We are a family of four, and are looking for self catering type accomodation. regards, Helen Helen What do you mean by safe? Some depressed neighbourhoods in big cities obviously may be more crime ridden than smaller towns, but they're not likely to have the type of accommodation you're looking for either. So safety may not be an important factor. A lot of self catering in Britain is quite expensive compared with say Bed and Breakfast accommodation, this most likely applies in the rest of Europe as well. In Continental Europe the most reasonably priced tourist accommodation is often to be found in chain hotels and motels, such as Campanile, Ibis and even cheaper Etap and Formule1. There are beachside campgrounds in many places which are of varying standards, and some of which have cabin type accommodation, you can use google to look them up by location. For Britain, suggest you use www.theaa.com for accommodation listings, that automobile association assigns a star rating for each property listed, and gives prices. Regards David Bennetts Australia |

For the UK, the most reliable and comprehensive guide is usually the local Tourist Board. They should all be linked from www.visitbritain.com The main types of self-catering accom a 'holiday cottages' which are often individually owned and let through agencies specialising in this business, although there is often an emphasis on pretty country cottages the big agencies have a wide variety of properties including houses and flats; caravan sites with static caravans or holiday lodges to rent on sites with variable levels of facilities; and the more packaged type of holiday caravan site with shops, entertainment and childrens clubs etc. http://www.english-country-cottages...._homepage.html http://online.haven-holidays.co.uk/p...404&language=1 http://www.hoseasons.co.uk/ Prices vary greatly according to season; if you can travel outside UK school holidays (which vary around the country) bargains can be had. Another option is house exchange. Owain |
