In the event of a landing on water, there is a life jacket under your seat. Please place it over you head, pulling the straps around your back and tying them in a bow at the front like this. There is a light which is activated when the battery is immersed in water, and a whistle for attracting attention. Please fasten your safety belt ready for take-off. On behalf of The Bongomeister and the crew, may i wish you a pleasant camp.
Sorry, couldn't resist

If I read it right its £18 per night, inc ehu, plus £1 booking fee.
We will have to see if Mrs B has finished work by then, meant to be end of year but they have asked for a few to stay on until end of March. Deal is enough to be worth it, but of course now they won't say who's staying.
Thanks Bob
