UK holiday ideas

adamnsu

Hi,

I live in Sutton,Surrey and wanted to take my wife and 1 year old son on a relaxing holiday and was wondering if someone could shed some advice.

Total Budget:£150-£200

- Min. 2 nights

- Seaside area

- Travel by Train

- Staying in a 3* hotel

Thanks in advance.

with your budget i wouldn't go too far, we have some lovely beaches in Kent or Sussex.

Many thanks for the ideas. I was looking into Sussex as well.

Is that the total budget including travel, food and spending money?

I think you'll struggle a bit to do two nights in a hotel if so. At the cheapest you're probably looking at £80 a night B&B or £120 half board.

To keep costs down, I'd go self-catering...

Brighton, Selsey, Hastings, New Forest.
Borrow a tent and go camping, some beautiful spots around and you can get a pitch for around £9 per night

My budget was including return train fare(2 people) and Hotel (Breakfast).

I second Hastings as a suggestion - I had a lovely long weekend camping near there last summer. Camping might be difficult if you're going by train with a little one but you should be able to find a b&b.

Would it be worth investing in a Family and Friends Railcard? I bought my first one when my now 24 year old son was 6 weeks old, as rail travel was considerably cheaper if I paid the child fare for him, and got the adult discounts.

Are the Sun £9 holidays still available?

Have you looked on BreakFree at their deals....

there are still some £10 per person holidays ...linen and ents passes are optional but you do have to pay for electricity..

Camber Sands? Bit out of the way though, as it's 3 miles from the nearest market town. Or alternatively, other places along the coast, Romney Sands, Dymchurch etc? You can easily get the train to Rye, and than catch the bus from the station, but if you are relying just on public transport, perhaps somewhere that is bigger is better for you, so Hastings is a fair suggestion.
