Hi Ellie, I’m so pleased you can come surfing for three days in August! Paul, Rose and Kevin are coming too, so there will be five of us. We decided to return to New Sands, because the surf board hire is so cheap there. I’m starting to think about accommodation. We won’t 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. It’s a shame because there are several nice parks near the beach. There’s a youth hostel in New Sands. It’s the cheapest option after camping, and there is a big kitchen and dining room where we can cook. The problem is, accommodation is in dormitories and I don’t really want to sleep with strangers. The final option is to rent a cottage. I found one. It has three bedrooms - a double, a single and a twin, so two of us would have to share a bed! There is a big kitchen diner with a microwave, washing machine and dishwasher. The living room has a TV and DVD player. There is just one bathroom, but there is a separate WC. There is a nice garden too. The problem is, it’s 5 miles from the beach, so we’d have to hire a car, because there aren’t any buses. Let me know which option. Cheers, Natalie Choose the best answer a, b, c or d.
