The room was spacious and a had a balcony with views of the gardens. We stayed B&B in a hotel in Norfolk in February and paid £65 a night, the room was pokey and at the front of the hotel on the main road. I looked at cottages in Devon for us last year for a week at the end of June, we decided to go to a chalet on a holiday park which was adequate somewhat lacking in charm but was a quarter of the price of a cottage and we thought we'd be out a lot of the time anyway. Are there any holiday rental property owners reading this who'd like to explain why prices are so high in the UK?

You can pay alot more for a cottage in Devon in August, that it would cost you for a villa cwith a poll in the Algarve ( and that inclus=des the flights). Its up to UK holiday rental property owners to offer more cost-effective holidays in the UK! The other problem is that the UK is pricing itself out of the holiday market.

Personally I don't like temperatures above the low twenties degrees as I generally want to be out and about while on holiday. If it's hot, I need to wear suncream all day and the heat makes me feel lethargic. It's the unpredictability of the weather that can be annoying. that you can't plan outdoor actiivities in advance.

There are some beautiful places in UK - all we need is the weather. I think it is right. There are some beautiful places in UK - all we need is the weather.
