£3000 for a family holiday- where would you go?

[Covidiom]

Our budget for next year is a bit bigger than usual. We have 3 children (who will be 1, 4 and 12). Where could we go that would keep all 3 of them entertained and would have accommodation with at least 2 bedrooms and a living area for DH and I to be in the evenings while they sleep? We are thinking 5 days- a week. Probably UK but maybe Europe. Not including spending money.

Sandy Balls? Depends where you live I guess.

Center Parcs?

Menorca. I’d definitely not stay in the U.K.

Martinhal in the Algarve

I would NOT stay in uk for five days at a cost of £3000 !!!!

There MUST be a better option

Look at Sands Resort Cornwall
Bedruthan steps or Watergate Bay hotel

Sandy Balls....south coast

USA Resort ..Cornwall near Carbis Bay

go abroad op! look for places with a child free place. there's plenty of all inclusive places within that budget. change your filters to include holiday clubs for kids although I'm sure they will be pretty entertained playing in the pool all day.

Magic Natura

Have you looked at something like Esprit holidays? Summer alpine holidays in chalets.

What time of year?

With the wide age ranges I would look at a Eurocamp type holiday but in the better type of accommodation. On that budget for 5 days you could get a Safari Tent with bathroom or lodge etc. Then you'll have indoor and outdoor living space for when the younger ones are sleeping and the sites are generally safe enough to allow the 12 year old some freedom. I love Yelloh Village Les Mouettes in Brittany.

We had some great stays in Eurocamp, in tents and caravans.

£3k should get you 5 days at an all inclusive in Ibiza - that would get my vote.

We did an air b n b in Spain this year including car hire and spending money for about £2000.

I second this. Go abroad, use the kids clubs, have some sun and enjoy! Sorry, but IMO UK holiday market can suck. You can't predict the weather, everything is super expensive and well it just doesn't beat a week of fun in the sun!

Efteling in Holland combined with berke begeen safari Park.

Or somewhere like ibiza /mallorca... South of France beautiful campsites there..

Or a series of little holidays

Cyprus. Various AI resorts near Paphos. Might be slightly more than your budget but you wouldn’t need the spending money.

I would go to cyprus too. You can get a four star all inclusive for £3k in peak season.

Do not stay in the uk!

Go to greece or cyprus

Another one for Efteling in Holland (suits all ages) or Majorca for some summer sun - maybe a small apartment or Villa?

Disneyland Paris.

Staying either at their Davy Crockett Ranch or Villages Nature.

Absolutely go abroad, Ballearics or Canaries in a villa perhaps. Don't waste £3k on a few days doing British things somewhere that is less comfortable than your own home.

Or buy the Disney annual pass and go a few times stsying off site.

Duinrell in Holland
Eurocamp in France
Half term somewhere like Menorca

Does anyone have any links to family holidays abroad in school holidays for £3k? Genuine question, I’ve been looking all week and can’t see anything for less than 6-7k. Sounds like I’m looking in the wrong places!
Good luck OP!
