Holiday payment

I’m interested to know how people would split the cost of a family holiday: It’s approx £3000 for a family of 4 (2 small children 5 & 6), a parent and their teenager (13) and another couple.

It’s a lodge. The family of 4 have 2 bedrooms. The couple have their own room with double bed, the parent will be sharing with their teen in a twin room.

Suggestions that have been made are:

  • family of 4 pay half, the couple and parent with teen pay a quarter each.
  • each party pay a third
  • Everyone pays a seventh per person except that the two little ones get classed as one seventh together. (So family of 4 pay 3/7)

There’s no issues or arguments or hard feelings. Everyone is happy to pay whatever they’re going to pay. If anything everyone is trying to be the “bigger person” and pay the suggestion that costs them more 🙄

I would just like to know what other people’s thoughts are.

TIA

Think the first suggestion is the best, couple with 2 kids pay half and then you and other couple pay a quarter each.

Option 1 .. family 1 pay half then the other 2 famillies pay quarter each.
