Staying near Gaydon Advice please.

[wildcat45]

Last time I asked a question like this I got some fantastic recommendations for Knutsfiord.

I'm going to an event at Gaydin in August.

Ideal place would be a nice not too dear country hotel in a pleasant little town.

Better still a pnessanr real ale oak beam type pub.

Safe parking or better still a car park.

Any suggestions appreciated.

Gaydon, Warwickshire (motor museum etc?)

Not 'Pride 2015' then

[wildcat45]

Yes. I only noticed my misspelling after I posted. Shouldn't post from my phone while in a shop
Queue.

Mods could you please fix the title?

I guess anywhere within 20 miles or so.

Tuck a stout sheet of cardboard down the back of you trousers. The buggers wont get through that........no wait!! sorry Gaydon. I thought you said staying near a gay den.

[wildcat45]

Well I'm as open minded as the next guy but I prefer real ale pubs and classic cars to Mardi Gras.

Thanks to the mod for sorting my title.

Leamington or Warwick. Look on Tripadvisor and go from there. Both nice towns, decent hotels and restaurants. Plenty of real ale pubs in both, although Warwick probably has more than Leam.

The Walton Hall has some pretty nice rooms. Not too far.
Check when you book what rooms are available, we stayed in a fab room overlooking the rear gardens which was one of the old proper bedrooms, floor to ceiling windows etc. Not too dear either; but not all rooms are as good.

You have to admit though, that was a little bit funny? I chuckled.

I mis spelt the title. That was why he made the joke

I'm only a few miles from there, if you want some more country options rather than Leamington or Warwick here are some:

Fawsley Hall
http://www.handpickedhotels.co.uk/hotels/fawsleyha...
Depends if you want to push the boat out - very nice, a bit £££ but no more than c20 mins

Wroxton House Hotel
http://www.bw-wroxtonhousehotel.co.uk/contact
Yes it's a Best Western but it's a good hotel and bar, about 10 mins away

Red Lion Adderbury
https://www.oldenglishinns.co.uk/our-locations/the...
Good food, nice village

Glebe Hotel Barford
http://www.glebehotel.co.uk/
Not been for a while but used to be good

Castle at Edgehill
http://www.castleatedgehill.co.uk/
Great views, good pub. Close

Rich.

We are booked into Haseley Coach house on our way down to Cornwall for our hols this year.

It seems to get a pretty decent rep on Tripadvisor.

Some great suggestions there.

Thanks.

I'm liking the look of the Red Lion. No pribs with Best Western. Stayed in a few and they've been fine.

So more expensive this time of year?

The Kenilworth is a nice hotel. I'd not recommend the other hotels in Kenilworth tho. It has nice pubs

Leamington has nice places to eat, the pubs can be rough, and there's not really any nice hotels other than the Adams

Warwick has the nice pubs and a few hotels, The Globe & Machado Gallery B&B spring to mind

Stratford upon Avon has the nice hotels but not the pubs

The Glebe at Barford is still lovely

I'll add Studley Castle, nothing nearby but has the oak beamed bar, good food & good rooms all in one place

No... It's a nice place, but very much geared towards Weddings, and not just one a day...

I'm glad of that - I had my wedding reception there in '99, might go back and have a look
