Will a taxi then be the best bet to get to the travel lodge in Dunchurch. Is their some shops around the Hotel to pick up water, fruit, snack food etc or do I need to do that in Rugby. And finally what are the choices for dinner is it the travel lodge or back into rugby. Thanks for the help Cheers LD
