Christmas meet up

I'm pretty much in same boat as Cam. comfy bed, comfy bar, restaurant that doesn't serve reheated food. Also, I'm thinking I'll prob only get there for the Saturday night.

Can’t find that it has a bar I thought it had but the other three do Briary wood has 4 & good reviews have a look & see which other you fancy . I could get us all a week at Pine Lakes Resort with my timeshare for £300 but I don’t think anyone can stay that long . Let me know which one you fancy. x

Forgot to add, I only drink bollingers from a crystal glass served on a purple velvet pillow.

Your a right lot of divas you lot worse than woman x

Any thoughts on Edinburgh some nice hotels & Christmas markets , plus we can travel by rail if we wanted ? x

McQueen has never been.

Iv been a lot worked up there as well nice place especially in December x

Err i dont want to travel alot wasting time, stick in the middle of us all, 2 hour drive innit
It dont need to be Ambleside i just thought there was something to do if it wasnt raining, big if

Carol I bet you did not realize how hard we are to please,well Reg is . For me and Cam the lakes or Yorkshire etc is not a problem. Cam likes driving lol. Good luck with your search

Right been up most of the night trying to sort this so we want a hotel not a B&B or Guesthouse, no dogs, NO FORIGNERS    ( says he that has property in a foreign country) 4* or up, near a town, with a bar. 
We have the 3 original ones minus the Diamond hotel( sorry thought it had a bar or would not of picked it ) 

I have also found a good deal which will go quickly it is McDonald hotel Leeming house 4* Penrith 
Executive room 
Half board
Cream tea
Welcome drink on arrival 
Works out at £339 per couple ( no discount for single occupancy. 


A quick one to throw in the mix The Wateredge Inn maybe cheaper but has 9.3 Superb for its reviews & is in a prime position .


Failing this we could all fly to Prague in a 5 star hotel see all the lovely sights, get pissed every night on Vodka & still get change out of £400 


I will come back to this tonight so let me know what you think & lets get it booked as rooms are disappearing fast at all venues   x

Cam will see this tonight and we will get back to you. We have to decide soon so Cam can get the time off and arrangements made.

Don't worry Trish I have dealt with bigger fish than Reg he's a pussy cat really just likes to be the centre of attention     X

We frequent wateredge for lunch at the side of Windermere, but if it rains which it will in the Lake district then you have to taxi of walk up to Ambleside, quite a way
If a hotel is putting on specials then there is something up with the place,
Bit like Tenerife, yes Palm mar is value for money but your captured unless you drive or have a bono card
You need to be in the centre for alternative things to do depending on the weather,
I for one dont like to be captured and staring out of the window, I go mental

Carol, wherever you decide, I'm up for it, but only the 2 nights for us and I'm staying in the UK!

Right let’s get this into perspective if you want a hotel I’m down to Briery Wood Hotel or Langdale chase most of the rooms have gone on the others & we need 4 so it’s either one of those or a different destination x

Thats Coniston

Right book either Carol, If there shite i will drive home
