Cheap trip away if anybody fancies it......

Have a look at this lodge which has been put forward to me, I think its pretty good and I can get it for £295.00 for the 2 days which is only £59.00 per person for the duration.

I think the plus points are we can come and go without worrying about other guests too much and have the freedom to make our own breakfast as the evening food is already included with our golf.

11 miles away so about 15-20 minutes away which we can either get a cab between the 5 of us which shouldn't be very much or scab lifts from those travelling but eating with us each night :smirk:

Car sharing could be a plus point as they state their are 2 spaces at the lodge but no doubt further car parking is available further away. The more we can car share I think the easier again it could be.

I'm happy to bring Region3.

Let me know what you think, unless you want an out and out B&B but I think for less than £30 sobs a night each in our own domain, is pretty decent?
 
The lodges are at messingham golf course which Is 20 mins from me, we play there in our society and a couple of lads are members there,Also they have big commercial fishing ponds. Messingham is quite rural. Close to Ashby Decoy GC at Scunthorpe if anybody knows it.
The lodges would be ideal and there is a good set up for eating etc. just not convinced with the location. Car parking etc is not a concern, you can take a caravan / motorhome etc and stay in the car park!

Some of the lodges are literally a putt off the 16th green.

If you anything finding out , just say.

I'll have an ask about
 
Yes for accomodation, I'll probably shack up with Bozza wherever we go.

Hobbit, cheers, I'll gratefully accept and see you're well beery on a night. :)
 
Google Earth is your friend for that
Messingham Sands fishery, Butterwick Road, Scunthorpe,

As long as there's a bed, and a fridge for a late snifter...
 
Greg Lindley phoned me tonight, he definitely wants to come to this Robin. so if you can put him down as first reserve...if I get a cancellation with any of my 7 guys, Greg can come into the flats with us to keep the teams even.
He came with us the year before last, couldn't make it this year.

I'm quite interested but can't commit at the moment, but I'd have thought it would be best to be based as close as possible to the group staying at the course so no one has a long trip after sharing a few drinks.

I'm still in the same situation as when I originally posted, so Greg can take my place if he's happy to not be on 'Team Smiffy'?
 
Another option, only 1 mile from the course, room only £30 per person per night.

Looks clean tidy but basic.

If I were you lads, I would go with this option. Really lose to the course which means you can stay later with us and get well oiled. I thought Gainsborough was going to throw in the brekkie and dinner for you 'outsiders' too?

We have, were all eating together with you guys on Sunday & Monday night, no brekky though if we stay their, we'll have to pay for that at the club I suppose.
