The most cliched middle class family holiday destination you've been on?

[Borntobrighton]

For me in the UK - Cornwall & North Wales.
Abroad - a campsite in S. France 10 mins from St Tropez.

Not so posh
Salou & Cambrils
Tenerife
Won't be returning anytime soon.

Skiing in chamonix

Is it really that offensive? I thought "braying loudly" was such an evocative description

@Cutemob

Of course it is offensive- it suggests a homogeneous group of people defined by unpleasant criteria.

It's fine to come on and list places in a lighthearted way but when people slip into comments about clothes/shoes/habits in a derogatory way it is extremely offensive.

I strongly doubt the poster thought braying loudly was describing them in a pleasant way.

Aberdyfi is not in north Wales. People go on holiday to places like Towyn, Rhyl and Anglesey in North Wales and they are not well to do, yah types from London.

Zermatt, in ski season
Beaulieu
Isle of Skye

Heard a lot of posh British accents in San Sebastián last week. I tried to pretend we were not British!!

Conwy is full of American tourists atm though, but it's good because it brings income into the area and itsv basically dead in the winter months anyway.

Is £60 a night something middle class people would want? Surely that's a budget holiday. I am living what would be considered a very upper middle class / wealthy but not super wealthy life but I am not English so some of the peculiarities of the English still bemuse me. Camping is one. Camping is something you could not pay me to do and yet it seems like something both middle class and poorer people go here. Living in a tent in a compound with other people and using shared facilities sounds like a punishment not a nice holiday

Both Southwold and Aldeburgh

Isle of Skye
(Or certainly the English who are there)
Have 'friends' who take their (primary age) DC every year for 3 weeks rent a cottage. They mention board games, brisk walks and warm jumpers.
I say friends as really we have zero in common. It's a stealth boast in holiday form.

It's an 'experience' for a weekend (involving wine and feral kids) not a full holiday for some.
Not real camping.

Centre Parcs.

Aberdyfi is definitely not North Wales. I wouldn't call it a posh holiday destination either.

We're on the Pinewoods site in Wells at the moment (friend's caravan) and always notice that the Holkham end of the beach is an awful lot more awfully than the Wells end.
It's very true that most if N Norfolk has become the go to tinkly laugh destination over the years. Old Hunstanton was my childhood as family owned the Mariner but now, although I still adore the place, I always feel a little too grubby to be there 😄

@HavfrueDenizKisi
You are missing the rules of punching.
You can punch up, but you can't punch down.
(In fact I get the impression that most people poking fun at the MC are actually MC themselves and laughing at themselves deliberately)

Agree with Wells -Next- The- Sea - very MC

Definitely not camping anywhere!
Possibly at a stretch luxury glamping for a few nights for the children to experience wild foraging and building dens.

Otherwise the South of France, yacht in Greece - the usual.

@deedledeedledum I am British and I am also bemused by the British obsession with camping. It's like people have this deep seated need to recreate an Enid blyton or Arthur Ransome book they read as a child, no matter how uncomfortable the entire experience. The amount of expensive equipment one needs you might as well just go to a hotel IMO! However as per my previous comment about what constitutes middle class, some MC are struggling for money and genuinely do need a cheap holiday and many campsites are quite cheap. This group are not the same as the MC group who own a second home in Norfolk or who have flown to the Maldives

I’ve been to Bermuda, does that count or is it UK destinations?

Yes Norfolk is definitely as OP said.
As a child it certainly wasnt upmarket. But then a lot of these places weren't. Second home owners now.
But the weather is a lot drier in summer than Cornwall..so those who know ..go East.
Yes I'm sort of MC. But from very WC background. Didn't go abroad until I was 21. That was the first time I stayed in a hotel too. So I'm happy to make fun as definitely too rough to be properly MC! (Or be accepted as such).

St Ives

St Lucia or the Bahamas for a family holiday

Who else is looking for their holiday destination to determine their social class?

Is Sheringham MC? What are the MC places in north Norfolk? Thanks.

Staying with friends/family in their homes in nice holiday destinations.

The marina my relatives keep their yachts at in Conwy in North Wales is pretty middle class, it’s stacked full of £1million+ boats. The houses surrounding the marina are 4 beds semis, selling for around £1 million too. Just a flat is £700,000. I don’t know if you can write off the whole of north wales!

It's got to be either Lech for skiing or, Devon and Cornwall.

We have holidayed very infrequently in the UK, so it was a complete revelation to us how utterly MC the southwest is. We stayed recently at the hotel on Burgh Island and it was full house on the rah bingo card every single day.
