View Full Version : Halfpenny Green Accomodation
I'm thinking of booking up my IR here, but wanted to check out local accomodation available & prices before committing.
Has anybody got any recommendations from past experience?? I don't want to be too far, nor too exensive! So that local Country Club with the 18-hole course may have to wait for another time.
Many thanks for any comments.

Hi,
I did my MCC with WHFC last year and stayed in Bridgnorth. Only takes about 10 - 15 mins to get to the flight centre from there.
I stayed in two B&B's when I was there, both very hospitable, quiet, clean and within walking distance of High/Low town!
Do a search in google, or as you say, speak to the instructors. Richard will sort you out.
Enjoy the IR!

Did my MCC at WFC and stayed at the Laurels B&B - www.thelaurelsbandb.co.uk/index.htm
Absolutely first class, swimming pool aswell as all the usual comforts from home. The landlady(good ol' Josie!) even made me lunch everyday at no extra cost! Its roughly 5 minutes drive from the airfield and theres a reasonable little pub just a few minutes walk up road from the B&B. Myself and my mcc partner ate there every night, not expensive either. PM if you like and I'll give you all the details(cost etc).

What is WFC? ;) HGFC have an accommodation list. The staff are willing to venture opinions on certain places.
Now will you have Malcolm or Philip if you go ahead? :)

WFC - 'Wolverhampton Flight Centre'(when I was there). Perhaps its changed its name since then though.
Nice to see the spelling Police are put again aswell!!:=:ugh::ugh:

A man of your experience will have used the correct term ;)
Many thanks for all your help on this matter! Much appreciated.
MikeCR, I'll take a good look at that B&B - first impressions are that it looks very nice indeed!

Nah wasn't me. By rocket I assume you mean riding the skip with vRS on the back? http://forums.totalwar.org/vb/images/smilies/misc/ht_charge.gif
I think the Six Ashes place is quite popular.

Yes - but there is a PA44 Seminole available for those who want a more conventional aeroplane.
