Depends on where you want to go....

warm, not bothered about the weather, city break, nice cosy cottage?

What are you looking for - sun, sea, nightlife, culture....?

To be honest not bothered, just a week away from the UK to recharge the batteries, anywhere would be nice, sun would be nice but I expect very expensive, I thought somewhere like prague / budapest / amsterdam? Any ideas gratefully received!I mainly using holidaysupermarket.com to find and book places but no idea really where I want to go, I am aiming for very cheap flights, accomodation and food!Many thanks

The Telegraph recommends Lanzarote for mid-February sun "closest reliably warm sunshine to Britain"...

(Saw a 7-night self-catering package for £185 pp in Costa Teguise....)

Other sites are recommending Cyprus...
(7 nights self-catering packages between £240 - £275 pp)

Me and my chap are going to Slovenia tomorrow on the cheap - sure it will be the same in Feb. Not much warmer than the UK but looks a beautiful place...cost us £45 each return on EasyJet, hotels about £15-20/night for each of us. Food is a lot cheaper than the UK.

we did tunisia last feb half term and managed to get reasonable flights with exceptional hotel which worked out £35p/p hb for the week- best puddings i have ever had too
we used www.skyscanner.com to see where we could go and then www.travelrepublic.co.uk to book

weather days on beach- other mixed for looking round market/old town/ dessert etc

Thanks for the suggestions, I was also thinking of prague, budapest or venice. I will have a look, many thanks again!

Booked Prague in the end, was £50 each for a return flight and the accomodation is around £130-150 for 4 nights, apparently it is supposed to be very beautiful. Thanks for all your help, I will bear them in mind next time I decide to go away which depends on what the interest rate does!

I booked two flights to Madrid today... £22 for both of us from Liverpool!

Just need a hotel now... and things to do!

Any recommendations?
