That place is the same price or more.
I'm thinking Aldershot Travelodge personally, £73. Still not too far away from the golf clubs or the other hotels for a beer & curry.

It was £99 a couple of weeks ago. Obviously word has spread of our arrival!

Aldershot and Farnborough hotels are not that far at all,from both Farnham and Hankley golf clubs.

Hi everyone
Just having a look at accommodation and indeed prices are crazy on 29 August.
Could be because it’s so far ahead though?
Anyway, I’m happy to share a room if anyone would be interested? Otherwise there’s barely anything under £100 a night nearby!!
Some options I saw include:
Farnborough £66 Travelodge
(next door to Premier Inn/£97)
Guildford £92 Travelodge
(Premier Inn nearby is £116)
There may be a fair few options on Booking.com too…I’ll have a look.
All this said, maybe the Farnham Purple Palace might work if they have enough rooms, with two sharing. But the high prices suggest maybe they’re nearly sold out?
Would like to hear your thoughts…

I booked Farnham purple palace as soon as the date got issued and the demand so quick must have forced prices to rocket. It was either £125 or £135 for a standard double

So I’ve found an interesting option nearby…

A bunkhouse but beds just £20 a night. Sleeps up to 11 so could take a few of us out of the local hotel system.
Could share cabs into Farnham or Guildford for drinks and food…

Have you checked the Princess Royal just outside Farnham? On their website they have a couple of twin rooms available for 29th/30th at £116 - maybe get cheaper rate on Booking.com or other such site.

I did the same thing - £143 for one night though! Think ill be cancelling and going elsewhere, no idea why the prices are so high - When we played Blackmoor it was half that!
i'm surpised the place isn't empty considering there is a pink castle tee user staying there

I should have done this last night, it's up to £81 now. Ridiculous. Still going to take it though I think.
i guess it's because we are going earlier that before plus it's the bank holiday weekend just before hand

It’s bank holiday week and the last week of school holidays and Tuesdays and Wednesday are peak for a Purple Palace - you are better of going to a Travelodge or finding an air BnB

I'm about an hour away without traffic, so I just can't be arsed paying anyone for a bed. Admittedly, it'll be 1hr 45 in rush hour probably, but still...!

I will not be awake early enough for that sort of nonsense. You know the golf starts at 9 right? My alarm will be on for 7:45 probably, and that's only so I have time to grab my bacon roll.Ive booked "The Hogs Back Hotel" - Might treat myself to a little swim and gym session in the morning

Hogs back hotel is one of the places we looked at putting our weddings guests up 5 years ago. Think it’s had a recent refurb.

And very close to Farnham GC for those playing there the day before. In fact you can see it in the distance from the 8th tee
