Title: Holiday Inn Express for Cropredy?
Post by: Metro96 (Keith) on March 13, 2015, 10:26:24 AM
Hi all,
I've just been trying to book in at the Holiday Inn Express in Banbury for the Wednesday night before Cropredy.
Unfortunately I have hit a number of brick walls.
Does it still exist? (Any local info?)

Apparently it's in the process of changing ownership, I enquired with them last week as I already had a booking for the 12th August

I was told my booking was being honoured as the hotel will be reopening as A Premier Inn from early July,

It's already disappeared from Holiday Inn websites and my booking was not showing on their loyalty site promoting me to ring the hotel direct

I've been looking this morning & there is very little available for a family of 4 even close to Banbury.
Looks like either Cherwell Valley Services (travel lodge) or camping at Anita's and having to strike camp early Thursday morning.

This is a very good B&B and they have family rooms

We used to stay there in the chalet rooms until it became very expensive on that particular weekend in August!  ::)
