Is anywhere affordable?

[Doryhunky]

We have a tent so
Could camp but it wears me out
And the children are at a particularly difficult
Stage.
So i have been looking at hostels or dorm accommodation in holiday centres and they are all so expensive averaging 100 a night.
Separately I have been looking at term
Time retreat centres for me and - again -
Quite basic accommodation is still quite pricey.
Any suggestions welcome

House swap?

If you're brave and like people you could try this?

Field centres can have good cheap rates.

What about a newspaper £10 holiday? Do they work?

Is staying in a Travel Lodge/Premier Inn cheaper?

I think some travel lodges work out the same price as family rooms in hostels so
Worth considering. Can’t house swap
At the moment because we have a lodger. Will look for field centres.

We had most of our family holidays in them when I was growing up. Most have dormitories and family rooms. Some are in really amazing locations too.

depends when and where and how many DC but SC accommodation in uk can be cheaper than £100 a night. For example a quick search has found lots of nice flats in Pembrokeshire (lovely family area) for £3-400 for two beds for a week.

Premier inn £29 a night rooms or hoseaons if you read the reviews on trip advisor and choose carefully there are some nice sites.

Yes, self catering is also a possibility. Yha family rooms are just too expensive for what they offer. I had great family hols in affordable dorms as a
Child but these days I would have to book
A family room which isn’t affordable.

Caravans are cheap. We went to Scotland for 5 days in May half term for £179.

Caravan parks. Haven etc can get you a good location and space to use as a base to explore an area. We've also used a premier inn for a week but it really adds up when you cant self cater a bit.

We have rented cottages from cottages4you (or whatever they are now called), you can get a cottage for £400 for the week, less than £100 per night. If you have tesco vouchers you can also exchange them on the club card scheme for an extra £100 off 👍

The Sun holidays for £9.50 are on at the moment.

Try Independent Hostel Guide, a lot of the independant hostels are cheaper than YHA, Or Google Field Centres. Depends what your looking for.
If you message me I might be able to help 👍🏻

What is your family size?
Tied to school holidays or not?
Where in the country are you and where to you want to travel to?
Do you have a car or do you need public transport to get there/get around?

Yha is cheap if you book at the last minute. Their prices vary massively so if possible book with them with a couple of days notice. If not look at camping pods for an easier version of camping.

We just stayed in Holiday Inn Express in Bath for £52.50 a night for 4 people including full English breakfast. Car parking was £7.50 a night if need that. Booked via Booking.com. Does vary by dates / offers at times.

Sorry, we are three, tied to school hols, and have a car!

Just booked 3x sun holidays for this year today. Although as you need school hols there is probably only pontins left, depends how fussy you are, but can work out v cheap.
I can’t wait (we have booked some lovely parks)

Sun £9.50 holidays - there's a group on Facebook which has all the details and codes.

We have spent a few nights at the side of the road, pub carparks etc with our camper vans. Many pubs will let you as long as you buy a beer or two.
But only do able if you have a camper van.
How about helping out on a camp site in exchange for a free pitch?
Just ask on here you never know
