Easter Hols.

:rolleyes:

Looking for some ideas for Easter, I'm off work from 3rd-15th, 2 adults and 2 children but have to be careful with budget. Would like 7 days but happy with 5. We were looking at self catering in this country but most of that is gone. Can't stand really basic accomodation with the kids but clean is good! Would be really grateful for some ideas as had enough of sifting through web page after page, anybody already booked for Easter?

Thanks.
Too many children, too little time!!!
:p

    So are you now looking at going abroad?
    If so whats your budget?
    Where do you want to fly from?

    Open to any suggestions, wouldn't really want to spend over £600 but as cheap as possible. Could fly from Exeter, Bournemouth, Southampton or Bristol. London would be ok for a bargain deal.

    I've booked us into a Travel Inn (£50 for a family room per night) for a couple of nights. Am planning on going to Longleat and Cheddar Gorge. Only thing with Travel Inn is that there is no food included and that can work out expensive. I tend to go to local supermarkets for breakfast as it's a lot cheaper that booking breakfast at the hotel.

    We live not too far from Longleat, considering Woolacombe Bay in North Devon, trying to keep it simple with kids but always looking for a bargain.

    I have just gone to book a holiday on the Haven website but after going to book it comes up £10 more than the advertised price, does anyone know if Haven have a hidden £10 booking fee?

    We are going to Brighton for a few days. Loads to do there. £15 per night for a family room at the Travelodge.

  • Any Idea Where I Could Find A Flight Only For 2 To Tenerife In Sept. Friend Has Timeshare There So Only Need The Flight Over. Seems It Would Be Cheaper To Book A Complete Holiday. Many Thanks Xox

    The £10 charge on Haven is linen charge, you get it back when you hand your linen over at the end of your stay.
