I'm getting back into the hobby and building a Portgarth over winter, hopefully will be ready for March if there's room for a little one?

Rolfy Dave · « **Reply #12 on:** January 08, 2015, 06:07:44 pm »

Bloody hell, hotels are a bit pricey around there... I wanted a Premier Inn room at £29. But when I came to book it, it came out at more like £59

We'll have to Keep watching and waiting.

Cheers all,

Rolfy

Rolfy which hotel are you looking at there are a few within a mile or so of the place

Gav

tugnut · « **Reply #14 on:** January 08, 2015, 07:01:34 pm »

I also would like some info on Hotels near there

.
That's not a bad price for a Premier inn.

The Tourist Information Centre does not do hotel and guest house lists anymore, you have to use the website " www.marketing cheshire " for accommodation information. I am hoping to compile a list of places to stay within a five mile radius of the Museum.

Rolfy Dave · « **Reply #24 on:** January 10, 2015, 03:13:44 pm »

Stan. Thanks for all your help, but it seems like it was not to be.

Jan has just got her work rota for February & March, and she is on nights all that weekend (Friday to Sunday)

I should be okay for a day pass, but it looks like the whole weekend is out of the question.

Sorry all, and thanks once again for all the assistance.

Kindest regards,

Dave W
