    If you dont mind going by coach go on with Ferris Holidays, they run coaches all over the uk to destinations in europe and was about £700 last summer for a week in a half board hotel in Spain during peak season, 2 adults and 3 kids.
    Don't know their web address but do a search and you will find them.
