Holiday homes with an airstrip/aerodrome

[jkveenstra]

I'm thinking of making a trip from the Netherlands to places in Europe. I'm looking for great destinations with Holiday accommodation at airfields:

UK: Self Catering Holiday Cottage With Farm Airstrip Lanarkshire Central Scotland (http://www.stonehillcottage.co.uk/)
France: Page location d'Atlantic Air Park (http://www.atlanticairpark.com/old/aap_location.htm)
Germany: Ferienpark am Bernsteinsee | Flugplatz (http://www.ferienpark-bernsteinsee.de/flugplatz.html)
Netherlands: Texel International Airport - Vliegveld Texel - Flugplatz Texel - EHTX (http://www.texelairport.nl/) (Just to make the list complete: i've been too many times at EHTX, so I will not go there ;-) )

I was wondering if you know any other accomodation (Hotel, Holiday Home, Campsite) at or near (walking distance) an Airport/airfield/farm strip?

Sorry, didn't see this:

http://www.pprune.org/private-flying/462958-accommodation-airfield-site.html

But it covers mainly UK accomodations. Any suggestions outside the UK?

Many UK gliding airfields have a small number of caravans on the airfield which they might allow short term rentals on.

Fadmoor in North Yorkshire has a holiday cottage on site and it's about 20 minute stroll to Gillamoor and the Royal Oak pub, which also has accomodation.

In Sweden there are some nice places.
Siljansnäs - Beautiful scenery
Siljan AirPark, Siljansnäs (http://www.siljanairpark.se/index.php?p=airpark)

Varberg/Getterön - Nice and small airfield on the westcoast with a very nice Café and short distance from the city.

If you have a tent there are also a lot more nice places.
Visingsö
Stegeborg

Good luck and fly safe!

Dornock in highlands has hotels nearby in walking distance.

Glenforsa has a hotel virtually on site but the field is shut just now.

Perth has a hotel on site.

Kirkwall there is a bus into town and loads to go and see around the island.

Dundee 5 min walk.

All in scotland.

Have a look at kirkwall for a trip. The orkney islands has stuipd amounts of stuff to see. And cracking flying on the way to get there.

Great cottage on site visit Eggesford Airfield Home (http://www.eggesfordairfield.co.uk).
Lots of interesting aircraft...

Have a look at Lane Farm in the Lockyears Farm Strip Guide. Two holiday cottages, with an 800m strip, in an idyllic location in rural mid Wales.

[DaveW]

Also in Devon is Sheepwash (http://www.westover-sheepwash.co.uk/), with holiday cottage apartments on site. I hope, and think, that the new owners have kept the strip open.

I remembered this great hotel in Hungary (never visited though)

I have friends who live on an Airpark in SW France accessed from Biscarrosse-Parentis airfield. They are doing pilot B&B, have space on their apron outside their front door for 3 aircraft; open-air swimming pool; AvGas on the airfield, ATC Mon-Fri (speak English) no landing fees. PM me with your email address for contact details.

Earls Colne - has a comfortable hotel right next to the strip (part asphalt), a golf course, tennis courts and is close to plenty of other airfields to make trips to as well as other interesting places.

[Maoraigh1]

Oban has a hotel at the end of the runway - with a spectacular view over the entrance to Loch Etive. Fuel and free mountain bike loan. Short flights to at least 5 islands with hotels within walking distance for a meal before return.

Have you tried the airstrip down in Muchamiel (Mutxamel), Spain, close to Alicante? aeroclubalicante.com (http://aeroclubalicante.com) That's the place to go if you was sun and beach close by, though you'll have to wait for another 3-4 weeks for it to be comfortable.
