I am taking my wife away for a long weekend for her birthday and thought it would be good to visit Nurburgring and Spa, I know how to give her a good time! can anyone help with accomodation recommendations near these places Thanks Adrian.

Thats exactly what I did with my wife last year on our way to Switzerland!!

We stayed at a Hotel local to the ring called Hotel Kastenholz. Its a 4 star, quite cheap but very nice.

Room and view was amazing. Far enough from the ring to not hear or be involved but we still had interesting bikes and cars at the hotel. Great for couples with a hidden petrolhead agenda!!

It has a deer park out the back and restaurant with a great view. Food was good as was the beer. Friendly and nice.

Strongly recommended.

If you have not been to SPA or the ring before then ill give you some heads up and advice. The ring is not easy to find and Spa is not worth the trip unless the track is open as you see naf all, town is well worth a trip though. U2U if you want more info.

Good luck,

HTH

Thanks sounds good and yes unless there is something on at spa it could be boring maybe I will just do the ring. We are going on the shuttle and will e using sat nav

Yeah visiting SPA is kind of like going to Silverstone when there is nothing on! Take a photo of the sign and then just get going again!!!

While I think of it check whats on at the ring to. The car park is the place to go and walk around. I always have trouble keeping my jaw off the floor when walking around.

I CANT WAIT TO GO AGAIN THIS YEAR!!

When I went with a group of biker friends we stayed at Sliders guesthouse http://www.slidersguesthouse.com The website hasn't been updated for ages but their youtube channel has so I presume they are still open. Its run by a british guy and they are really friendly

Just an update all booked the Hotel Kastenholz was fully booked so I booked the Ringvilla. We are going to make a stop at Brussels on the way and Lille (France) on the way back. May even take the Passat around the ring whilst there havent told the wife that one yet!!
