Aftermnoon one and all.
Was just looking at the
http://www.scottishsmallholdershow.co.uk/travel-accommodation/
in order that Herself and I can plan a weekend away in September

Went to find the Lanark Agri centre and Google Maps does not recognise the address you have for it.
Google has it on Hyndford Road,
http://www.scottishsmallholdershow.co.uk/travel-accommodation/
has it on Hyndland Road.

Wife loves going to Glasgow. I am sure we can combine it with a long weekend there and she will be very happy....me too

Hope to see y'all there?!

Just to clarify - it's Hyndford Road (Dan will change the website asap

), but there will be signage to get you to the right place on the day

Don't go booking accomodation just yet though, I'm working on negotiating group discounts at local hotels for festival visitors - details will go on here and on the festival website as soon as I've got it confirmed.
I've also got a wee idea for 'entertainment' the night before for anyone staying in the area (still in the thought process) but full updates as and when

It's only 7 months away now, be here before you know it

Morning HH,

Any update on the accommodation possibilities?
Wife has started having a look around that area to see what's available (we will make a wee holiday of it and arrive Frday and stay in the area until Monday).

Hiya SS

The Lint Mill has one B&B room available - pm them on here

The Scottish Equestrian Hotel is right across the road from the market, their rooms are very reasonably priced already so can't discount further

However they've said they'll give a 10% discount on all food ordered in their bistro to festival goers

Website is here http://www.scottishequestrianhotel.com/

There is also a large hotel and self catering bunkhouses in New Lanark (5 mins from the market) but when I enquired they said they had no availability

Their website is here if you want to check it out http://newlanarkhotel.co.uk/

The Cartland Bridge Hotel is lovely (but no discounts $:-\$ ) and it's close - about 10 minutes from the market.

The Popinjay Hotel is also good, and around 15 minutes from the market http://www.popinjayhotel.com/, or slightly further away (30 minutes) is the Shawlands Park Hotel http://www.shawlandsparkhotel.co.uk/.

There will be more, I've just not had much of a chance to check them out yet

We're about 45 minutes from the L & S Mart and my next door neighbour has a B & B, as has Sandy.

Thanks HH,

Have sent details to Herself so she can check them out (I PM'd Lint Mill also).

I'll start a new thread on accommodation shortly then, if anyone finds any good deals they can let us all know:-)

Thanks HH,

Just to let you know we are now "booked up" for the mill:-) Super looking mini-hols for me & Herself.

For anyone else looking at the moment the Innkeepers lodge, about 30 mins up the road, is currently available for around 108 GBP total for the three nights for 2 people sharing including brekkie!! Wife found that via Booking.com
