Yep - thanks again guys - I realy do welcome all the comments and it is no rain on the parade at all. We do need to get any accounts and bookings verified. We do know that the advertised prices are what are charged - but could they be subject to negotiation? I for one am all for having kids there and not charging as much - It makes sense to have 2 adults and 2 kids in the room for £120 and it makes it more fun:-) Trouble is finding a place we can do that with:-( The food would definitley be breakfast only - we have no intention at all of doing anything else! Very good point about the foot and mouth. We have also seen a place in Whitby that looks very interesting - But much as we love Whitby to Holiday in we are not sure about living there. Sets me off thinking about somewhere like Silverdale or Grange though? Would they be as affected by countryside problems?

Any other ideas?

Cheers
