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.

    • We've got a Victorian coal hole cellar with a mud floor and after a couple of severe water leaks, I've taken more of an interest in the state of the dampness.  I've been running a dehumidifier for the past couple of weeks following a small water pipe leak and whilst most of the floor is now bone dry, there are damp patches along most of the wall adjoining the next house, a large damp patch in the middle of the floor that will not dry even with the dehumidifier right next to it and a patch of wet mud in a small hollow in the middle of the cellar.  An expert that lent us industrial drying equipment following a flood from a burst mains pipe said there will always be damp, but I'm a bit concerned in case there is a fundamental problem - any ideas from anyone with similar?
    • Best you post when you have an idea of dates  - waste  of everyone’s time
    • Hi there,  Looking for 10-12 jars (to start with) of local honey to fill a small section of a deli space in my work canteen. Please get in touch if you know of any community projects/small scale productions Cheers
    • Yeah, it did work out in the end, but it was way more stressful and expensive than it needed to be. He lost money. He had higher offers early on, but those buyers pulled out because of all the delays. On top of that, he spent a fortune on legal fees trying to get the neighbour to sign off on the freehold transfer. It dragged on for ages. In the end, he was lucky the final buyer stuck with it, but the price was lower, and the whole thing left a bad taste. A lesson learned. Share of freehold can be a real nightmare if the other owners aren’t cooperative. You’ve got to be 100 per cent sure everyone’s reasonable, otherwise it’s just not worth the hassle.
