I'm feeling very despondent about the whole summer holiday thing now that we have to travel during school holidays. The prices are astronomical - not that I blame the companies - supply and demand and all that.
Anyway I would love to go away with the family this summer (2 adults, ds will be 5.6, dd will be 2) and wondered what the cheapest self-catering holiday I could get would be. I don't mind whereabouts or the duration but would like to be somewhere reasonable warm (UK or elsewhere), near a beach that's safe for kids or have access to a swimming pool. I am trying to budget for everything like travel costs (including petrol costs if driving), food, spending money, accommodation, insurances etc all for a max of about £700. Are the package deals you get really good value or do they have hidden costs that add up at the end?
I know this is asking alot but if anyone could help me with this I would be so grateful even if all it does is show me that there is no way we could manage it on the budget.
I realise to have a holiday at all is a luxury and am prepared for people to tell me to get a life and stop worrying about such trivialities.

Family holiday for under £700 - is this possible in the summer holidays or am I mad to even ask?
