Car-Loving Enthusiasts Flock to the British Countryside
"Rural Idyls with Supercars: Astonishing Sites Where Residents Cruise McLarens and Ferraris for Groceries"
In the heart of England, a unique blend of picturesque landscapes and high-performance cars is drawing a growing number of car enthusiasts. The rural districts of the Cotswolds, Warwickshire, Essex, and Stratford-upon-Avon, near Silverstone and the West Midlands' car manufacturing hub, have become magnets for super car owners.
These bucolic locations, such as the Cotswolds, Warwickshire, and Essex, are often graced by the presence of luxury vehicles like Porsches, Aston Martins, Bentleys, Ferraris, Maseratis, Lamborghinis, and Rolls Royces.
Car-Friendly Accommodations in the Cotswolds
The North Cotswolds, specifically, boasts The Car Hotel, a niche accommodation catering to car lovers. Nearby towns like Chipping Norton, Broadway, Lechlade, Witney, and Woodstock offer hotels and inns such as The Harcourt Arms and Five Alls, which provide free private parking, making them appealing to car enthusiasts.
While there are no explicitly listed car hotels within a 20-mile radius of The Car Hotel, the region is rich in hotels with good parking facilities and amenities. The Lygon Arms in Broadway, Cotswold Lodge Hotel near Blenheim Palace, and The Falkland Arms offer traditional accommodations with parking, although they do not have a specialized car hotel focus.
Car Hotels and Luxury Homes
The Car Hotel, situated in the north Cotswolds, offers five-star storage, a concierge service, and a 750m purpose-built tarmac track for vehicle exercising. Elsewhere, the property market in these car-loving regions reflects the growing interest in luxury cars.
For instance, the average house price in Stratford-upon-Avon is £428,153, while Sevenoaks has an average house price of £576,664. Interestingly, Winchester, with an average house price of £592,790, is identified as having a high number of super car registrations.
Meanwhile, the Gothic-style pile near Kendal, nine acres, is for sale for £2,750,000 through Ashdown Jones, and it includes a five-car garage. In South Lakeland, the southern half of the Lake District National Park, the average house price is £313,224, making it the most northerly spot in the ranking.
The Future of Car Hotels
Tom Hartley Junior is designing a 42,500sq ft showroom in Hook Norton, Oxfordshire, for performance cars and vintage cars. Five car hotels have been built within a 20-mile radius of the first one, with the latest opening near Bibury in Gloucestershire, dedicated to classic cars.
However, for those seeking the latest or newly opened car hotels specifically, checking The Car Hotel's own website or regional specialist motoring and hospitality news sources may provide updates beyond these general hotel listings.
In conclusion, the British countryside is becoming a haven for car enthusiasts, with a growing number of car-friendly accommodations and luxury homes equipped with garages. The region's unique blend of picturesque landscapes and high-performance cars continues to attract car lovers from around the world.
