Family holiday, hope someone can beat this.
Dates and departure are flexible but would prefer beginning of school holidays. Also flexible on airport - leeds/bradford is nearest to us. This hotel is all singing and dancing and looks fab but need to shave some off the cost as price out of our reach for s/c. thanks
