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.

Menorca. Full of mummies shouting at Tarquin and Araminta from their sunbeds.

This is upper class to me, not middle class

Any Mark Warner resorts, I haven’t been to one for years but I did did five when two of my DC were preschoolers. There was a lot of of ‘oh little Charlie is a boarder at such and such a school’ and my older DC kept getting asked where he went to school? He said he wondered why the other kids asked him that as they probably wouldn’t have heard of our local comp.

Took this in Burnham Market years ago and it's been making me laugh ever since.

Yes @MassiveSalad22 I did go a bit behavioural the last time... made sure my kids were eating monster munch and drinking full fat coke playing on their PHONES in the 'rustic farm shop barn' and me with a strongbow...ooo the shock!! I also didn't pay extra for bringing a pup tent (£10 a night) as already paid enough to camp in a field in the middle of nowhere ( 3 miles walk to a pub)which was only recently vacated by cattle.

I dare not share the name as extremely outing..but its in East Sussex.

@Womblingforfree that reminds me of the time we unwittingly booked into a Camping and Caravan Club site. After accidentally breaking multiple rules within the first hour (including orientation of tent, the small tent for the children etc) the warden said "You aren't members are you?"

We camp multiple times a year... never had any issues before...

Totally agree. Cape Cod and Old Orchard Beach are millions of miles apart, socially. The Hamptons aren't Atlantic City. These distinctions exist wherever people with disposable income do.

@NancyJoan I think Port d'Andratx more so, or staying in a rural hotel near to Soller.

Me ! Sadly I’m clearly not middle class! Not one mention so far of any of my holiday destinations in the last 20 years.

I'm not sure about the camping thing, we don't do it (I hate the thought of it). People round here don't tend to do UK holidays unless it's a little add on/weekend break.
I think anyone that goes on holidays booked by Audley with a personalised itinery eg galapogas with private boat etc, personal transfers from airports etc is more middle class, well it is round here but we're in a v. wealthy area.

Wow, I have been there quite a bit and that wasn't my impression at all. Just down the coast from Tywyn, which is very down to earth. I love it there but I wouldn't call it North Wales, more mid, and I also never noticed the yah-ers and well-to-dos ;-)

Cornwall- Padstow, Rock etc
Devon- Salcombe
France- Provence, South of France, courchevel, Tignes etc
Kalkan, Turkey
Nepal and India
Anywhere with a yurt...

Center Parcs. Genuinely the only place where I have felt out of place as a lone parent. Didn't bother me, I've been back since, just noticeable.

Yes - also known as Hale Barns on sea!

Oh and there not mobile homes, they are lodges!

@Kindofcrunchy I don’t think you can compare Towyn, Rhyl and Anglesey. Towyn and Rhyl are very similar in size and offerings, whereas Anglesey is a vast area.

Particular areas of Anglesey are heaving with MC families, with performance parenting of Persephones happening all around Rhoscolyn, Rhosneigr and Trearddur.

people are always telling me I’m posh and must have gone to private school

’Always’ telling you. Sure 😉

Another vote for Sark

I was at Brancaster beach when I heard someone saying they were 'summering' somewhere-I have never before or since heard this term.

She also produced a baseball bat from her bag and the group she was with spontaneously went off to play rounders. Where I'm from getting a baseball bat out of your bag would mean you were gearing up for a fight!

Surrounded by NT kites (as they were lending them out to people) and people drinking flat whites from the concession stand, I realised that perhaps I was in the most middle class situation of my life thus far. I read my copy of 'take a break' a bit more furtively than usual!

Agreed. People were enjoying themselves, however, just not how I like to enjoy myself. It was much more MC up by the abbey, the199 steps proving to be off-putting to some.

I have been on holiday in most of these places mentioned, except the Welsh ones. I did grow up in the South Hams though, with Cornish parents, so visiting and going on holiday in all these places wasn't a class marker then, it was, er, just where we went. Would respectfully suggest that Villefranche is more middle-class than Nice, and Dinard/Saint Brieuc is more middle class than pretty much all of that glitzy coast...

Interested in the PP who hated Ile de Ré. I was last there about 20 years ago, loved it, and fancied returning. What did you dislike about it (if you are still reading)?

Where were you?

Pmsl about the baseball bat🤣
