  • Hi there

    we've spent endless hours trying to find a decent looking holiday to either turkey or Ibiza for 10-14 nights in august next year. I work in a school so dates have to start and finish in august. The holiday would be for two adults and two children, aged 8 and 4 at the time of travelling. Can travel from pretty much anywhere but midlands are my closest airports. We're looking for a really fun family place with lots to keep our kids occupied. Would prefer hb or ai for under £1800. If anyone could help we'd be really grateful. Working in a school is great when you don't have to look for childcare but not so great when your budget is scuppered!!

    I'm not sure if this is the correct forum to post on so please move if necessary.

    I'm looking for a holiday in the sun and near the sea in the school holidays. My wife and I are both teachers.

    Requirements are:
    2 adults
    2 children (6 & 4).
    Minimum 7 nights.
    Ideally self catering.

    We live in West Yorkshire so can travel from North/Midlands airports.

    We are free for 4 weeks from 24th July and can travel any time.

    We have a limited budget.

    At the moment everything is coming in at £1500 - £2000. I would like to spend less than that.

    If you need more info please let me know.

    Ta.
