here
I think it will fit DS1 and DS2 in one room and DD1,DD2 and I in the other. Bit wary of having separate rooms but i can't find anything cheap with one room to sleep 5!

Dinker- that would be great. I am wondering how tricky train to Taunon and long walk would be with all 4 DC. As i said am happy to pay some petrol to whoever helps.

For £55 inc. postage, I'd buy it now I think

you'd still be saving a good few quid

I think it sounds like a bargain it says "excellent condition" & also says it has only been used for 4 days in dry weather. Saving of £35 if you go for buy it now"!
