How much did you spend on your family/couple holiday this year and where did you go?

[Summersun111]

I am wanting to get some inspiration for a holiday next year and also I will admit I'm being nosey! (Please don't answer if you're not comfortable)

I will start.... myself and my DH went on our honeymoon to Singapore and bali for 2 weeks. (No children) We paid £1500 each! I did everything myself and booked all my hotels via quidco to get some cash back!

Please don't see this post as a brag post, for your info I was actually ill for 7 days with food poisoning so not as glam as it sounds! very gutted =(

A week up in Stonehaven near Aberdeen, 2 adults and 2 small dc. Drove and self catered in an air bnb. Probably spent about 900 all in. It was a wonderful week, and we will definetly return.

Think we spent about £1500 total on our honeymoon - 2 weeks in Italy.

This year prob less than half that on 9 days exploring Thessaloniki and Northern Greece. Can't beat 3 courses + wine for 2 for 30 euros

Anna- we went to Italy two years ago beautiful country! We are in the same boat, our budget will be half of ours this year! I am sure there will be lovely places we can go!

World's our oyster haha (kind of..)

NIce hotel in the UK. Me, DH and 3 kids. About 2.5k once we’d paid travel, food, activities etc.

1 trip to Aberdeen in August. 1 adult + 2 children in 1 cabin, plus car = £600 return. Not including food and drink. 14hours.

Oh and that includes an islander discount.

We have to cover that cost no matter where we go in UK or abroad. It’s astronomical and we are thinking of moving as it’s getting too expensive to visit family & friends/ theatre/ zoo etc. let alone go “on holiday”

We did a week in France (approx. £800) then flew to Greece for a week (approx 3k).

We also did another week in Greece recently which was 2k.

Next year we will probably do 10 days in South Africa, then 3 weeks in Australia, so we need to start saving for that.

£550 long weekend in the Peak District. 2 adults 2 children. I'm here now.

Oh we also did 3 long weekends in Cornwall, Cotswolds and Dublin - probably £200 each person for each trip.

Went to Salou in Spain with my child. Spent about £1600 incl 4* hotel, flights and theme park tickets. Loads of fun!

About £3k, week all inclusive tenerife. Family of 4

4 lodge/cottage breaks... York, The Lakes, Scotland and Lancashire. 2 adults probably £1'600- £1'800 including accommodation, food, activities and petrol.

Couple, 6 days in Dubai 3.5k, all in including spending money.

£2k for a week at Salou with my 2 teens, waterpark and theme park tickets too.

Lots of fun and very relaxing.

£180 for 4 nights glamping at the seaside. It was August so couldn't get a cheaper rate. With travel and spends it probably came to about £250 but it was our main summer holiday.

This year we did a week with the entire family in the lakes in a massive cabin (12 of us) for £100 each. It was ridiculously hot and perfect weather to be point we felt like we were abroad.

Last year we did Tenerife all inclusive for £1500 for the three of us for a week.

The year before was Australia for 2 weeks for £2000 altogether for us all.

The last holiday before that was three years ago and we travelled around France and Italy on the trains and it cost £1500 with £500 spends. That was an amazing holiday as we did Venice, Rome, Florence, Milan, Paris, London, Switzerland and a variety of stops in between. We booked it all individually and wasn’t too expensive even though we picked good hotels and the trains are very easy and cheap.

I’m a bit of a Bargain hunter and can usually find some good deals and book it individually rather than through a tour operator and it works out better for us

We went to Mexico, 2 adults and 2 kids it was about £8k. 3rd time to that particular hotel as it’s so good.

£500 ish- visited a relative in Tenerife for a week in Feb, the north of Tenerife is beautiful and we try to go at least once a year. Cost was flights and car hire as no accommodation costs, but obviously spending money on top. (I also went again for 10 days in the summer but without DP but that was to look after my relative as she recovered from a big operation so not a holiday)

Then in the summer a week in Dorset, we got an absolute steal of an air bnb cottage with views over Chesil beach, around £300 if I remember rightly, it was just perfect too. Then add fuel for the journey down from the north, plus food etc as self catering.

We’d normally be having another holiday around now, October half term, but not got the budget for it this year.

Inc spending money all estimated

April - Disneyland £4K
June - 3 nights in highlands £500
July - 2 weeks in midlands / northern England with lots of days out £1.5k?
October - caravan for 4 nights in Yorkshire £350

2 adults and 2 kids

1 x 3 nights in Bath - April - £600 apartment
1 x 2 nights In Bath - July - £410, hotel
1 x 7 nights Portugal - August, £2,800 villa, £1200 flights
1 x 7 nights Bude, October - £1800 - holiday house

Prob about 4000, couple. Two weeks in Devon and one in Peak District.

Lincolnshire coastal Haven site, me and toddler DS, £90 for the van, £40 ok food, £50 on spends, £30 on petrol.
So £210 in total. Was ace.

Our main holiday this year is new york has cost us a thousand each for hotel and flights, we will take another thousand each spends and then other bits such as hotel in this country new york passes etc etc add up to about £400 each.

We've done two other city breaks adding up to about £500 each plus spends.

And then we've explored Majorca for 4 days driving about £250 inc spends each.
