any ideas for a cheap uk summer holiday

Options
we missed out on the sun and breakfree holidays this year due to various reasons, but now our circumstances have changed and we are desperate to get away this summer. does anyone know of any great offers out there. not really fussed where we go, love cornwall, but anywhere near a beach would be great.

thanks

Paddy

    Camping? We used to use haven a lot but their prices has gone up, up and up.

    £9 a night extra for electric.

    2 weeks for under £300, for the whole family.

    1 week at Newquay and 1 week near Bude. We like to travel around.

    Hi

    I was in the same position.

    I have booked up for pontins in brean. It was £238 family of 5 for mon-friday SC.

    If you look on the website and click on late deals you can literally go for £100, didn't see before i booked :mad:

    Read the reviews tho because it really is a case of you get what you pay for with pontins and no doubt i will get attacked for even daring 2 mention it. But just a thought the kids love it and thats the main thing.

    I am always of the belief a holiday is what you make it.

    Are school holidays an issue for you? Do you have children? A friend told me about the Haven Combe Hastings deal as well and it's great value and a great base for exploring the nearby area. Lots to do in Hastings, lovely sandy beach and dunes at nearby Camber Sands, and the beautiful town of Rye for a day out.

    Or if you drive, borrowing some camping equipment would be a great way to a cheap holiday. I'm sure there are some amazing sites in Cornwall!
