    I know that this will sound slightly insane but have you thought about using the easyjethotels free rooms thread? If you could coordinate it well, it should work. You can book for up to 4 people on each claim/card. So you'd need to coordinate four of you to book (4+4+3+2). If you picked a big hotel, there shouldn't be an availability issue. In an ideal world, you'd stagger them (one on one day, one on the next, etc) so as not to upset easyjethotels too much! But even so, if you can find a place with a good deal and even if you only got four of them in for free, that'd be a good saving....

    Actually, now I come to think of it, this would be a good way of upping your budget!

    Get one claim in for four of you on a freebie. Therefore, your effective budget goes up from £1500 for 13 to £1500 for 9. Wait a day and do the same, that'd get it up to £1500 for 5. Then you can easily pay full price for the last lot.

    Am I rambling?

    The only problem with this is that you'd need to fund the bookings in the short term (ie until after the holiday) as that's when you get the refund. Would that be possible?

    Sounds a bit complicated does that. thanks though.

    would like a villa really rather than a hotel to!

    http://www.villaselect.com have some large ones

    https://www.holiday-rentals.co.uk is worth a browse.

    BTW some of this accommodation often has a check out time of 10am.

    Some places also have complexes of self catering bungalows with a big shared pool, if they have 2 or 3 bedrooms perhaps 3 of those might work if they are next/near to each other.

    These people have self catering mobile homes https://www.campinglife.co.uk
