Word of warning, when I made the reservation I was quoted what I’d consider to be a fair fee for the new hotel, for a three night stay. I’ve since popped in to take a look at the place, checked the reservation and prices and found that what I’ll actually be paying is almost double what I was quoted! Eye watering figures. Not much they can do as it’s my word vs. theirs… It was also £1.50 for a can of coke from the lobby vending machine if I remember correctly, which seems a bit mad.

On the plus side, the hotel looks fantastic. Nice downstairs bar with a strong aviation theme. Quite terrific all round.

the price was a bit more than i was expecting,but the other places we’re staying at on our holiday have been pretty reasonable so i guess it’s not too bad to be paying a bit more for the convenience of this one.
the web site pics do look nice though ,and i hope the famous red lion bar will still be open for a post airshow debrief 😎
