Made a weekend break out of visiting the motor museum and then Kenilworth Castle.||Had already researched and knew that The Old Bakery had parking to the rear, but they’re not the easiest spots to get into! …

Stayed here for 1 night before a graduation ceremony at Warwick University and it was fine, however the family room for 3 of us was pretty small and unfortunately they weren't serving food on a Monday night. …
