    Hmm, we'd only stand to lose about £300 in total if we cancelled, not much in the grand scheme of things, maybe even less if we were able to use easyjet/Ryanair rebooking policy on an internal flight before the end of the year. We would also have to shell out around £250 for Covid tests if we went to Spain which again we wouldn't have to pay for if we cancelled. I'm increasingly starting to think it's not worth the hassle, accepting that we jumped the gun on this occassion and cutting our losses.

    So, what's Skegness like in late September??
    we did 2 UK holidays in 2020 and 1 in 2021 - all with good weather and we were lucky.
    I use booking.com and filter those with free cancellation, so you often have 48 hours before and don't pay anything (but check individual terms).

    The big variable in this country is of course the weather, but no hassles with insurance, money, water, language, airports, testing etc. so it has a number of things going for it.

    personally we found it cheaper but that depends on what you do normally.
    At the moment it's worth booking dinner if you are eating out and even though were out of lockdown were now into shutdowns.

    I'd recommend booking something cancellable and if the weather is terrible and you don't think you can find enough indoor activities then you have the option of cancelling.
