Eurotunnel tomorrow morning 10.20. So it’s either the Premier inn at the terminal, looks nice £75, or a luxury hotel in Farnborough 1.5 hours away, fairly close to the route from Cardiff to Folkestone, for free.

Is this ‘the’ move?

I find premier fine if I just need a place to sleep

Yeah. Premier inn will be ok but it’s a case of free and far or close and £75

Aviator for sure 🙂

I would go close as it will just be easier in the morning and you know you will definetly be there.
75 miles away means what 2 hrs before departure to be sure??? so you are leaving 8:00 ish anyway.
Safety first IMHO + no rushed breakfast
If the big move is someone else not picking up the tab? if you £75 is hardly here or there in the cost i assume

Good luck hope it all plays out well for you/family

Oh, shit, sorry didn’t see the ‘free’ bit – and you have to ask!! Luxury…

EDIT – thus saving half of my fee 😉

Thanks folks 🙂 It’s only a 6 month move, and no-one’s picking up the tab although I’m told you can claim it as an expense in Germany.
