Theres a Travelodge on the A1 not far from the college, it used to be £19 a night if you booked far enough in advance.

I suppose you've tried The Hare and Hounds? I used to live near Old Warden and there's no shortage of B&Bs in the surrounding villages; Ickwell, Upper Caldecote, Shefford, Sandy if you have to.

Are you restricted by not having a car? Or low budget?

Cheers

Hi guys

Thanks a million for the advise. I've already started my search. I'm restricted by car and so anything close enough to transportation routes or not too costly by taxi.
thanks again guys.

Hi Greensman,


I (regrettably) live in Biggleswade, and from what I gather, the Stratton House Hotel is the best place to stay:

Stratton House Hotel Biggleswade Bedfordshire

Looking at their availability calendar, it seems they are available throughout - when are the exams? ... we could also catch up for a beer when you're in town (fellow wannabe).

Look for Anne Franklin at Manor Farm , she is appx 1.5 miles away from Shuttleworth. B&B £30 p/n in your own private block with en suite full sized bathroom and kitchen. I stayed 3 times , great everytime.
