I've been researching family holidays, like family holiday parcs as
going abroad is a little too expensive and probly would turn into a
nightmare witht the kids :)

To get a bit on topic I for the touchy :) I was looking for any
discounts or codes for holiday parcs or even ideas on this years summer
holiday which I noticed a lot of places have already sold out!!

So far I,ve found things like pontins and butlins, mainly for the kids
entertainment not 100% my thing but its affordable and the kids will
have a blast which is my main goal.

We did go to cetgre parcs last year which was great, but as the eldest
hadn;t started school we had the option of not having to pay peak rates
but now were stuck into that rut and will no doubt have to pay peak
rates. I did a quote on centre parcs for 4 nights in a "comfort" lodge
which is a cardboard box with doors and windows in the forest is a basic
setup very nice though was approx �1,300 odd a little much for what you
get in my opinion.

But if anyone has spotted any good deals with �600 (just trying to get a
small break for cheap as finances are quite tight) for 7 nights :)
around �150 miles of ringwood (dorset), please let me know :) and of
theres any discounts or bargains *snigger* available.

Thanks

Look on Ebay for holidays at Butlins but in a caravan instead of a
chalet. They are privately owned and when you rent one you get all the
same Butlins site benefits as a chalet but loads cheaper.

Had two four day breaks at Minehead last year, �120 and �150, September,
no good for anyone with school age kids but half the chalet price. Also
plenty of Haven holidays at cheaper prices. Another time stayed for a
hotel break in Cornwall that was half price and a bargain pub holiday in
the Lake District. Got to love Ebay!

With ref to term time holidays. Have you asked if you can take the child out
of school ?
Where we live schools are very understanding and provided work is up to date
it's not a problem
