Maybe they just didn't like the sound of Stu then
Yes will need to book a restaurant but there should be loads in Bakewell.................shouldn't there?
Shaun

That crossed my mind at the time but I've only met him once (Ripon?) and can't recall an accent. More a reflection on the digs rather than Stu mind! If I went to these do's I be tempted to take the campervan (I don't like hotels-and some of the stereotypes you find in them).. But if I took the campervan, then the Lotus would be at home in the garage...which defeats the purpose -d'oh!

You can normally only book for two nights minimum, but someone had booked a Thursday and Friday and I just wanted Saturday so they said OK!

Looking forward to it

I tried to book a couple of weeks ago but as you say, they wouldn't let me book one night. So we are in a B&B in Bakewell - Avenue house. Happy to provide a continental breakfast in the morning. https://www.bedandbreakfast.eu/bed-and- ... e/2691029/ If we all have the evening meal at the Bagshaw its not far for us to pop round.

The Bagshaw isn't really a hotel! It's a virtually un-manned set of rooms in a lovely old building. No restaurant. No bar. We'll be eating in town somewhere I'd think.

Yep. Hopefully we will all find a nice place in Bakewell

Has everyone else had to pay 50% deposit. It wasnt made clear when we booked but there was a charge on Carol's credit card

Bagshaw have just sent me an email with everyone else's email address attached - their complete guest list!!! I have phoned and asked them to recall the email if they can and pointed out what a serious breach of confidentiality this is! Maybe everyone else can ring as well to reinforce this message! What a set-up

Pete

I've cancelled my booking at the Bagshaw and booked into the Grouse and Claret at Rowsley. Half the price!

Pete

Unfortunately Lotus In The Peak has now been cancelled.

Yes - I've had an email confirming repayment of fee.

Pete

Where were you all!



We still had the B&B booked so decided to go anyway. Would recommend the Avenue. Slightly odd set up as you have the Manners Pub/restaurant/B&B and 200 yards away is the Avenue owned by the same people. So we stayed in the Avenue but breakfast was in the Manners. Very friendly staff and excellent breakfast - not that we usually have time for breakfast when on LITP. The town centre is a short walk away - we pre booked an Indian meal for Saturday night but there are several Pubs/restaurants located in the town. Would definitely stay there again. I think the Avenue has 7 rooms - not sure how many at the Manners. Had a good drive around yesterday and stopped for a drink at the Charles Cotton - where we stayed last year. Not the same without you guys - see you next year,
