i have a course to go on with work next week but have been told today i need to sort out my accomodation, company will pay though.

anyone know of anything/reccomendations? course is on marsh barton so was thinking something around the quay, ide area?

 

Hotel Barcelona especially if the comapny is paying, that or the southgate hotel, both close to each other and town.

 

take a tent and invoice em for Ł200

 

thanks! but i don't reckon the company will pay that much! they initially wanted me to drive there and back each day after all! (230 mile trip!)

 

Hi James

Depends on where your course is being held really. The Express by Holiday in is on the edge of Exeter Business park, near the M5, and is not a bad shout - there is a pub next to it called the barn owl which serves decent food!

I cant believe where u live mate its at the back of beyond. 230 mile round trip ? looks a cock stride on a map lol...thank fuck im in barnsley, centre of the uk and ideal for anywhere

 

Good seak there too

 

Have stayed at the Travelodge just on the Exeter juction off the M5 and is a nice one with a restaurant next door.

Also have stayed in a B and B up the road about 1/4 mile called the Exeter arms which does amazing food.

Have stayed in both and definatly recommend both and would stay there again. Both around the Ł50 ish a room per night so prob more in the price range.

HTH
