Holiday to celebrate silver wedding anniversary

Hi everyone,

Just wondered whether anyone could help my husband and i find a cheap holiday in June around the 23rd, we would like to celebrate our silver wedding anniversay, but are on a tight budget, we would like to spend approx 500 pounds max for 7 nights HB accommodation if poss. Portugal would be the top of our list but we would consider spain, bulgaria, tunisia or turkey. We would like to fly from any midlands airport, but would do manchester at a push.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.:beer:

Thanking you in advance

Celia

    Flight with https://www.flymonarch.co.uk
    leaving Gatwick on the 25th June returning 2nd July (monday)
    £140 for both

    Hotel with https://www.quickrooms.com called the Don Pedro Golf 4*HB £316

    Transfers with https://www.medhotels.com £32 return

    Total £488

    do this from Gatwick but its about £60 total more expensive from Manchester
    I didnt know which airport so this is just a rough idea


    Just noticed you said Midlands airports will revise prices

    Birmingham flight £238.00 with https://www.xl.com (code needed pm me for it) hotel same price 316 so it takes you slightly over budget from Brum

    sent you the code for xl and also a number for a travel agent who might be able to lower the price (no promises) she often can do better prices on the hotels.
    She needs to bring it below my quote of £586 inc transfers

    Hi saveapenny

    I'm sorry to be such a pain, but when would be the best time to ring that number you gave me.

    Thanks
