Self funding, though generously assisted with the costs by previous employer. Got accommodation sorted, £25 B&B so should have a couple of beer tokens left.
Managed to get in the Green Gables, Windermere. Used the accommodation list from MTSC, started with last guest house on list and worked backwards. Googled prices for others before I got to Green Gables & Trip Advisor for reviews. Green Gables matched my budget & requirements, didn’t contact any others.
If booking for the duration seems a discount is negotiable for 4 nights or more.
