Flying destinations

Hi all, can anyone suggest a hotel or similar destination that has its own strip that I can fly into during the summer?

It depends what kind of food and decor your secretary prefers when she is in a hotel really.

Give us some more clues and we'll help

Kirkbride - west of Carlisle and quite close to the Lake District. The White Heather hotel on airfield boundary does wedding receptions and Sunday lunchs.

The hotel is close to the large hangers and the road.

As mentioned in another thread, Sywell with the Aviator Hotel is pretty cool:

Not to mention the delightful Chateau-la- Chassagne - Bergundy
www.chateau-la-chassagne.de

Has anyone else noted on the internet a "For Sale" sign on this hotel ?

By coincidence, I had an email from Château la Chassagne yesterday. They now give a different web address which is www.chateau4vacation.com


I've never been there myself, but it's on the list for the future!
