OK - I'm in, I like this game!

For us, 2 adults + 2 dogs, 7 nights starting 23 July - guess what?

SB - £465, New Forest Centenary £226.80.

(Not that I'd use either in school holiday time. Smiley smiley!)

If you use the 17th July I think Sandy balls is 30p cheaper - as I say very little in it.

17th July isn't school holidays

You can tell when school holidays are using SB prices. When we looked a few years ago it was £70 a night for our group so we didn't go.

Ok, here's my opening move

2 adults 3 children 13,14, 17, 2 dogs, 1 pup tent in any date August

The Quiet Site Ullswater £61 per night, but actually you can't get this as its a minimum of three nights stay - now isn't that penny pinching/fleecing customers?

While 5 miles away

Troutbeck Head for the same people/dogs/tents

£34.50 and no minimum stay

I think that SB prices + others disriminate against the English as does not Scotland schools break up a couple of weeks earlier, so get a cheaper rate

Now here's a strange thing - I've just tried that again - same details but on my PC rather than my tablet and it came up at "only" £395 - so just £56.50 a night - bargain!

EDIT - even odder - the bargain price above is obtained by entering details on their "quick booking" system, but the previous price is still quoted if you go through the general booking system.

Don't tell me they've got a glitch in their website?
