and cos I’m distracting myself from children – I rang up for costs for the other hostels.
Great Yarmouth is cheaper – rooms would work out as follows:
1 x 2 bed – £44.50
2 x 4 beds – £89
2 x 6 beds – £135
1 x 8 beds – £185
1 x 10 beds – £235
Margate is also cheaper and slightly nicer in that it is an ex – hotel so some rooms are en suite. But let’s face it, it is Margate 😉
2 x 2 beds – £54
1 x 3 beds – £81
3 x 4 beds – £108
1 x 5 beds – £135
2 x 6 beds – £162
I think we can probably forget Truleigh Hill given it is more expensive and I definitely – and Ros and Ali would probably agree- wouldn’t be up for paying a couple of hundred quid to stay somewhere practically walking distance from home for a week! 🙂
For the second week Great Yarmouth, Helmsley and Margate all the same prices obviously, Minehead is more expensive. Kirkby Stephen, Lynton and Kings Lynn all slightly cheaper, but not much, and second week would mean no Sarah 🙁
ETA – I’ve created a yahoo group to continue discussions off my blog. Everyone who’s mentioned being interested has been invited – let me know if you don’t get the invite cos I must have got your email address wrong. 🙂
Alison and I think that Margate has the best spread of rooms (despite being opposite the beach – we’ll just tie Poppy up, shall we? 😉 ) so perhaps that would be the best one to go for?
Margate??? Is that not in the SE somewhere?
but it rules Joyce out completely doesn’t it J?
yeah that would be a monster 10 hour journey at least. I’m fairly lucky in that I have family half way down the country so it’s doable. Can’t say I’d look forward to it though 😉
i didn’t get an invite – dot me dot uk, in case you put dot co dot uk 🙂
Yes, we did realise that it made it a lot further south. I’d prefer York anyway tbh!
I can definately make it if its York.
Em also , not to be a pain…I would need a 4 bed room please as Ant just has problems sharing….sorry 🙂
If you did go to Margate and it was half term week then I could probably come. I won’t join Yahoo group as I know its an unlikely combination for you to pick but if you do choose it then me know!
