Hi Ellie,
Im so pleased you can come surfing in August! Paul, Rose and Kevin are coming too, so there will be five of us. Weve decided to return to New Sands, because the surf board hire is so cheap there.
Im starting to think about accommodation. We wont camp again after last year! I hated staying in a tent in all that rain!
Kevin wants to hire a caravan. There are some nice ones with 3 bedrooms, showers and cooking facilities. The problem is, none of the caravan parks take short bookings in the summer. The minimum stay is a week. Its a shame because there are several nice parks near the beach.
Theres a youth hostel in New Sands. Its the cheapest option after camping, and theres a big kitchen and dining room where we can cook. The problem is, accommodation is in dormitories and I dont really want to sleep with strangers.
There are a few guest houses in New Sands. Some have triple rooms, so wed only need to book two rooms. Theyre not expensive, but we wouldnt be able to cook there. Wed have to eat out at restaurants, or eat sandwiches for every meal! Well have to book soon if we choose that option, because many guest houses are already full. The hotels in New Sands are far too expensive, even though Id love to stay at the Sunrise Pavilion with its rooftop pool!
The final option is to rent a cottage. Few cottages offer mid-week breaks in summer, but I found one. It has three bedrooms – a double, a single and a twin, so two of us would have to share a bed! Theres a big kitchen diner with a microwave, washing machine and dishwasher. The living room has a TV and DVD player. Theres just one bathroom, but theres a separate WC. Theres a nice garden too. The problem is, its 5 miles from the beach, so wed have to hire a car, because there arent any buses.
Let me know which option you prefer.
Cheers
Natalie
