March Holiday

Please help Im looking for somewhere to go for the Easter holidays next year with a budget of around £1000 (cheaper would be good). This would be for 2 adults, a 4 year old and a 1 year old flying from Newcastle. We would like somewhere with plenty of places to eat as we don't mind room only/self catering.

    Look at Ryanair flights from LBA.

    Since your children are not of school age, see if you can go just before or after the Easter holidays. That would bring the price down dramatically...

    Just about any tourist resort will have plenty of places to eat, so you might wait and pick up a last-minute bargain.

    Are you looking for city or a beach break?

    I don't know where you stand on holidays during term time, but when does eldest turn 5?

    If it's Sept - Dec, then she legally has to be in school by Easter. If she turns 5 January onwards, she doesn't need to be in school full time at Easter. If you're looking for a bargain, just saying you may want to consider taking her out of school as you can't be fined if she's still 4 in January.
