I did my training at SFT last year and because I live in York needed to stay full time so accomodation was important to me. After a couple of not so hot places I found a hotel where the landlady and her younger daughter cater fro pilots for anything from one night to months such as myslef. The hotle is extremely well looked after, is located directly on the beach front some ten minutes drive from the airport in Southbourne.
The rooms are very cheap considering, as pilots get a discount - shes extremely understanding of training costs, and board includes a full english breakfast and full three course meal on an evening for around £17 (then) I cannot recommend her highly enough. Contact Sue on 01202 427583.
