Most middle class family holiday destination? (just for fun!)

[Butterforbread]

I haven't spotted a middle class thread all week so thought I'd start one just for fun 😜
In your opinion what are the most middle class or umc holiday spots?
Summer:
Any part of France (extra posh if you have friends or family who have a house to put you & the kids up in!)
Italian Lakes
Greek Islands

Winter
Barbados or similar Caribbean Island
Skiing in the Austrian, Swiss or French Akps (wealthiest go to Switzerland)
Christmas markets

This is just for fun & based on the wealthier middle class families I know! They all seem to go to the same places!

My son is backpacking there as we speak 😊🤦‍♀️

Why is France regarded as a middle class holiday destination?

I love that people have put Pembrokeshire. Tenby is sooooo MC!! North Pembs though? Completely agree!

Abersoch? Really? Changed a bit from when my mum and dad used to take me for cheap n cheerful bnb hols in the 60s.

Its MC to holiday in some places of the UK, mainly parts of the Cornwall/Devon Joules-belt, or North Norfolk. Some part of South Wales too.

For extra MC points you need to scoff at anyone who wants to go abroad, especially if they go AI.

Dubai Is chav/influencer central.

Dorset

I can’t believe no one has mentioned Burnham Market. If the well to do middle classes have a smell, it’s Burnham Market in the summer. More specifically, in Summer ‘21 the smell of bitter disappointment of not being in Sarlat two years in a row ( and how did Minty from prep school manage to get to her villa in Corfu?)

I love Chatham, it is one of my favourite family holiday spots ( if a little niche). I was treated like a celebrity by Girl Scouts on account of sounding just like ‘Duchess Kate.’ We quite often go to New England. It takes not much longer than much of Europe and feels like America on its very best behaviour.

This year we are staying in at FIL’s in the French Alps then in a villa just outside Carcasonne. Quite frankly I’d spend a fortnight in an ELeclerc car park, provided it’s not in Burnham fucking Market again.

Dubai?? Hardly.

Norfolk, eg a lovely long weekend in Burnham Market
Villefranche-sur-Mer (not Nice) / Noirmoutier/Il de Re/La Rochelle
Mallorca (but not Magaluf)
Northumberland
'A friend's place in the Highlands'
Umbria (not Tuscany)

Quite frankly I’d spend a fortnight in an ELeclerc car park, provided it’s not in Burnham fucking Market again

😂perfect cross-posts!

In Scotland a lot of them go to Elie in Fife.

Glad my ancestral home (St Kitts) made the list! I've sailed around the Greek Islands, which I thought was vair naice. Holidaying in the Scottish Highlands and camping in Devon, always struck me as very middle class.

This was the first thing that came to mind

You say Southwold, but I raise you Walberswick.

Walberswick
Brancaster
Mousehole
Ile de Re
Cascais
Uzes

Wells Next the sea- in a cottage
Rock - also in a cottage
Porto Pollensa
Florida for the golf and a day or two at the theme parks for the dc of course.
Skiing anywhere
Camping in France

It totally depends on where in France and whether you are staying in a private house. Staying in a hotel in Nice is not a high end choice. A private house in the hills behind Cannes and Antibes is.

How about diving holidays in Cornwall, Scotland and Indonesia?

I'm MC PIL very UC.

The house in France (Provence) for most of the summer
Skiing in Switzerland, France at a push
The house in Keyna in winter, pit stop at the family polo farm
Portugal, Greek islands, Naxos, Cornwall, South Africa, Croatia, Sardinia, Sicily, Italy, lakes and north, and riding holidays all over the UK.

Thorpeness
Aldeburgh
Southwold
Walberswick
Wells
Holt

Basically Suffolk and North Norfolk coast
Bloody chockablock with MC bloody SUVs

Hmmm. Not convinced on no Dubai, I know lots of mc people who go there over Xmas. However we have much more multi - cultural crowd, all m/c but very not white British Nominally Christian which is very much the reflection in most MN middle class threads

Christmas:
dubai
South Africa
Asia
Costa Rica

feb half term
skiing in France
New York

easter
Asia or Barbados

May half term
well you really do need to have one school holiday at home don’t you but we might book something last minute in somewhere like Suffolk or Norfolk for a few days

summer
Croatia / mallorca / south of France if you own a place
Ikos / Sani if you want a “naice” hotel

interailing in Europe or backpacking in Asia for the uni students

@moofolk I went glamping IN the Eden Project!
Switzerland via train
Renting a quirky camper to go the Highlands
Toledo
Ironic stay in Blackpool
Inter-railing
Scandinavia- bonus points for by the lake
Camping in the Netherlands which everyone loves and it has absolutely nothing to do with the fact that they all speak brilliant English so we can be lazy
Costa Rica yoga retreat
Seattle

I don’t think of Dubai as middle class…it’s a bit…..how do I put it….Love Island/RealHousewives 😂

N Norfolk: Burnham Market, Burnham Overy Staithe, Brancaster, Blakeney. Wells if you have a beach hut.

LOL, yes, Wowo campsite. Quintessential MC Camping.
