Short Family Break

It's our 10th wedding annivessary on May 10, so looking for ideas for short breaks on or around the time, but also something suitable for kids (boys 7 and 6), as it's cheaper/easier to take them than arrange child care.

Would be eternally grateful for any help!

    South, budget couple of hundred pounds for 2-3 days. Cheaper to have a family holiday rather than have to pay for child care!

  • Why not try a Youth Hostel? All over the country,everything from Basic to 4 Star,some even have double bed en suites or family rooms. From cottages to mansions, all have selfcatering facilities many do BBEM and packed lunches and some are licensed.Everyone is very friendly - you may even find a babysitter for an evening.
    Best of luck, and have a lovely time whatever you do.
