and tea or coffee was served on arrival.

The coffee lounge is good and was kept clean also there are computers for you to use free of charge.

We basically use the hotel as a base as we spend most of our time at Silverstone during the day when we stay here but we will definatly return in the future.

this is good value hotel, 3 miles from Milton Keynes. The rooms are clean and cosy and the breakfast is very good.

We travelled as a couple, and were attending my companys awards evening at the venue.
To start with, the room was absolutely tiny. It was no bigger than about 12 foot square, including the bathroom, and the bed felt more like a wooden box with a sheet thrown over it. It was very dated and generally 'tatty'.
The room where our event was held was ok, but around 200 yards from the nearest bar (which charged £25 for a bottle of wine!).
The breakfast in the morning was of the buffet kind. And it was a disaster. They charged £5 per person, but was bearly worth it. We got there at 9am on a Sunday morning and everything was pretty much gone already. Someone who also stayed with us was a vegetarian and allergic to eggs. She was limited to just toast as there was no fruit salad or cereals left. The most expensive toast she's ever paid for, I'm sure.
I would never stay here again, and has put us off the De Vere brand as a whole. We're from Brighton which has the De Vere Grand, and we're incredibly disappointed that standards aren't kept up between the hotels.
Something else to mention; while we were checking out and saying our goodbyes in the reception area, there was a gentleman with his 2 young children rocking and banging (quite loud aswell) on the vending machine to knock crisps out! He succeeded, and his kids went away very happy, and not a word was said to him by the 3 members of staff at the reception desk, 10 yards away from him.
I won't be trusting the De Vere staff with my safety again, that's for sure.

The best bit was the price. Summer Lovin' promotion rates were good at all De Vere Venues, but I would have felt very aggrieved if I had been asked to pay normal rates. The receptionist was good, although it felt like checking in for bypass surgery with the decor in the lobby being reminiscent of a hospital. The room.....oh dear. I had to sleep in the foetal position otherwise my feet would have been outside the window. If I had taken the cat with me, I would have knocked it senseless trying to swing it in the room. The bar area reminded me of the Airport Hotel, Lagos (not the best, as you might imagine). Our party of three were all in agreement.....never again!
