I have received several e-mails from people wanting advice on accomodation, and also from administrators of commercial sites wanting me to add a link. My intention was that I would not advertise such sites, but I have now decided to add a selection of accomodation and useful commercial sites.
Please look at these before you ask me for details of where to stay.
