Re: The Diary Room
Can't find the holiday thread anywhere... But...
Can anyone recommend a B&B or hotel near Pluckley in Kent? Am going for a wedding and it sounds like it's all a bit booked up since it's now a bit close

Re: Holiday Thread
How near must it be? Maybe not what you had in mind but Ashford is only one stop along the line and has plenty of big hotels so better chance of availability.

Re: Holiday Thread
So does the other pub in Pluckley (Mundy Bois) not do B & B? Have you tried Tripadvisor for alternative accommodation nearby?
