DawnG Posted April 3, 2003 Report Share Posted April 3, 2003 Hi All, I know this is a bit of a long shot, but I've just decided to go to Cardiff this year and need to try to get a hotel booked up. . As I haven't been before and I know most of the hotels will be full by now, I wondered if anyone could help point me in the right direction of where I should look at trying to stay. :?: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shalewhale Posted April 3, 2003 Report Share Posted April 3, 2003 Bristol! No, seriously, you will have to try out in the towns and villages in the Valleys around Cardiff as anything near the City centre will be booked solid. Try for hotels/b+b's in Penarth. Nice area and you can get back there on the train after the GP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sloop Posted April 3, 2003 Report Share Posted April 3, 2003 Depends how you are travelling DawnG. I only recently (within the last week) booked a room in a hotel in Bridgend, west of Cardiff. Try www.visitwales.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DawnG Posted April 4, 2003 Author Report Share Posted April 4, 2003 Thanks Sloop, I'm actually flying down from Glasgow, so I won't have any transport when I get down there, that's why I was looking for somewhere as close or as close to local transport as possible. I know I've left it a bit late, but I'll try the visitwales website. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DawnG Posted April 10, 2003 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2003 I'm staying in the Holiday Inn, not the Express, although sounds as though it's going to be a good couple of night's there. Might need to try to meet up with you lot, us Scots always know how to party. When is everyone going down to Cardiff? I'm flying on Friday morning from Glasgow. Can't wait, this is the first time I've been at the GP, but everyone keeps telling me what a great weekend it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
