@Marcus Barlow - Show and Events Co-ordinatorI booked direct for £98 (excludes breakfast) and is cancellable until the day before. Happy with that. 

 

I'm presuming you've sorted parking with them? Cos my booking says subject to availability 

[Steve Bosworth]

We’ve booked direct with hotel 👍🏻

@Steve Bosworth see below from hotel have you booked the correct Holiday Inn Scotch Corner not Darlington North?

 

Hi Marcus,

 

I have checked the whole of booking.com and no reservation under that number either.

 

Has he definitely booked at Darlington Scotch Corner and not Darlington North?

 

Kind Regards,

Great!😩

[Steve Bosworth]

Well looks like I had booked the north one! As I didn’t realise there was 2! 
managed to cancel my booking but looks like there are no rooms left for scotch corner. So could be then end of our trip before it starts.

@Steve Bosworth do not despair! you will need to ring/email reservations and book direct with hotel (ie not through booking.com) club has 20 reserved rooms up until one calendar month before which is next Thursday 23rd May, after which any left are released back for general public. Do you want me to email Emma at reservations and give her a heads up?

[Steve Bosworth]

I’ve sent the reservation email a request and I’ll call tomorrow. Many thanks for the heads up 👍🏻
