    You may be able to 'barter' for a good deal on a privately-owned self-catering cottage as opposed to a caravan type holiday, particularly now everyone is feeling the pinch.
    I would recommend the following sites
    www.lastminute-cottages.co.uk/ - why not be cheeky and make anyone with a cottage available an offer
    www.therealvisitorsbook.co.uk - list availability of cottages on their 'real deals' pages of latest availablity, with the bonus that all the cottages have been recommended by recent paying guests, rather than simply owners advertising their cottages for rent
    www.underthethatch.co.uk - quite pricey but have a good ethic of reducing the prices of their holidays as the 'vacant date' gets closer - definitely worth a look
    e-bay is now a good source - just check them out on trip advisor, real visitors book, holiday truths etc.
    Only caution I would add re Butlins etc is i've heard that everything comes as an 'extra' which have to be paid for, which makes a cheap looking holiday suddenly very expensive.
    Good luck

    I can recommend two Parkdean sites-Ruda in North Devon and Challaborough in the South Hams. Had two good holidays at both sites and both are located a five minute walk from beautiful Blue Flag beaches-Croyde at Ruda and Bigbury on Sea at Challaborough. HTH

  • Hi Everybody

    Butlins is fantactic, I can highly recommed
    www.butlinscaravansatskegness.co.uk
  • we have stayed all over the country with hoseasons, all been good
  • 2009 is supposedly the year when many people do decide to explore these shores. From our contacts here is a list of UK Holiday Suppliers you may find useful:

    Hoseasons
    Pontins
    Butlins
    Warner Leisure Breaks
    Superbreak
    Haven Holidays
    Park Resorts
    Park Dean
    English Country Cottages
    Welcome Cottages
    Sykes Holidays
    Blakes Holidays

    Thats all I can think of atm! There are perhaps more...of course many of these act as agents for the actual sites and it could possibly be cheaper to go direct but I doubt it.
