Can't Find Accommodation in Lincoln Sat 4 Dec for Christmas Market - Any Ideas??

stressedoutmum

trying to book a twin room for sat 4 dec for my sis and I to visit Lincoln xmas market. Would like to stop over and have a few drinks but cannot get booked anywhere. Have tried the tourist board and visitlincoln.com. Visitlincoln website says they have availability but then checks with the supplier and itt comes back full all the time. Called the tourist info and they said the city is full. Not looking for something grand just clean and with breakfast as we plan to be out shopping, eating and drinking most of the time.

you could try greetwell lodge, lincoln or dorrington house B&B http://www.dorringtonhouse.co.uk/Information.html this is just outside of lincoln but on a regular bus route and easy taxi ride
these may already be booked but worth a try

Thanks. Looking at the website they only have double rooms available and ideally we would like a twin.

Are you willing to drive in or catch the local park and ride scheme as you might be better off getting a hotel in Gainsborough or one of the surrounding villages, drive to the show ground and get the park and ride.

Lincoln at the time of the Christmas market is horrible for access and parking,

As we're travelling down I'd rather park up then using the local transport rather than trying to drive around the city so for anyone who knows Lincoln and can recommend accommodation within easy travelling distance using public transport would be absolutely great.

Hi, a quick search shows that the Bentley hotel still has some rooms available although they are quite costly at £100 a night. Other than that, a quick google search shows quite a few local b&bs although im not too sure on their availability. www . touristnetuk . co . uk seems to have a good list of b&bs too. I hope you manage to find somewhere as lincoln at christmas market time is lovely.
