Joanne Posted January 7, 2004 Report Share Posted January 7, 2004 Does anyone have suggestions for a place to stay in Poole for this for a family of 5 (including 2 special needs kids) that is not too expensive. Crazysue, what about this place? http://www.hoseasons.co.uk/holidays/uklodges/parks/rock.html Would be perfect for a family. Have been trying to persuade my husband to go there in August but so far I've been unsuccessful Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crazysue Posted January 8, 2004 Report Share Posted January 8, 2004 Well, after a morning spent on the 'phone, I have finally managed to find a place to stay for my large family (well done to Poole tourist office, who I must have driven crazy by the time I finished). We are staying at the Express by Holiday Inn, where it is only costing £69 for all of us including a continental breakfast....a lot better than the £200 pounds I was getting quoted elsewhere. Now all I have to do is persuade hubby that he will enjoy it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dekker Posted January 8, 2004 Report Share Posted January 8, 2004 Now all I have to do is persuade hubby that he will enjoy it. Just leave him on the beach with his binoculars, laptop and knotted hankie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice one Sue! The Holiday Inn is right in the middle of town, about a 5 min walk from the stadium. There's a swimming pool next door and Poole Park and quay are both within 5 mins as well. So I'd suggest you sent the kids and hubby that-a-way and you head the other direction to the Dolphin Centre for some retail therapy!

Dekker Posted January 9, 2004 Report Share Posted January 9, 2004 What does a small dolphin cost? and tank costs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rabbit Posted January 9, 2004 Report Share Posted January 9, 2004 Would you want the dolphin fried or grilled? As for a tank, well there's an army camp about 15 miles away, not sure how much the on the road price is for a Chieftain or Challenger nowadays...

We are already planning on an early journey, so should get to Poole with loads of time for Mark to take the kids swimming and me to go to the shops....wonder if it will work out that way? On second thoughts it will most probably be me taking the kids swimming,running after them etc and the hubby having a strop and staying behind......

Scunny Stag Posted March 12, 2004 Report Share Posted March 12, 2004 Have people seen the TV ads for Travelodge with £25 room rates? Well there are still some rooms available for Sunday 1st and Monday 2nd August at Hailsham (Travelodge calls it Eastbourne Hellingly). Rooms for the 3rd are £49.95. If anyone wants 2nd and 3rd then book them separately and you can get £25 for first night. I'm seeing how many £25 nights I can get booked for this season's jaunts.
