The Travelodge site has a great pricechecker for their saver (£26) and supersaver (£15) rooms - You have to book in advance for both. Naturally, they aren't right on the coast for that price (although the trad. holiday destination rooms are only about £50 per night per room). We got a family room for 4 of us (king sized bed, pull out sofa bed) for £26 per night for 4 nights in Reading for a bit of sightseeing - close enough to Windsor Castle, Legoland (lastminute.com discount tickets bought in advance) and close enough to London if we wanted to go in by train. We are taking cornflakes, bowls and sugar with us for brekkie (Tesco express a couple of minutes away for the milk) so that saves us the £4 costs of a Travelodge mini breakfast. Hope the rain keeps off

Well worth keeping an eye on the Travelodge website - I use them a lot for getting the family together etc. Basic rooms, you can get them at £15 per night PER ROOM and you can see a list of all their hotels where rooms are available at this price, so it's a good way of exploring new places too! When I've booked far enough in advance I've got rooms in Central London for £15! If you sign up to their website they will send you notification of their room sales. Remember you have to book at least two weeks in advance for the bargains.
Also worth keeping an eye on is Hoxton hotels - got a room for a night in their new 4 star hotel new Old Street tube for £1!! It was stunning!!

The lighthouse at Rua Reidh, near Gairloch in Scotland is a fantastic little bolt-hole. I stayed there a couple of years back.
Several miles out in the middle of nowhere it's run by a lovely couple, Chris and Fran. Fresh laid eggs with your bacon in the morning, a couple of dogs you can walk (and they know the best route round the nearby cliffs), otters, dolphins, basking sharks, whales, golden eagles, and no mobile phone signal for miles. Heaven.
They also provide rock climbing tuition and, if the dogs aren't adventurous enough for you, guided walking tours of some of the most breathtaking scenery you'll ever see in the British isles.
While your in the region, be sure to visit the little pub in the bay at Badachro, they do great coffee and home-made fudge. Don't forget to ask them about the guy who drove his car off of the jetty into the sea by mistake, it's a great story!

That was a scarily fast hop from the This Morning studios!

Having travelled all over the world, my favourite holiday still has to be ... Skegness!

I fell in love with Skeg, and more specifically Butlins, as a child, and have been going back ever since. I even worked at Butlins in Skeg for a year!

In Skeg you have lovely beaches, fish and chips, and the best amusement arcades (I'm such a classy bird!).

Butlins is actually at Ingoldmells, where there is also Fantasy Island and the best market! Endless tat, but who cares, it is all part of the fun!

Further into Lincolnshire, you can have a day out in Lincoln. Absolutely lovely traditional market town, great for sightseeing or for shopping.

Enjoy! x

Hi all,

We holidayed in skegness after finding a caravan on www.directholidayhomes.co.uk these are privately owned static caravans in holiday sites throughout the country, prices start from under £100 per week!:T :j :T

We booked a room at in the Docklands Travelodge for this weekend for £26 a night for the 4 of us and also booked a double room for my mum and stepdad for the same amount go on Saturday for 3 nights and is costing £78 for each family. Not including brekky but there is abuffet style one for £7.50 and the kidsd eat free (just as well my eldest aged 7 eats like a horse!!!!Banned from Pizza Hut eat as much as you want buffet!!) But sure that I'd read somewhere when we'd first booked it that it could be a con, that even though its advertised at £26 you could end up paying more did anyone else see this? I've had by confirmation back and everything and also obviously payed for it months ago.

Just got back from Blackpool thanks to Gingerbread newsletter for £60 BB for 5 days for 1 adult + 1 child. Including return train ticket and spending whilst there it came to just over £200 so not bad if you don't require luxury with your holiday! The weather was also glorious which you simply cannot put a price on!

Have stayed at Docklands travelodge and took a copy of the confirmation email with us. Had no probs. When we have used travelodge before we have taken a mini fridge with us and plugged it in so that we have milk for cereals the next day breakfast to keep costs down.

Sorry whereabouts did you get the information for that B&B from? I am also a single parent and would love to find places that would do great priced accomodation like that!!

Sorry if I am being thick!!:rotfl:
