Am I out of touch re holiday costs?

That looks about right to me,tbh there is very little between B&B at a private house & B&B in a small hotel these days,it was �65 for us in Cardiff last weekend

Hahaha - then it's me!

**bearded bloke** · 23-04-2013, 03:44 PM

Sadly the days of a �20 B&B in a farmhouse will never be seen again

I'm afraid you are. I found two for �55 on hotels.com in Truro.

The last one I stayed at was almost �150 a night! That was for the most fantastic room and en suite bathroom, in beautiful grounds, mind you!

You're probably think of Blackpool prices, Cornwall is a bit more expensive. Have you tried looking at Travelodge or similar? You don't get breakfast but you can normally find a cafe somewhere and you can get them quite cheap sometimes, particularly if can book in advance.

If you watch 'Four in a bed' on TV- you'll see that most of their BnBs average at about �75/85 per night for 2 peeps!

( BnBs / Hotels in France tend to start at €50 - €75 a night for 2 peeps...sometimes it's cheaper to nip over the channel if you can get a cheap crossing!)

I've just remembered..one BnB I stayed in in the early 80's cost �6 a night per person!!!!
...nylon sheets...free bed bugs.... and for breakfast at 7 am...a greasy egg and sausage and pot of stewed tea!!

* Hmmm...me thinks I'm getting old! ...at least it wasn't in �sd !!!!

Yup, it's you! Sorry!

**Nicos** · 23-04-2013, 05:50 PM

Camping might be a cheaper alternative????

**veggiechicken** · 23-04-2013, 05:54 PM

I remember those awful nylon sheets too - they used to catch on my toenails

If you're going for a few nights what about renting a cottage/flat?

They are cool, though you have to like the outdoors as there doesn't appear a lot of room on in the inside other than a bed. Plus I can't tell if a bed is included?, it says to provide your own bedding, but the bed in the picture looks like its a feather ticking on the floor?

Lovely spot though, and your own beach..

B&B is expensive now as everyone has said!
