Accommodation

Wondering where to stay?
We will provide a 35 seater coach from two hotels, so you might prefer to stay at one of these. These are:
St Mellion International Resort Hotel (where the ceremony will take place) and The Holland Inn.
All prices are correct at the time of writing.


St Mellion
Hotel

The location is perfect at this 4* hotel. If you are staying here, getting to the ceremony will be a piece of cake. Just along the corridor, and you're there!

Because we are holding our ceremony there, St. Mellion have a special rate to offer our guests, but these are in very limited numbers due to golfing event happening at the same time. A double or twin room, which at full price is a substantial £170-190, will cost only £80 not including breakfast or £96 including breakfast. (Breakfast is normally £12.50 per person. We will be having breakfast and will be delighted to see you there if you can make it! Even those who are staying elsewhere would be very welcome to join us for breakfast.)

When booking, you will need to speak to Annmarie James, who is the Events Co-ordinator. You will need to pay a flat rate deposit of £50 to secure the booking. This will be subtracted from your total bill that you pay the morning you check out. Annmarie can also advise you as to the prices of other rooms available including suites. I am not sure that you can get the discount we have agreed using the internet booking system.

Please note that those staying at St. Mellion have free access to their leisure facilities (normally £10), so consider packing your swim gear/ gym kit! They have swimming pools, a gym, a sauna, a steam room and a jacuzzi.

The Holland Inn

This motel built around an old pub is in a useful location for our wedding day plans.
Easy to find and only 3.5 miles away from St. Mellion Hotel.

At the time of writing, it is £75 for a double room plus breakfast. Please see their website for up-to-date details and information about other rooms available. We asked if they might provide a discount for block bookings, but they said that they had no problem filling their 30 ensuite rooms during the tourist season. So if this is where you wish to stay, it is wise to book early.

Parking seems ample and rooms are on the ground level with own-door access from the car park.

If you do book with the Holland Inn, could you let us know in the comments box - this is just for the purposes of running the coach.

We advise that you book as soon as you can since early September is still the tourist season. We hope that even if some options are booked up, this list is comprehensive enough to give our guests a good choice and to save you some time looking around.

We have not personally stayed in any of these places. Ratings and reviews can sometimes be found at
www.tripadvisor.com or www.ukcampsite.co.uk

Welcome!

Hello and a very warm welcome to Charlie and Ed's wedding blog!

Glad you found it!

These pages are to help our guests before the wedding - finding accommodation, finding your way there - and hopefully we will put up photos of the wedding/ honeymoon after it is all over.

This is a photo taken the evening that Ed proposed, in September 2010, at Ta' Frenc restaurant in Gozo, Malta's sister island. Charlie had just completed her PADI Open Water and thought the meal out was because she'd qualified as a diver. She was delighted when he got down on one knee and presented the solitaire diamond ring he'd had made for her. They celebrated with champagne followed by a lovely meal.
