We're disappointed to have to report that the accommodation around the area is poor. Below is listed some local B&Bs and we will have a shuttle running a circuit during the evening to take people back to their accommodation in this vicinity. For a higher standard of accommodation you can stay in the York area (about 17 miles from Aughton to the city centre), but the shuttle we are running won't go as far as York, so you will need to arrange transport for your return that evening.

Accommodation on the shuttle circuit (in no particular order):
