Hi,


A group of girlfriends and myself (6 all together) are looking for a holiday cottage

to rent for a few days in August on a budget. So far we have been looking at options

in Devon/Dorset area but are very open to suggestions. If anyone has any recommendations for locations

or any good websites/agencies to go through to find a property please

let me know.


Thanks!

I'd guess that in August it would be difficult to rent a cottage for a few days i.e less than a week. Saying it's on a budget doesn't tell us much really as we are all on budgets even if they are different. Does it have to be by the coast? Does it have to be in England?


What are you hoping for ideally?

Have you thought of Center Parcs? I know my niece had a "sort of" hen party at one. Apparently fabulous spa for the evening, a variety of places to eat, good fun in pools and other activities plus, if you feel like it, you can just chill out in their cottages with wine and easy cook food from the shops. Having arrived the only way around is by bike.

Thanks so much for the suggestions! Yes i'll look into CP, sounds great. To give you

a bit more info... when I say budget I mean very tight budget, no more ideally than ?100

per person (6) for accommodation. It doesn't have to be by the coast, nor in England as long

as it is easy travel by car or train. These were just our starting points.

Fifty quid per head per night in high season is a very tight budget. For that I'd actually go on a girls camping holiday somewhere with decent scenery like Dorset or Devon. And spend what you save on eating out in decent places locally. Lots of great pubs/restaurant eateries down there too. Plus I just think camping is a good fun. It only sucks if it rains.

    • I didn't say wedge it "slightly" open. I meant to wedge it fully open. 
    • I have a rescue Spanish greyhound (galgo) from the charity mentioned above. You can contact Greyhounds in Need or one of the more local Kent greyhound rescue charities. They are fantastic family dogs. They do love walkies 2 or 3 times a day but they actually don't need to be walked too far and then they will happily loaf around on the sofa being very chill. They are brilliant with kids but not recommended if you own a cat as they have a strong prey drive. They also should be kept on the lead in local parks. They prefer to be around other sight-hounds (well my one does) and there are loads of local sighthound owners in Peckham, Crystal Palace etc and a very lively WhatsApp group that is brilliant if you need dog sitting as you can usually find someone to do that for free in return for you looking after the dog at a later date etc.
    • @Jenijenjen I assure you we are always polite and friendly too! Which is why the behaviour we have been receiving is so frustrating. The kids always leave her with a “Thank you have a lovely day”  Our concern is leaving the gate slightly wedged doesn’t stop the action of slamming it open and closed…still leading to damage  
    • If you're talking about who I think you are, I find them more exuberant than rude and usually smiling and polite. But then, I'm usually smiling and polite to them. Can you not wedge open your gate when you're expecting them?
