To think holidays for singles are unaffordable

I'm single, 35, and finding it impossible to find any kind of affordable solo holiday, and it's really getting me down. I haven't been away from my studio flat for 3 years. I work from home mostly too and I'm crawling the walls.

I only have a few friends and they all have partners they travel with, and a few have kids, and so none have the time or cash to go on holiday with me.

Currently looking at camping options but campsites are all very family/kid orientated - I'm looking for a quiet, relaxing break and think a loner middle aged woman like me staying amongst them will seem a bit odd. I don't want to share a dorm room in a youth hostel, and at some hostels the cheap private rooms are already booked up until autumn 2024!

Any tips or recommendations? My max budget would be £300-400ish for a week including transport (I have a car and a bicycle), food and accommodation. I live in Hertfordshire.

Totally agree. I've gone on a couple of coach holidays and shared a twin room with a friend, however, no one wants to go on one with me in October that's £180 so I'd have to pay £60 single person supplement that I can't afford so won't go.
