Last minute break - help needed

I have managed to get 28/06 to 07/07 off work at the last minute, and am looking for somewhere really cheap in the UK to go with two house trained and quiet 16 year old girls and a nearly 5 year old pirate in training We will have our well behaved dog with us too. Caravans, holiday homes etc. would be fab, but no tents please. We don't mind if it is Friday to Monday or Monday to Friday
Anywhere from North Wales to Ayr or Whitby to North Berwick on either coast is fine, and we would really like to be on a sandy beach if possible.
The catch is I can't afford to book and pay until Friday 28/06. If anyone has any time saving suggestions to shortcut the computer search/phone calls on the Friday morning please post below, or if you own a caravan or holiday cottage that is not booked then and might be suitable send me a pm please. Any help or ideas would be appreciated

Lots of good places here, the coast around wigtownshire is lovely and if you look through some are quite low priced, from as low as £300 which is good for a week. Also try ebay . No agency fees to pay on the site. if its last min, owners should take cash on arrival.0 -
Thanks - having a look now0

http://www.cottageguide.co.uk/glentrool/ if you look at the ones which sleep 3, they may also have an extra folding bed for a child .
Being on the actual beach area will cost more . I have been 3 times so far, and am off again soon, but the place I go doesnt take dogs.0 -
sent you pm !0

Just a minor warning, the Scottish schools break up on the 28th. Prices up here have shot up from that date. Not sure where you are from, but I would suggest looking further south than Manchester to get cheaper prices.0

Thanks. I am in Scotland and have to take school hols, hence the dates.Want to avoid too long in the car with a small child and dog, but might have to go to Wales or East Coast as you say. Any suggestions welcomed though0

You need to go further west than Ayr in Wales unless you want Talacre Beach ( which isnt bad) Wales has lots to offer . Mountains and beaches . Things to keep your 5yo active & 16yos happy. Theres always Blackpool in the first week of July be like being back in Scotland:cool: hard as nails on the internet . wimp in the real world :cool:0
