Places to Stay Locally to the Lotus Festival 2018

Caister Hall isn't too bad actually and has a massive car park and well off the beaten track so your cars should be safe. Just depends whether they have a wedding on. Its a big wedding venue kind of hotel.

Will the reservations be prioritized after the 0-60 figures?

[march]

I have just booked into Caistor Hall - there were some rooms available when I booked, just not the cheap ones (having said that they were still cheaper than Dunston).

[RODOLPHESPRIT]

De booked at the holyday inn finaly

[esprit gt3 nickbassett]

We got in to Caistor Friday & Saturday nights (took Kimbers' and March's recommends)...  Who else is going to be there?

See you there!

Nick & Karen Bassett.

March/Mark; your V8 is the same colour as our GT3? (Azure Blue).  Got to be a photo opportunity there somewhere at Caistor?!

Park farm is very local to Lotus and Dunston Hall. It’s only 10 minutes away to meet up with the others

Booked Friday until Sunday at Caistor Hall.

[Chillidoggy]

We’re in the South Norfolk guest house somewhere near Hethel. £80 for a room, though that was reasonable. 

[Kimbers]

@nigeninja and very local to me (just other side of Hethersett) so if you want to get a taxi with me (or a lift from someone I can get a lift from) Friday evening to go have drinks at Dunston then happy to car share! Maybe I could meet you early Saturday and we can drive to Dunston to meet everyone before driving to Hethel?

[nigeninja]

Friday afternoon/evening taxi share sounds like a plan to me mate,and so does the early Saturday meet,i will run the plan passed her in doors but cant see a problem ,if she is still coming that is

Thanks for the recommendations. I've just booked Casitor hall for the friday night. I'll be in a black S1 Elise.

[Kimbers]

All those staying at Caister Hall. This is only just round the corner from Dunston Hall where drinks will be had Friday and easy to come meet everyone on the Saturday morning before we leave for the factory so we can travel together!

If you have access to a computer and the internet you can use a browser to navigate to:  http://www.caistorhall.com/booking/

Here you can check availability and prices.

I didn't realise that Caistor had rooms as I looked on Booking.com and said it was sold out so booked a B&B near Spooners Row.

Then I clicked the link to the actual hotel and still has rooms available. Managed to cancel the B&B fortunately.

See you there Friday night.

[C8RKH]

@Composite guruThat's because Booking.Com pre-books an "allocation" of rooms from the hotels and then sells them at a discounted rate as they got a "volume discount" for booking so many.

So usually when it says "no more rooms" what they mean is that they have sold their allocation of rooms...  The general rule is you usually get the best rate when booking in advance from the hotels own website.  I stay around 160-200 nights a year in hotels and this is generally the rule that works for me.
