I'm pretty much satisfied that NG has what's needed so I think my first visit will be for the house-hunt. That'll probably depend on a 'sale' here first, what's available there and will probably be during the week.

I use Hotwire.com mostly for hotel accommodation. I have also used Priceline.com.
In July, 2007 I was able to get the Halifax Marriott Harbourfront Hotel for $89 per night through Hotwire.
Both sites will not let you know the name of the hotel until you actually pay for it.
But a quick way to identify the hotels is to use this site:

HI Auld Yin,

The quite expensive was a direct comparrison to B&B prices here in Northern Ireland, when i was looking for somewhere to stay, the prices (taking into account th exchange rate at the time) were on average approx. 20% + more expensive.
The Royality was fantastic, the owners were nothing short of brilliant and the accomodation was wonderfull. I will not be looking for anywhere else the next time i'm in Truro, it's the best all round stay i've ever had at a B&B *****
