Talk Morgan Forums Thread Like Summary - The Aviator Hotel

I know many of you are interested in all things aviation, so I thought I do a feedback on last nights overnighter at The Aviator Hotel. It's based at Sywell Aerodrome, which was fairly active during the War, and they built 100 or so Lancasters on the site.It's still an active aerodrome, and has an aviation museum, Brooklands Flying School and one of the Dual Seat Spitfire flying experience. It's an hour drive from Duxford and Shuttleworth so could be a good base for visiting both.

Reasonably priced - we paid £108 for a standard double room including breakfasts. We had dinner last night and it came to £100 for 2 courses each and four drinks each so again fairly reasonable.

I'd describe it as 'quirky Premier Inn standard'. Immaculately cleain, really friendly staff and amazing decor. Despite it being only 10 miles from home, we're going to come back again, although in the summer to get better views of the aerodrome and suchlike, and the Museum will be open.

I'm always looking for a stop-off between home and my son in Halifax and this looks just the ticket. It will make a nice change from the Premier Inn at Chesterfield. Thanks for posting.

Looks very good!

Thanks Phil that will do nicely for a couple of nights for me on your tour - looking forward to it a lot

Remember flying in there in the late 90's to visit the museum. Interesting quirky place I recall.

That does look special. A grand treat.

Very smart decor.

Well worth a visit or a stay. lots of interesting aircraft fly in on summer days.

Sewell is also the location of the late Richard Grace’s aircraft restoration business. Now THAT would be an interesting visit for the MSCC or MTWC!

Many thanks for posting this, and the pictures. I think myself and the Long Haired Admiral might be staying there, either next week of February.
