Cottage, bunkhouse, wooden hut?

Anything at all?

Thanks and regards and a hug that lingers just a little too long..

Thanks. We did consider that travel lodge thingy. I'm not sure how they'll react to muddy bikes being dragged into the rooms :-/

Any other suggestions anyone?!

Not to be too bitchy but are you sure you want to make that much effort for the chase?

I'll bet they are well used to bikers comign to the lodges from the chase, give em a ring and ask. and there are bike washes at the chase.

EDIT - Not sure if they're fully open until the summer though,I heard last year they were going to be doing this so assumed it would be open.

Fr0sty - well I wouldn't perhaps make that much effort on my own but I'm taking a group of mostly newbie work mates. Tbh they're just as keen on being away for a night and drinking loads of beer as they are on riding!

We recently had a trip to Dalby and stayed over - one third of the group dropped out after 6 miles, another third after a further 6 miles and that left the actual real bikers to complete it and ride back to Pickering!

Hmm those pods look interesting. I'd be happy in one but I'm not sure the rest would!

So... We went back in March and stayed in the Rugely travelodge which itself was fine and functional. However, Rugely itself wasn't quite so welcoming in terms of evening beer and food.

We're planning on returning to Cannock soon so.. Any further suggestions for accommodation for up to ten people's?!?

Well if you want a town nearish the Chase, Lichfield is the 'nicest' for a night out. Stafford is OK. Rugeley and Cannock are both small ex mining towns.
