How Would You Split This Weekend Away

In the Easter break I'm going away with three of my younger children (toddler through to primary school age) and my friend is also attending with her primary age son (year 5). It's self-catering. No partners/husbands attending, older dc not attending as they are doing something else those days.

Family A - One adult, two primary school age children, one toddler
Family B - One adult, one primary school age child

How would you split the cost of the cottage? 50/50, 60/40 or another way? Each family will pay for their own additional costs, it's the accommodation piece specifically that I want to be fair to my friend about as she only has 1 child that is attending and I have three (granted youngest is young enough they are still 'free' for most things).

Thanks!

I think the number of bedrooms would be useful,to know.

Maybe a 60/40 or 66/33 split would be about right.

Depends on the bedrooms

I think it depends on the number of rooms and how they are divided up

She pays a third of the accommodation cost, you pay the rest.

I think a 60/40 split sounds fairest

You forgot how many bedrooms the place has
