After something family friendly not too far from the city centre, with a good cooked breakfast.

Any ideas?

Yoiks! struggling to find anything under £600 for the 5 of us for 3 nights!

Maybe I’ll stick to bivvying and hostels

Try these guys:

It’s cheap, clean and couldn’t be more central. Self catering though I’m afraid.

we stayed at http://www.hedleyhouse.com/

decent food, decent price and close to centre.

I can’t remember which it was, but we looked a year or so ago and one of the hotels (I think) in the centre does/ did apartments. Worked out cheaper than a hotel.
