Sorry for the delay Kaz.
Have been in touch with the hotel and discussed a large group booking they said that they don't do discounts as such but the very nice lady suggested that we book through this web site
http://www.4hotels.co.uk/uk/southport.html and we get a substantial discount on the counter price, so a double room is £65 and a single is £50 per night B&B.
I have checked out (well I've had my secretery check out) other hotels and they all seem to be guest houses that don't have the number of rooms we require.
So I rekon we just get on with it and start booking if thats ok with you lot??
