Hi All,
Have spent all day trying to find a hotel near the show which accepts dogs in the room.
Can anyone help me out please!!!!!!!!!!!
- By Blue Date 28.04.05 14:11 UTC
Travel lodge and travel inns do.  How close do you want to be? I will try and have a look..

Hi Pam,
Thanks for that, any reasonable distance from the show is fine.
I did ring one of the travel inns in edinburgh earlier today and they said they do not accept dogs at all??
- By Blue Date 28.04.05 15:04 UTC
Forgot to ask what breed you had ( IE SIZE) and how many dogs will be in the room as some are more fussy than others.. Oh and what day :-))))

Pam

I am only 30 mins from the showground and I know there are 2 new travel lodges around me..

hi,
we need a room for the fri night and get ready for it we have two Bullmastiffs, not the most desirable I know but would be crated.
Thanks again

PS worked it out on Multimap it is 9 miles from the ground but both on same road. so 5 mins.
- By colkevar [in] Date 28.04.05 15:43 UTC
Thanks loads Pam,
Just booked it although when I called they said it was £10 per dog, will try and do what you said anyway........worth a try.lol
- By Blue Date 28.04.05 15:45 UTC
Did you get it at the discounted rate?? 

we have been lucky and not paid for the dogs yet, in fact if you saw us distracting the nightsman you would wet yourself.
- By colkevar [in] Date 28.04.05 15:49 UTC
yes we did, will have to get my husband to flash or something mind you it might take more than that to get two great bullies and a crate past them!!!!
- By Blue Date 28.04.05 15:53 UTC
honestly the desk counter is so high you will be fine. BFN
- By colkevar [in] Date 28.04.05 16:00 UTC
will have ago and let you know afterwards.........
good luck if you are going.
Just said to my hubby hope it is all worth while after this knowing my luck we will get booted anyway.
Will have a good day either way though!!
- By Blue Date 28.04.05 16:09 UTC
I am probably a bit bias as I am only 25 mins from the showground but I really like SKC.. 

My puppy dog is only out of puppy by a couple of days so I think the junior class will be too mature for him but we will see..  Good luck

Anyone coming from a northerly direction, remember the Forth Road Bridge has roadworks on it from now until almost end of June.  I will go via Stirling.
- By LindyLou [gb] Date 28.04.05 18:04 UTC
Not again :( It seems like we spent most of last year going the 'long way round' only to find it was actually quicker ;)
- By Blue Date 28.04.05 18:20 UTC
Hey and remember the bridge is a £1 from Sunday LOL

I am OK if I get over early.. :-))   I love the few shows we have there Christine as it is so close I am generally hours and hours away, it is the only one I don't have to hotel it
- By ChristineW Date 28.04.05 20:37 UTC
Pam,

Are you going up to the Redcastle open day on Saturday?
- By Blue Date 28.04.05 21:43 UTC
LOl Christine I was just reading the stuff .. and thinking about it..  May do.

Will let you know tomorrow and can track you down if you are there.

BFn Pam

good luck with the show
- By ClaireyS Date 30.04.05 19:25 UTC
Whilst on the subject, is the show ground anywhere near Edinburgh ? I have entered this show but seeing as I have now split with my OH I am now bringing a couple of friends so we want to stay in Edinburgh (ooh the scottish accents of all those hunky men - we hope  ;) ) Does anyone know of anywhere that will take 3 single girls and a couple of adolecsent Irish Setters :eek:  (the boys are well behaved, its we girls that are the concern ;)
- By Moonmaiden Date 30.04.05 20:14 UTC
LOLOLOLOL It is at Ingliston(sp) It's at the Airport

Can't help with the accommodation but I think there is a travel lodge not a million miles away
- By ChristineW Date 30.04.05 20:29 UTC
<<<<<<<<ooh the scottish accents of all those hunky men - we hope>>>>>>>>

Well I've lived here 20 years and I'm still waiting to discover them!  ;)
- By Blue Date 30.04.05 22:48 UTC
LOL Christine.

There are a few travel lodges around and in Edinburgh, it is also full to the brim of hotels and B&B's

Tourist board is good for them
- By Blue Date 30.04.05 22:48 UTC
Edinburgh City centre is only 10-15 mins from the showground though.
