FFS I have just been on the internet to look at holidays in the UK.
Butlins £1100 for a week or £850 for a caravan in a holiday park for a week. Are these the same companies that moan on TV that we all go abroad? No fecking wonder.
Anybody know of any decently priced holidays in the UK or shall I go abroad. If you have any decent suggestions can you PM them to me as I will be off the site until Monday. Cheers

Go abroad, you can find serveral low cost airline flights and you might get some warm weather as well.

It is crazy Dave.
We had boat on the Norfolk Broads a couple of year back with the kids, cost over £1500.
Bloody good holiday but we could have gone abroad for probably half the price.

Everyone I know collects the coupons in the Sun and goes to Haven for £8 each.
Classy friends I have
Always fancied a narrow boat trip Dundeecpl - I have the romanticised image of sunshine and cider and heavily featuring David Essex.
Go for it CQ, it was one of the best holidays i have ever had. Can't guarantee David Essex though!!!!!

We had an holiday at pontins at great yarmouth it cost us an arm and a leg, kids were bored it was like a prisoner of war camp and we ended up going home early!!!!
For the same price we could have gone abroad and had an enjoyable holiday!
Next year we looked up a holiday in the channel islands and found out for the same price we could go to orlando for two weeks!
Off to orlando we went for a once in a lifetime holiday....... Been six times now and enjoy it more and more! Even managed 2 weeks on our own without kids this year! every time we can get it cheaper than brochure prices and can usually get a v good deal!
Thanx Ponyins without u we wouldnt have gone to oelando caneries key west etc...
My wife even found a week in canaries in Jan for £57 each flights and accom what a bargain!

Its definately a rip off thou, and its always the families that end up paying though the nose for holidays. Cos of having two young kids, we have had to holiday in the UK for a few years and its cost a fortune.
Saying that thou, now they are a little older have been looking at costs of foreign holidays, but often found that prices for children to some places (such as US cities) are only a little less than the adult prices
We only have one income, yet would need to pay for nearly four adults :cry:

It's a bit subjective isn't it? Not knowing your budget or what facilities you require, it's impossible to answer. I mean a week in a tent eating out of tins is going to be a bit cheaper than a week in a five star hotel eating out the chambermaid, but what do you want for your money?
Sex God
hell ,where the holidays where ya eat out the chambermaid come on tell meeeeeeeeeeeeee

i agree with goodtimez, about the holiday camps in the uk being like prisoner of war camps, the hi de hi camps (naming no names) we went this summer with our kids for 2 weeks, we had a 9 hour drive, which was hell, got there and the accomodation was shabby, the camp even shabbier..it was like going back in time 30 years..im sure nothing had been revamped from when i was a kid!! .i was ready for home after 3 days, but paying ridiculous amount of money that we did, we thought we outta stay and brave it.....then cornwall got wetter and wetter -floods, to top it off !!LOL We came home early tho'
never been so pleased to get home from a holiday...cornwall beautiful place, even more so when its sunny id imagine....holiday hi de hi camps in the uk no way.

I suppose it depends what sort of holiday you want ? Is it for the weather eg SUN ! or something to do, we spend lots of weekends camping at a super place near us, NO Hi DI HI just a tent camp fire food wine etc.. have also stayed in some super chalets owned by the forestry commision, really peaceful super built on a lake in a forest very well priced, but if its for sun then its not the UK for sure.

Definately depends what you want from a holiday in the end. Because of the kids I have holidayed in Britain within a few hours driving distance and we have had some great times. But it all depends on what suits you, if you want action packed then a cottage in the woods by a lake in the middle of nowhere isn't for you but then if you want relaxing then you would go somewhere else.
I think a holiday is what you make it in the end, if I took my daughter on a plane it would be very difficult whereas she travels in the car happily. It's getting harder now though because of the age difference with my kids, the older one is bored with Haven but the hols suitable for older kids wouldn't be suitable for the younger one. Next year I am hoping to compromise, a weekend in Haven and hopefully some concert/festival tickets for the big 'un.
Just an idea, you could draw up a wish list, what you want from the holiday, price, accommodation, entertainment etc and take it to the travel agent to see what they can offer.
