Holiday Accommodation in the UK

inulroOr, why I always book my breaks in the off-season. Due to ineptitude on both our parts, Jason and I failed to book any leave during May and have had to settle for the first week of June. The start of high season.
The original plan was to go to Northumberland, but we also see the appeal of Pembrokeshire.
Everything is eye-wateringly expensive if there's only two of you, as most self-catering places sleep at least 3 or 4 and B&B is even more! I suppose it doesn't help that the area of Pembrokeshire where I want to stay is around St David's, which seems to be more up market than the south coast (ie Tenby). It got to the point where I was searching for static caravans but they're not that much cheaper! The only reason I'm that bothered about not staying in a caravan is that if the weather is crap and we're stuck indoors all day (which may be the case), I want to stay somewhere that doesn't feel like it's about to blow away.
Anyway, we've finally found a studio flat not too far from Alnwick that we can just about afford, but I have to hope it's still available on Monday, as I have not yet booked the pet sitter.
It would be cheaper to go abroad, but I really do want to explore more of Britain, and I have yet to fill out my passport application form so there's little chance of having a passport by the end of the month. (One suspects the Canadian Consulate isn't to keen on "chronic disorganization" as a reason for needing an emergency passport.)
