I don't know the stars, but Mizen Head is the best hotel I know in Bamburgh, though its really a restaurant with rooms, but a much more upscale version of this compared to the Lord Crewe.

Victoria is slightly better than Sunningdale, but not enough to ignore whichever is cheaper on the day.

There is also Links Hotel in Seahouses, never stayed there though. Seahouses is much less quaint compared to Bamburgh, but it has more dining options.

Make sure to book early because prices go up dramatically in the area anytime near summer.

Thanks Sean.


The Mizen Head sounds like the one. I’m looking ahead to 2021 here so I’ll be sure to be early.

FWIW four of us stayed in an excellent AirBnB, with impressivley large and well furnished kitchen/dining room and sitting room in Seahouses for less than £40 ppph, I'm increasingly using AirBnB for golf trips.

Interesting. The more I use AirBnB the more I begin to appreciate hotels. I'm also not sure they are that much cheaper if at all cheaper most of the time, unless you can get a good number of you together.

Ally,


I stayed at the Mizen Head for the 3 nights of the BUDA.  It was a superior room (Room #3). It was large by European standards and relatively modern with a king bed.  They were accommodating of my relatively late arrival and early breakfast requirements.  The breakfast was good.  There is off street parking in front of the hotel.  The restaurant seemed to be busy for dinner, although I didn't eat there.  I'd recommend it.

Agree, Niall. We rented a nice 3-bedroom flat in Gullane for four nights. With three sharing it was reasonable considering each of us wanted our own private bedroom. But, it was nice having a hot breakfast cooked for me each morning along with fresh towels each day in our Bamburgh hotel. AirBNB adds extra charges to a rental that runs up the price. I prefer VRBO.

I believe James Boon has it and forgot to bring it to the event.

I was going to reply saying that I understand the Buda Cup is safe and well, but some idiot forgot to bring it to the event, but Jerry beat me to it. If I can get my head around posting pictures, I'll post one of the cup show its safe and well, plus I've got some pictures to add to the picture thread as well...  ::)


Cheers,

I fervently believe it should now be renamed the Boona Cup.

Obviously Boony knew the team would retain the cup, and he didn't want it to disappear to perhaps the wilds of Canada, but to remain in civilized (??? have you seen their parliament in action ???) UK.

Word I get is Boony has pulled a permit to add a trophy room onto his house.  Anyone seen the The King’s Putter lately?  Claret Jug?
