As PS says, Its got to be Fielden Court Hotel. Nice and friendly, very good breakfast, clean, and quiet enough for study in the evenings. They have study tables and desk lamps in the rooms for your homework. Rooms vary quite a bit in shape and size (all en-suite), so if you get one you like, ask for it again when you book. I have stayed there on many occasions and there always seemed to be studying pilots staying there. However, may be quieter now that PPSC have sadly gone. There were often fully booked in the past.. .They are very helpful and if you need a bigger table or lamp (I'm over 40 !) just ask. They will also get up early and give you a full english breakfast when you have an IR test in the morning so you can still be at PAT at 0800.. .It is about 15 mins easy drive from EGHH and 3 mins from the seafront. So when your head won't take in any more information, you can go for a walk along the front.. .Reasonable pub (which also serves food) 4 mins walk away.. .What more could you want?
