    Your request does seem rather vague. South England covers a lot of ground between East and West, also inland and coastal. You also haven't said when you are looking to travel, what sort of accomodation you are looking for and what your budget is.

    Hi there
    What is your budget, as if you are wanting a good holiday park it will cost you at least £600 for a wk in the summer hols, I know theres quite a few down that way and all the activites are on site which is a bonus.
    We prefer to go it alone so have booked a holiday cottage through holidaylettings in mid august. Its near Bath and cost us £500, but its real close to Longleat etc so loads to do .
    Good luck!!!

    When our daugher was small we always went here, in fact we still do but on our own now for weekends. They do cottages as well as chalets, it's a bit like pontins but on a much, much smaller scale. There are plenty of activities for childen too and it's in North Devon.

    ps. You don't have to be a union member, but if you are you get 10% off
  • We love the Isle of Wight but you do have to factor in the cost of the ferry. ( although you can use tesco deal tokens)

    We loved it here . It's a family run set of cottages etc (approx 12), has its own pool between the cottages which is indoor, but the roof can come off in summer, and a games room etc. Theres also a big garden with play area/ climbing frame etc , and a big trampoline!

    Its close to Bude (abt 2 - 3 miles I think), but is in a little village with a pub/ restaurant, shop etc. The owners are great and will help you out with advice on where to visit etc etc. We can't wait to go back!

    we have stayed at www.monkeytreeholidaypark.co.uk 3 times now with our four young children and they love it,we stay in the static caravans which are all clean and well stocked and there is loads of lovely beaches and things to do for the week you are looking at prices start at £525 i think.all caravans also have 3 bedrooms.the site is quiet when we go (may half term) but friends have been in august and had a lovely time too,there is entertainment on a small scale but we have never actually taken part in that,children used the play area,kids club and pool though which they enjoyed
