[LadyCodofCodford]

ok in summer we want to go away for a special holiday 10th wedding anniversary with thekids
we are thinking europe and cant hink of anything else really
the kids love eurocamp type thing but i watn comfy bed this year
wonderd if a villa with pool maybe too borign for them but as we are 5 we find hotels a pita re. rooms.

so we want the odd activity but not total kids care
mark warner woudl be ideal BUt
a) boden braying wodul do my nut in and
B) it woudl be too expensive in holiday I think.

We booked with Leisure Direction which you can get an on-line quote with - had a 2 bed house, they do 3-bed ones too, kids are desperate to back they loved it soooo much

[LadyCodofCodford]

ooh not italy

[TheRtHonBaronessEnidOBE]

why not?

[LadyCodofCodford]

italians

and not near the sea

[CountessDracula]

Yes cod that sounds about right, we paid for a smaller one £2700 ish for 2 weeks

You could try one of the smaller ones, two big bedrooms and a sleepy thing in the living room (or they provide a cot if all 3 could share the room, plenty of room for one + the two single beds) They are a lot cheaper and still big but no private pool. TBH I would go for that again as don't care about priv. pool really, the main pool is vast and never crowded. We stayed in this one They are houses not apartments

Eating out was quite spenny yes for Greece - I guess for 3 of us with a bottle of wine averaged about 30 Euros. However we did breakfast at the house and often made sarnies for picnic at the beach etc. Meals at the place were around 3 to 6 euros for loads. They do kids food and will bring to the villa or house too ie fishfinger, spag bol etc

[LadyCodofCodford]

yes i got a price for the two bedded on e tin the end as the under occ for te three bed was a grand!

keep em coming cd have requested brochure
cd how much do oyu spend on food?
was self catering pracitacl at all?

[LadyCodofCodford]

beach nice?
need to talk on phone I think

[CountessDracula]

Oh yes would have been fine for self catering but am too lazy. There was a microwave, an oven, two rings (electric bleagh), and various other bits.

[LadyCodofCodford]

were there shops to buy food?
ofthen the idea is betetr htan thr reality 9 ie no shops nearby)

i note the price includes a car

[CountessDracula]

Beaches not the best but fine. Oh and the price includes car hire did you know that?

[LadyCodofCodford]

Yer car will be pants and won't fit 5 of you in I bet. The car we got with our villa is only a clio so Jools et al get that one and we have to get a bloody citroen berlingo! The embarrassment!!

[CountessDracula]

What about Sunsail? Potentially full of dinghy sailing bores, but good kids clubs and no different to MW really, just cheaper and a lower Boden quota.

[LadyCodofCodford]

is baby too young to sail?
