Cheap holiday needed.

I am looking to take my family away for a week. Looking for a static caravan type holiday on the South West coast.
Missed The Sun voucher deal, so little annoyed about that.

But if anyone knows where the best deals can be found or has any good alternatives to get away for a bit. (I live in Taunton, so prefer to go to Devon, Dorset or Cornwal as the drive is not too long)

Thanks all..

    Because the date has to be either 1 of the last 2 weeks of July and has to be the South West of England, last minutes don;t come up very often.. :(

    Just booked myself a week in the Woolacombe Bay parcs. Paid just under £300 for it, and will be staying in a static caravan for 4 people. So looking forward to it, as just needed a few days away, without goign abroad again.

    Definitely look at this, OP. I got a brochure through yesterday and a lot of the offers were half price.

    Try looking at www.static-caravan.co.uk, private owners advertise on there and the rates are really reasonable. You have to do a fair bit of phoning or emailing for quotes and availability, but i'm sure you'll find a bargain. You do have to pay for your own entertainment passes, if you need them.

    We have just booked our second holiday through private owners, with this website and i can highly recommend it. We do sun holidays aswell, but i prefer to book this way.

    They cover parks all over the country.

    Also have a look on ebay, there are sometimes some good bargains on there.
