    Stay in Norwich where there are a number of Travelodges and Premier Inns for cheapish accomodation.

    Norwich gives you a base for travelling by train to North Norfolk, Yarmouth and Lowestoft.

    There's a boatyard in the city where you can hire a craft for up to eight hours and, if you're lucky, they won't be fully booked.

    I'd recommend somewhere fun that will still be within travelling distance from the new house - that way you'll be able to remind them that the fun stuff is still available from the new place and have an exampkle fresh in their minds. ( Cos 7 and 9 is an age where moving is a big thing for your kids, the holiday should be based around them, iyswim)

    I've been Money Tipped!
    Thanks for all your input - and the 2 pms offering your personal holiday lets + prices + websites...

    Spendless - thought wave connection or what?! 3rd August I booked a swish bargain hotel in Yorkshire with an indoor swimming pool. Whitby is getting a visit, as is York, as are the Dales...

    Thanks for the input all. And it does scare me how much TL think they can charge for a room!

    Ha, ha, This thread forced me to think about our own (lack of) holiday plans. I based the idea on my own staycation. The differences are[ I'll be substituting the dales for a theme park and the hotel will be our house. :D

    I wasn't sure about camping but i have booked to go glamping soon in a tipi near hereford. £40 a night not per person :) Going by their facebook its a new venture so not that booked up yet. They take paypal which is good as i have been selling loads and its like a free holiday. All we need to take are towels and bedding.
