A pair of stories today in the Telegraph and Mail Online have attacked the BBC for "extravagance" over its hotel costs while filming Lambing Live.
The crew stayed at the Dalmahoy Marriott, paying a rate of £58 a night. This was the closest hotel to the filming location that was able to accommodate this number and is located on a main road, which is necessary in case of bad weather. This was an economic and practical option which was within BBC policy guidelines.
