Tel: 01722 342860 from the Milford Hall Hotel, the receptionist was very helpful in advising us of places to visit like the market and various clothing shops (there are a lot of good ones like Kew, WhiteStuff, and the Crew Clothing company dotted around, when i say good, selling practical comfortable clothes that look like they will last and at a reasonable price.

Milford Hall Hotel

http://www.milfordhallhotel.com/home. We passed several b&b's on the way up Castle Street and there were plenty to choose from in the town. We hadn't booked anythiing and were planning to drive back home late at night if nothing was available. But virtually all the hotels and b&bs had vacancies, but as it was nearing 9pm we decided the Milford Hall Hotel we passed which had a large customer car park and a 4 star AA rating advertised on the front was worth a try.

Got our car from Airport Cars to Gatwick 8.30am Saturday, arriving at Gatwick about 10am to check in for a 1pm flight. Once we had shown our tickets and passports and checked in our luggage we then went through airport security. I grabbed more of the little plastic bags than I really needed to put my liquids in my hand luggage in and put nearly everything in one except a small bottle of roll-on deodorant that had 50ml (less than the allowance) printed on the back.
