Any suggestions for accommodation? Unless there are takers for my offer above to share a caravan we might well be bolloxed. We won't have camping equipment with us, so the wooden huts aren't really an option either.

I'd like to put us down in the attendance thread, but not until accommodation is sorted.

What camping equipment? Sleeping bag is all you need surely? I believe they rent them as well.

According to the web-site they do not rent bedding to the wig-wam dwellers. I'm investigating other places as no one seems to want to share a caravan.

I would give them a phone mate. They def rented out a sleeping bag last year.

They rented a sleeping bag to EssexDave and he was in a cabin.
Drop them an e-mail or call.

Obviously this could lead to to many mistakes!

The only way round this is that you phone us on the day of arrival, we would check the laundry situation and if we have linen available, put a note on the key for the cleaner to drop it of in your accommodation.

We are building a new web site, but for the moment this is the only way.

Further enquiries about booking linen by email or phone when we book the hut, resulted in the same answer - basically phone on the morning of your arrival and we'll see if anything is available!! Sorry I'm not prepared to book with anywhere so half-arsed that we won't know if we have a bed until we actually turn up.

dont know if its booked but there is this B&B a mile away from the Inn. http://www.applecrossbandb.co.uk/

Thanks Lance, emailed them three days ago and still no reply. I'll try phoning........

It might take them a wee while to get back to you at this time of year. I don't think there's anyone about the place. It took them a while to get back to me when I was organising the GM lunch break a couple of years ago. Don't give up they will get back to you, its just the fact you're now working in Applecross time.

Booked by the magic of the telephone, email a bit beyond them I think!
