Good Afternoon

We are currently reviewing our rates for 2016 and all discounts will be via on-line booking

The pub closes at 10.30 on a Monday and Sunday evenings and 11.30 Tues, wed, thur and midnight Friday and Saturday

At the moment we have only 2 twin rooms but can provide a double sofa bed for use in one of the other rooms.


May have to look elsewhere. To be honest, I can't see anything being more suitable than Premier Inn- IF it opens in time.

These lodges are 11 miles away (20 minutes), I found them the last time I was looking for accommodation.

I think they would work out more expensive than booking a pub as we did this year Robin.
Plus they have facilities that simply won't be used.
All the lads require are beds for the night. Breakfast can be taken at the golf club if necessary.
Also, looking on the Premier Inns website, guide prices indicate that a two night stay at any one of their hotels is going to also be a lot more expensive than what was paid this year.
I think that The George is looking the "only" option again if I'm totally honest.
If the scum team are in agreement I can contact the owner again to reserve the rooms????

Like I said above Frank, I think the Premier Inn (if it is built in time, which I would think it will be), will be quite a bit more expensive.
The Beckett Arms looks okay but according to their website they only have 2 twin bedded rooms, the rest are doubles (no singles listed), although they do show a tariff for single occupancy.

I have sent them an email to find out what the state of play is with their expansion work at the moment and to try to find out prices.
Good thing is, that this place is only 3 miles away from the club so would obviously be a lot easier than travelling to and from The George.
Gets good reviews too!
Will keep you updated.

When I priced these up last time it worked out at £59pp for the 2 nights! their self catering so your only paying for the beds per se but can cook your own breakie if you want!

I'm unlikely to get a spot anyway if everyone returns so was just trying to help with another option..

Wasn't knocking you mate, and thanks for the heads up.
Problem you have is that some of the guys want single rooms, which kind of messes up the idea of sharing one of the lodges.
As I say, I have been in contact with the Beckett Arms, which looks ideally situated if they can accommodate us, but will keep the lodges in mind.
Cheers ears

I've heard back from Premier Inns and they are basically denying any knowledge of a new hotel opening up in Gainsborough.
So it looks like either the Beckett Arms or The George

thats not what the local rag said. Mate i am happy to stay anywhere.

As a poss idea could Gainsborough give us a total for breakfast in the price as well ? If not no probs just pay as we go.

Well done so far though young Rob.

I can try for you Guy, but let's see what the Beckett Arms come back with first.
I know a few of you weren't impressed with the breakfast at the George, but the Beckett gets very good reviews.
Will keep you posted.
