Gloucester accommodation

Post by the_git »

Anyone got any ideas, im looking at the travellodge in Cheltemham which is cheap at the moment. Anyone got any ideas for hotels in Glaws itself?

Just booked teh Edward Hotel - 10 mins from ground / town - it is certainly not the ritz but at £47.50 per room with full cooked english brekkie, it suits the pocket.

Other options are the Holiday In which is £63
Get in the f%~king bag.

I booked the Edward hotel, there seems to be a lack of hotels in Gloucester itself but a lot about the local area that are a short taxi journey away.

Booked into the Longford Inn, they have Wadworth 6X on tap. Do I remember you singing its praises UM?

Hmmmm 6X.... Almost every pub in Wiltshire even if they're tied to another brewery, has 6X. Great stuff.

Also, look out for Tanglefoot - does exactly what it says on the tin...

Don't ask about the Cornish beer called Crippledick

The only thing is it's two miles out of town, which would put me off. So I think I'll go for the one of the B&Bs near the ground (See Jim the Glaws fan's list)
We're in the Premier Travel inn (Longford Inn) - second on Jim's list!

Ah yes - Wadworth's 6X - the beer of beers :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap:

As the Longford Arms is 10 minutes walk from the ground - they have a car park and Wadworths my search for accommodation has come to and end and they will be having the pleasure of putting the Uncle up next January.

Now I have to start looking at how to get to France!!

Gloucester is supposed to be a really rough spot and almost everyone is advising to book accomodation in Cheltenham, think they call it the 'nam.

Talking to someone I know in B'ham, she gives the following tips:
as a warning once you been to the match there is pretty much nothing else in Gloucester but the Cathedral! and that will not fill a weekend - and it gets shut if they are filming Harry Potter! Birmingham can fill a weekend, plenty to see and do and for £4.50 you can get unlimited travel on the bus and trains within the West Midlands region!
once your flights are sorted you can get a cheap day return for about £15 from Birmingham
Birmingham is 40mins from Gloucester
