   Putting aside the fact this is a must-visit for any car fan, the location is perfect for visiting Stratford upon Avon and the accommodation is very clean, nicely appointed and good value. The staff were friendly and there’s plenty of room in the bar to enjoy a drink and a bite to eat. Although the menu doesn’t have a huge variety, the food was very tasty.

   Booked a club visit for AudiS1UK and left underwhelmed. Our “allocated area” wasn’t actually ours — hotel guests were parked in it, so our group ended up split and dotted around all day. For a car-focused venue, the surface is poor: potholes everywhere, nothing filled, and not great for low cars. I can’t fault the staff themselves as they did what they could to organise everyone. The place also feels tired compared to when I last came five years ago. Cold day, no heating in the tent, and the whole setup just lacks the polish it used to have. Food didn’t help. The grilled salad wedge arrived wet, and the chips with brisket were dry. We were glad we didn’t order more. They couldn’t even do something simple like grilled chicken on the side. Honestly, we wouldn’t mind if they kept the ticket money and put it into improving the venue. The vibe is still good — loads of interesting cars coming and going — but everything else needs attention.

   Attended venue for a Carwow event so can't comment of hotel side, but I have always wanted to come anyway for the cars and to try the food. Unfortunately, even though we had booked a table, arrived early and seated our order of 2x hot drinks hadn't turned up after 30 mins. Asked a member of staff for update, order hadn't been put through but we saw they was busy and gave them benefit of doubt and ordered food too. Another 30 mins, no drinks, no food. Asked another staff member for update they said they would check but no response. We ended up leaving. Either understaffed or poor staff training, not something I was expecting from a popular venue...

   Some say C&M has lost its appeal, truthfully we didn’t see one supercar in the 2 hours we were there on Sunday afternoon, so can confirm the rumours. That aside, we had a fantastic drive out and the food was super tasty. Huge thank you to Ed, a star employee, he really impressed us with his professionalism and can do approach. We had issues with the food ordering app, it was no drama for Ed he came out and took our order then delivered the drinks, very polite and a credit to C&M.

   Lovely place to visit and draws a lot of people to the venue. Events are pretty cool to attend also. The food is great altho a more varied option would be welcome. Not everyone likes stodgy food unfortunately. I haven't been for a while so not sure if anything has changed but some live bands on would be great and would give a good atmosphere on an evening in my opinion. Well worth a visit if you enjoy cars.

   Most petrol head people I know have been here. Grounds were a bit muddy and slippery due to the recent rain. Car park was completely full, car parking attendants making sure no random person turned up who hasn't booked as it's a very popular venue. Booking essential at the weekend, cost £5. Seems a regular pass by for the local Constabulary, nice straight road as you leave.

   First time visiting and it felt like I was at home, it was so lovely. Like-minded people having conversations. It's known for the cars, appreciating them but also hobbyist photographers taking pictures. There were dogs and children, a gift shop, delicious food and drink, and tipi's with comfortable seating and fairy lights. Don't hesitate, just go!!

   Awesome place regardless if you are into cars or not. The food is always good although can take a while on a busy day it’s still decent food. They also have rooms which are fantastic. Really clean spacious and overlook the yard. They have themes nights for those who are into their cars, overall it’s a fantastic place for everyone. Staff are very good as well, they are a credit to the business.

   Absolutely recommend to any car guy who wants a chilled, quiet vibe for the evening. The food and drink are amazing and the vibe is so nice. The hotel was lovely the facilities were brilliant. The only thing I can recommend is that there are more options on the breakfast menu, the food was lovely just not enough choice
