That's the one

[Scarecrow-K3]

In Donington there's

The Manor Hotel
The Tudor Court
The Priest House

and theres a few places in Hemmington next to Donington and It has secure parking

thers also the Thistle hotel at the airport and the Hilton on Jct 24

[zuki]

That's the one

yeah she was lovely on the phone, assured me that the car park and garage parking are very secure. :D

[TheBoffin]

yeah she was lovely on the phone, assured me that the car park and garage parking are very secure. :D

She's a really nice woman - was a truly lovely B&B, room was great - food was superb, and bar too! Her husband is a complete and utter Ducati fan - picks and memorabilia everywhere! Nice bloke too.

If I were to stay up near Donny again, the Melbourne View would be my first choice.

The only 'minor down' I didn't like was the driveway is deep gravel; so riding down to the extremely large garage down the bottom can be a bit procarious! Still if you're not confident on gravel, i'm sure her husband would happily take your bike down the gravel.

[deej]

melbourne view is really good but not really a suzuki place,the owners a ducati nut and has loads of ducati memorabilia in the hotel/bar even a set of genuine foggy leathers hanging in the corner of the bar

[zuki]

[Gixer Sapper]

As the date of the trackday has changed, I have changed my booking from Ivy House Farm to the Melbourne View Hotel.
I telephoned the Hotel and spoke to Sally to make sure that I would not be stealing the rooms of Scaredygix, Babybiker, Wrecker, Superfli, Trev, r25sti and Squadron Leader.
I have asked Sally to hold rooms for the following night should the 'above named' still require accomodation. Please confirm with her asap!

[babybiker]

you are a gentleman and a scholar sir, done and changed it, thanks for the heads up :ws:

[Tink]

I have done Similar with the Paddock Hotel

[Gixer Sapper]

I have pm'd the 7 junkies booked into the Melbourne View Hotel and informed them to read my post on this thread so as they don't lose out on their hotel bookings

I had booked in for the night of the 26th but when it changed dates I never phoned up and changed the date cuz I wasn't going to be able to make it.
But now I can, so I phoned up Paddock to cancel my room and the nice guy had already moved me across to the 27th and was just waiting for me to confirm.
