Plan now for the MacAuliffe Clann Rally in July 2012

Accommodation
The following is a list of accommodation facilities within a reasonable radius of Newmarket. It must be appreciated that Newmarket is a small town so there is not a lot of accommodation offered in the immediate area. More accommodation is available in the wider area. Roads are generally good so accommodation that is a few miles away should not be a problem. This list is by no means complete and will be added to as information becomes available and time permits. If you know of good accommodation that is not listed here I'd appreciate it if you could let me know. In listing accommodation facilities no particular recommendation can be made.

Hotels
