A bit early I know but I am making my first trip down to show my puppy and was wondering of any recommendations of where to stay nearby...I know a few of you hide them up your sleeve.. But please..form me and wee bobby.. :-) LOL

I think I will travel down the night before..

Pam

Hi Pam, What are you looking for, hotel, B&B, motel? I used to live just outside Darlington, but am about 40 miles north now - still know the area, and am sure I can recomedn somewhere to suit.
Gwen

Hi Gwen, Well as I am a nightmare at getting lost preferably something close to the grounds so thought better to book as early as possible.

My freind and I will be travelling with 2 dogs..1 each so anything that would take the 2 dogs also in their cages of course. We would probably share a twin room somewhere to keep costs down as it is just for a head down for the night.

We are going to start a showing bank account to start budgeting our travelling as we are up in Fife and it stops the hubbys moaning.

Any help at all would be great..I don't know the area at all..

PS never answered yoru question , any of the above at all prices being the factor unfortunatly.

Pam

Are you talking about the darlington champ show, if so what day are you going on, i am there with Buffy on gun dog day going up there with a friend of mine who is showing her irish setter.

I should be there on Friday and Sunday, watching TTs and PBGVs Friday, and with the 'Yankees' Sunday.

Oh, and Pam, busy collecting a nice little list of hotels etc for you, will give details tomorrow.
Gwen

Hi all we are there on the Terrier day Friday the 13th ...aughhhhhhh..

Pam

Thats why ive NOT entered Darlington--- Friday 13th September---not a good date for my family !!!!

I know Irene understandably If I were you would not want to leave the house, Hope I have some luck though and don't get lost.

Pam, Ok Prelim. hotel details here - closest to the showground if the Blackwell Grange Moat House, literally opposite one side of the park where the show is located very nice hotel (4*). Scotts Corner Hotel (part of the Quality group) is located about 7 miles south of the show, directly off the A1M, I think thejudges are staying here again this year. Travelodge at Scots Corner - on the other side of the roundabout to the hotel, usual Travelodge things, accepts dogs. There is another Travelodge about 20 miles further North up the Motorway as well. If any of these sound interesting to you I will e-mail phone numbers if you need them - otherwise let meknow and I will dig around for more.

Gwen you are a gem. I will have awee look at them on the net. That so much for taking the time to do that. Your a wee star...

Thank you thank you.....

Pam..
