Ideas what to do with my tesco club card points

Can somebody help me choose how to spend my deals ,I really can't decide.

I have about £400 worth of deals to spend but don't mind putting cash towards something ,

It would be for myself ,DP and our 18 month old son who is very active to say the least.

Im not bothered if it is abroad or in this country or what date we travel .all I require is that its child friendly ,within 3 hours drive of northwest or flying from liverpool and a short flight (dp hates flying) .

We have been to haven and thought it was ok but would like something a bit nicer , have looked at butlins but have had a bad experiance at southport pontins and worried if its the same type of accomadation.



any ideas ?
Thanks in advance

    Thanks for reply
    We havn't got a set date in mind as we are not restricted by school hol's

    Love the idea of a narrow boat but would imagine we would be trying to fish little un out of water most of hol he is a little monster!

    A short break would be nice but I have never been to a "nice" hotel with a toddler ,
    love camping but we have a touring caravan so would like a change

    Is that £400 of vouchers or £100 of vouchers? If it's the firstyYou could get a nice hotel break in this country or for the second you could look at the Cosmos brochure. Some of their holidays offer two weeks for the price of one. Or book cheap flights from liverpool and book accomodation with individual travellers - though you need a minimum spend of £500.

    You could go from Liverpool to Ireland with p and o irish sea ferries using the vouchers to pay for the crossing and then hire a cottage somewhere in Ireland (within three hours drive of dublin). My kids love going on holdaiy to Ireland.
