Looking to book a summer holiday but aside from knowing that it will be in Europe, I'm looking for some inspiration. DH and I are foodies. DD will only be 2.
Any good UK based websites that I should start on where I can refine my search?
I lived out of the UK for so long that I can't think of any off the top of my head except www.teletext.co.uk and it was pretty limited. We will be departing from the UK as coming back in the summer for some time.
Thanks all!

Search regions on tripadvisor. I just checked to make sure you can, searched for Ibiza, and their pic of Ibiza Town just put almost 25 year old memories in my mind and a massive smile on my face! Thanks for the pick-me-up! Their forums are also very good to post on.

Thanks SimplySteve - will take a look, but I don't have any idea where to go. Was hoping something was going to jump out at me once I'd applied some filters. Haha asking for the impossible!

We took 2 year old DS and few-month DD to Çeşme, Turkey and we, and they, loved it. Also recommend Sousse, Tunisia and Portinitx, Ibiza.

I can personally recommend the Marhaba Beach hotel in Sousse, and have been recently too. (https://www.tripadvisor.co.uk/HotelReview-g295401-d316772-Reviews-MarhabaaBeach-SousseSousseeGovernorate.html)_

Secret Escapes has some fantastic deals and the offers change weekly. There is a special section for family holidays. It can also be great for inspiration. I've used them many times and got some cracking bargains. DH and I are off to Florence, Venice & Pisa in two weeks and have paid less than 50% rack rate for all of it.

Another bit of advice, I have always found that 9 times out of 10 it is cheaper to book each bit independently rather than a package.

So try looking at a few airlines such as easyjet and see where there cheapest flights are to then work round that.

Happy Hunting!

I use Holiday Pirates for inspiration and then Trip Advisor for reviews.
