Any recommendations for sandy beach near Surrey and hotels in New York?

Is Camber sands near enough? It's lovely.

What's you budget and what do you mean by unusual?

Totally forgot about Camber, went there quite a lot as a child, it is lovely. I can't place where it is, I'm sure it's not too far though.

Dare I say we don't actually have a budget but obviously we don't want to pay £1,000s a night! I suppose I mean unusual as in a bit different from your Holiday Inn or something. I've tried looking and the ones that have come up, ie boutique, haven't had very good reviews, but then I suppose you can't please everyone can you!

Last time we went to NYC, we stayed in a B&B instead of a hotel and it was brilliant. Each room was different, and had antique furniture. Plus, it was in Greenwich Village but cheaper than staying in some crappy hotel. Really, it was like staying in a hotel except that you got a little kitchenette in your room (fab for chilling wine!) The place is called Incentra Village and I'd thoroughly recommend it - we'll be going there again!

Look at the website I've posted, scroll down there's a map. I think it's not too far from Rye, I used to go there a lot when I was hanging round in Surrey.

That sounds great, never actually thought of going to a B&B. I'll check it out, thanks.

Keep scrolling down - there's a picture of Zammo on the beach with his family. ? <showing mny age icon>

Got it thanks, it will make a nice change to Brighton (even though I do go there for the Lanes myself haha!)

Thanks

? I did see him, I wasn't actually a Grangehill fan....not sure what i was doing when everyone else was watching that, I do feel like a freak for not watching though!

Oooo, lucky you! If I didn't have a budget, I'd stay here:

It has great door knobs (as I designed them).? Never been myself, but it looks beautiful.

I think it's very expensive, though so also good are 6o Thompson, The Bowery and The Rivington.

Depending on where you are in Surrey this may be closer than camber sands (and I think a bit nicer) https://www.westwitteringestate.co.uk/

We always went to Littlehampton when I was a kid, down the A29 along from Bognor Regis.

In NY we stayed at The Muse which was lovely - large comfortable rooms just off Times Square but no breakfast included so went to various diners/delis.

Cant help with the NY recs but I can vouch for this, I love W Wittering beach, we used to live near it and we went down there as often as we could...

And its a lot nearer than Camber Sands

Oh yes, west wittering is lovely lovely. That's more chichester way.

Ive got sun burnt more times at west wittering than on a hot beach holiday ? Only thing is that there isnt much other than the beach, carpark and loos (there is a restaurant) although there isnt much at camber sands either.

Thanks, they all look lovely and pricey too, not sure of my chances getting H to treat me that much even if I do stress that it would be an anniversary treat too....on the other hand, maybe he would!

We did try Littlehampton last year, TomTom said it wouldn't take long, roadworks said otherwise :o( It was nice though.

Thanks will have a look into West Wittering, have heard of it.

I will also check out The Muse in NY.

Thanks for all the replies.

NNN

This is a lovely beach!

Littlehampton can be quite stoney - and is not the most salubrious of areas!
