    Aye.

    We don't talk funny down here like they do up North.

    I suspect it's due to some sort of nasal mutation involving the adenoids.

    Probably why there aren't that many cottages available these days. :burninghousesmilie:

    She's bloody right. Find a hotel, cheapskate.

    .
    £1600 per person per week seems reasonable to me at this time of the year.

    Don't think Shell Island is the place for your missus. I spent many summer hols there in a tent and have very happy memories but I went back for a day trip recently and facilities have not changed much !!
    People just won't put up with what was normal back then - washing your teeth with a mug of water, digging a hole for the pan, living by torch/parafin light etc !!!
    Kids will love it of course...

    I automatically didn't as there are only 2 and I would stand more chance of winning the euro millions.

    Soooo, does anyone know the area well enough to recommend a caravan park/ cottage / b&b / hotel?

    Or, can anyone recommend a posh tent, that SY02 may like. Her key objections being nipping to the loo in the middle of the night, so some sort of portaloo tent annex could mitigate this.
