Holiday with lots of kiddies

Giraffeseeker

I want to book a week away with my partner - and between us we have 5 children aged between 12 and 5. I've been looking at the Hoeseasons holidays, they do big static caravans and some of the sites have lots of facilities. Anyone been on one? Any good? Any other recommendations? We really don't want to spend too much, but don't want 5 bored children if it rains....

Haven have caravans, and plenty of indoorareas to play in for all age groups.

And even if it's raining as long as it's warm then stick them in their waterproofs.

I think all the Haven sites have swimming pools too.

Downside is, it's expensive in school summer holidays, imho. Any Tesco clubcard vouchers to help with the cost?

If you use Hoseasons go through Quidco for 4%.;)

:cool: Hiya, when our children were little we bought a large second hand frame tent and took holidays in Dorset/Cornwall. I picked a site with a pool. Later we moved on and went to Butlins for a few years as they have free entertainment. In their teens we started going abroad.

HI i have to say we been to HAVEN for past 8 yrs with 3 little ones....was ok when they were little but we found it was expensive if it was raining as there was only arcades to go on so last year we went to BUTLINS and was amazed its in a total different league from haven.... the majority of rides ect are free there was indoor entertainment on all day every day, swimming pool was great, there was a large indoor play area for little ones under 5 and a large one for older kids aswell....i wouldnt even go to haven again...also there was plays/ pantomimes on in afternoon it was great fun....so much we are going again next week...:T:T
