What's your budget?

How about this Full board & no flying - more info here

This is cheap and looks good for the kids! here 1st child free, second has 25% reduction and no driving or flying!

I know how you feel, I used to fly all the time and loved it but I dread it now!

brittany ferries have nice holidays with accomodation and ferry included. When I was little we went to Brittany and it was brilliant, hot and loads of fun, there's a place in place in Benodet (accomodation code YYB011) that looks nice, prices in August are cheaper than July and if they don't count the baby as a person then it only costs about £650 all in.

How about a house swap??
Why spend a fortune on accommodation?

Nickinha · 16/01/2006 17:18

If you arrange your own flights I can arrange accomodation at the Balaia Plaza hotel (very nice)for 7 nights (self catering though) T1 for £150, let me know if you are interested...

Nickinha · 16/01/2006 17:19

CountessDracula · 16/01/2006 17:21

Nickinha · 16/01/2006 17:23

CountessDracula · 16/01/2006 17:25

My MIL is going to the south of Brittany again this year, she has always driven further south in the pusuit of hot wether but was happy with the temp here.

What about the likes of keycamp or eurocamp, the ready set up tents are the cheapest option, or if you really want to keep the prices down take your own tent, MIL takes her caravan and has always been impressed by the quality of facilities. The campsites usually have pools, a shop and some kind of entertainment.
