I stayed there for three nights some years ago now ~ for a management conference ~ very comfortable with good views and facilities. It was actually in the hands of the receivers and we got a very good deal to take over the whole place for a long weekend. It was sold not long after we had been there.

You must have been on the road for a good two and a half hours Nick ~ it is at least 110 mile round trip from where you live. You'll get indigestion gobbling brunch like that.

[Nick]

I stayed there at about the same time and it did go bust.Now been refurbed.Fab grounds

And my satnav says it's 41 miles from here! All but 10 miles of that was motorway

I'm not going to argue with your sat nav ~ but the AA routefinder might 

[Nick]

It's nearer 50 miles.I said my SATNAV claimed it was 41. Anyway, about an hour

The other is...err...14 pounds.

Any ideas what to do with it?
