I'm arriving in Portsmouth on Friday the 13th April with my 2 squids ! Does anyone have any recommendations for somewhere cheap and chearful to stay near by.    I'm Heading up to N.Wales and as I don't get in until 8.30pm  thought probably best if the kids and I got our heads down.  I was going to drive it,  but keep getting told it's too far as I'll have left home at 7.am that morning ! I'm sure some of you well travelled lot will know of somewhere to save me hours of trawling!  Thanks                                                                                                                                                                             

Mickey, there is an Etap in Portsmouth, room for the 3 of you £34 on that date, nice and easy to book from your end.
