thanks chaps ... I don't know if this will be an issue or not ... guess it depends on what there is within sensible walking distance as we will obviously need to eat in the evening.
Hmmm .. not sure what do do now -- need to find somewhere with accommodation for 6 for no more than £500 with transfers (Aug 6/7 - 13/14) ... this seemed to fit the bill but maybe the location and the newness is why it is so cheap.
will look for alternatives i think
cheers
