We are going to Yorkshire on the 9th august by boat as I cant go by plane but we use to go one of my friends ,but she has family there and with being in wheel chair I don't want to pay a lot ,its to see my family and friends and my grandchildren for my birthday and our wedding annivearsy which is on 25-26 july but if anyone can and let me now ,I think Rotheram round that way as were in care anyway thank you ,please if anyone lives that way your will invated to my birthday Joycex

Try Premier Inn Rotherham, they have a Premiersaver rate of £29 a night for a double room on the 10th Aug but it is £58 for the next night...still a bargain though, and they are usually very disability friendly. :-)

thank you but we will be staying 5 or 6 nights its cost us 700 on the boat as going from Holland to England ,so its getting which one is cheaper for that time

Premire inn is just about the cheapest in the country and have disabled rooms,

think you all we will have along I cant get out of bed only before hubby goes to week and the nurses do the rest for me ,so having alook above will be better for me thank you all a lot

the problem is Joyce, everywhere will be more expensive because you are slap bang in the middle of school holidays. Premier Inn are usually cheaper, unless you can find somewhere that has a special offer on. Lastminute.com is usually good. Good luck with finding something.

Premier Inn can be very good but check their disabled facilities carefully. We had a family get-together recently and all stayed at a Premier Inn. OH's sister and her husband booked a disabled room but found they had a normal bath with shower over. There were lots of hand grips around the bath and toilet but unless you could step up and down into a normal bath it was useless.

To be fair to Premier Inn they offered an immediate refund when it was pointed out to them that many disabled people need some sort of level or walk-in shower, not a few hand grips.

Message from one of my FB friends:

Whenever we visit the UK and return to Yorkshire, our place of birth and home 'till 14 years ago when we moved to Spain, we always stay at the Premier Inn junction either 39 or 40 M1. We have never paid more than 29 pounds a night. No breakfast included, and it is expensive to buy, however right next door is a large garden centre that do huge breakfasts for about 4 pounds. It is in a super position for travelling around Yorkshire too being right on the M1 and very near M62.

Thanks supercrutch ive got head aga thinking about it but all my grandchildren and ggrandchildren are coming to see me for my birthday ,and somefriends of gr also 2of my songs ,so have to chance days for that as we come on the 9 august and go back on back on the 15 ,at the moment its making me worry which I don't new
Lizp will be there on sunday to you

Is it possible for one of your children or grandchildren to find out about accommodation for you..............even better they could all club together to give you a birthday/anniversary treat :-D

what a great idea kitty

they could have a whip round ;-) ;-) ;-)

Or maybe visit you Joyce, wouldn't that be a wonderful thing :-D

You deserve a very happy birthday and anniversary and hope it all gets sorted out quickly for you. <3

cant one of your family put you up
that's what families are for :-D :-D

wish they could but they all have young children and I cant get up stairs one of my granddaughter is coming over with her hubby and three children ,I did,nt have room for them but one of my nurses who has farm is putting them up and its only five mins away from us ,as we don't have any bues or shops by us as its villiage so everyone goes by car to the shops,and thank you ladys

Is it too late to find a large cottage for the week that will sleep 8/10? then the cost will be reduced as meals could be prepared at home. Eating out is always the most expensive part of holidays.

Ok Joyce, talk to you soon

I don't suppose Joyce's family can get time off work at such late notice to spend a week in a cottage and I think Jan would find it too hectic with all the tribe there lol.

I have just been looking for us and it's expensive. We loved the cottage we stayed at last year but it was so far from anywhere for eating out in the evening which we like to do, I hate to have to drive for a meal as it means I can't relax and have a drink, and it's a waste of time expecting o.h. to do the driving in the evenings even tho it's usually still light.

I am sure we will get sorted Joyce, one way or t'other!

Liz we leave on the 9 and get into Newcastle 9 in the morning its the 10th which is sunday,so it has to be,we are going down to were our friend lives then Monday to Liverpool to visit my family there and see my ggrandaughter as I have not seen he yet,then my other friend then back to Sheffield ,than we are going home on thurs I thought it was going to be sat,but he has to take his mother to work and shoping the next day

All I can say is if I were lucky enough to still have my Mum I would do all the arranging for her to take the stress off as far as possible and knowing the dates of her birthday and anniversary would have planned ahead to have time off work.

I think you need to delegate the booking of places Joyce, you don't need the worry, neither does Jan as he was so poorly not long ago :-(

Can't his mother make other arrangements for shopping and work to give you a longer holiday.............you both need one!

I hope it is all sorted soon for you both, take care. <3
