    You should be able to fly to Spain for around £50-£60 each, you can also fly to Canary Islands if you want warm weather (around 20-25 degrees). I'm going to Fuerteventura next week, an apartment is £25 a day, (we don't mind cooking ourselves and go out a couple of days to nice restaurants), but they offer all inclusive if you prefer.

    Much much less than your budget and a lovely holiday!!!

    Even given the figures you quote you have spent £295 before factoring in baggage and transfers. Assuming they are free or not required could you and your partner really go abroad and spend "much much less" than £105 on food and drink for a full week?

    For a week in Canary islands you don't need any baggage.. summer clothes fit perfectly on the hand lugagge! There's an excellent bus service, bus tickets around 2€, so not too much spent on transfers either...

    £105 is more than enough to buy excellent food in the supermarket, obviously going out is more expensive but this is a budget holiday after all!!! they can spend as much as they want...

    All inclusive would be more expensive but not by much (not sure as I would never consider go all inclusive, can't see the point!)
