Possibly doing my next BC coaching course up at Inners - unless anything more local comes up lol

Will need accommodation for a Friday and Saturday night - don't fancy driving back to Staffordshire after a days riding...

Something cheap and bike friendly - don't mind a bit of a drive to the trials - say 30 minutes.

TIA

a premier inn is always a safe bet as they have a bike in room policy

That was my first thought, closest Premier Inn I can find is in Dalkeith, and that's £220 for 2 nights.

Will need to book it twice about a month apart as there are 2 separate development days - puts the overall cost of the course at best park of £1k factoring in fuel, food and 2 weekends in a hotel.....

Hence the reason I'm looking for cheap, as I can claim the course fees back through the club but not the accommodation etc.

Thanks, checked dates and they're £130/night for the weekends....

 

Half tempted with www.glentressforestlodges.co.uk - camping pod and bike storage for £134 for the 2 nights.

Can't to suggest the forest lodges at glentress, but you've already seen them! You can ride up to inners no problem from there and there's a drying room should you need it!

+1 for forest lodges! Plenty space to have bike inside, acces to stove, microwave and fridge/freezer in the main building, great showers, plenty warm enough inside.

I've been thinking about posting this question myself. I'm dying to come up and check out Glentress and the Golfie but I'll be flying solo.

Just want a cheap spot and safe bike storage. Camping pods look alright.

Cleikum Mill.Lodge in Innerleithen s well regarded.

Very secure bike storage and reasonable prices with a drying room and workshop.

Gets booked up well in advance though.

A few ways to book with choices to suit group size .. single rooms tend to be mid week.when its quieter.

Are places really less friendly if you have a cheap bike? 😉
