ATTENTION SOUTHWESTERNERS, THE DEVONERS, CORNISH AND THE DORSETESE.
All the previous talk about beaches has made me want to go somewhere for a weekend. I shall need a nice, sandy beach and a decent hotel.

Suggestions.

GO.

Bognor's a chav-den almost as notorious as Weston.
But I shall look into Woolacombe, thanks!
( Kroney, Thu 11 Jul 2013, 14:42, Reply)

Woolacombe is very nice
Also from experience, Weymouth, West Bay (but shingle beach), Perranporth, Croyde, and even Bournemouth.

Also, a spa? I don't need a spa.

Yeah, I was just looking at that one, it's nice!

Cracking beach and only a stones throw from St. Ives which is a short walk along a coastal path, it's really not worth the effort driving into St. Ives

Well, OG mentioned she loved St Ives, so you've won the game.
Carbis Bay Hotel, it is!
( Kroney, Thu 11 Jul 2013, 15:11, Reply)

Also look at the alternative of hiring a cottage in Carbis Bay

A bunch of mates and I
are hiring a cottage in Boscastle in September. Looking forward to it.

Boscastle's pretty nice.
It's a bit on the hippie-dippie side, though.
( Kroney, Thu 11 Jul 2013, 15:31, Reply)

That reminds me just behind that hotel is a little tea room....
It looks like a old cottage conversion, I still consider their Cream Tea to be the best that I have ever had, homemade scones and jam.

We've been there quite often as a group
The cottage we usually get is unavailable so we're venturing into the unknown.

also there is a pretty place in dorset with an abandoned village that the government stole during ww1
you can only go on bank holidays as the army/RAF use it for the rest of the year, it's v pretty around here, and the village is interesting. look:

www.bbc.co.uk/dorset/content/articles/2008/12/10/tyneham_feature.shtml

get a nice hotel around there for the august bank holiday, then go and see it!
( rachelswipe with a fork, Thu 11 Jul 2013, 14:50, Reply)

Remember going there as a kid, very strange a village with nobody in it.
Beautiful part of the world round there
