Holiday accommodation can be expensive but the range of choice is wide. Beginning with hostels, campsites, caravan parks you can consider B&B’s, guesthouses and hotels of an increasing number of stars.

Obviously it has its drawbacks, not the least of which is you can’t stay there when the students are around.
