Hiya Folks,

I am organising a training event in Hillsborough Barracks and I’m looking for accommodation for several people.

It needs to be a reasonable standard, safe etc and handy for the barracks (easy walking distance if possible).

I know the Garrison and that’s ideal but I also need somewhere else.

Thanks

Mark

Hi Mark,

I can't vouch for it personally, having never stayed there, but The Hillsborough Hotel on Langsett Road is close to the Barracks:

It only has 6 rooms, but it does have the advantage of having a microbrewery on site!

The 4 reviews on tripadvisor are very encouraging:

Another nearby option is Coniston Guesthouse, located just off Middlewood Road and just a few minutes walk from the Barracks:

Again, the 3 reviews on tripadvisor are very positive:

If you'd prefer one of the bigger city centre hotels (eg Leopold Hotel or Mercure St Paul's), then it would be a fairly straightforward commute to Hillsborough Barracks as the Supertram runs along Langsett Road and stops close to the Barracks:

If you're looking for somewhere to have lunch, be sure to visit Beres Pork Shop (quite a few outlets around the Hillsborough area) for the world's finest hot pork, stuffing and apple sauce sandwiches!

This looks like excellent advice mate. The Hillsborough Hotel is within a mile of the venue and looks exactly the sort of place I’m looking for and the Coniston guesthouse looks like a good reserve.

Thanks (again)

Mark

No worries, mate - glad I could help!

If I come across any more reviews or information on the local Sheffield forums, I'll let you know.

Cheers,

Jonathan
