Hotels local to EGXC

Post by Matt » Thu Jan 21, 2010 7:08 pm

Hi Everyone

Due to work commitments, next month i'll be spending the 8/9th in Leeds. After seeing all the great pictures on here of the Typhoons i'm thinking of making a detour on the way back and spending the Wednesday at Coningsby. Therefore i'm looking for a cheap room for the night on Tuesday. I don't want anymore than a single bed for the night really, just somewhere clean and local.

Can anyone recommend a place to stay? After a very brief look on Google I've seen one place, the White Bull Inn, for £20-30 per night but some local advice would be great.

Thanks

Lincs Tourist Board might be worth a try. There's certainly plenty of reasonably priced accommodation about in the Coningsby/Woodhall Spa area. I wouldn't be afraid to just turn up "on spec" and knock on a few B&B doors (plenty about!). Skeggy is only just down the road if you're desperate.

Good luck,

Dave

Thanks for the replys :thumb:

If Sleaford is only 15min away then i'll prob go with the Travelodge option.

I think it's 15 mins by Typhoon!

I make it somewhat more than that by car but still not too bad as an option.

I would say it's only 15 to 20 minute's by car from the travel lodge it's nearly on the A17.
