October holiday with toddler

[Bumpkin]

Mr B just found out can get week off mid October so am trying to find something not ridiculously expensive for a week with hopefully some sun and a 2.5 yr old. Ideally would like small family friendly hotel (not big complex, wasn't planning on putting little B in a kids club this year). Baby friendly bolt holes look fab, but once you add in food, most looking like over ?2,000 for the week which is out of our budget really at the moment.

Any ideas?

We booked a package with co-op travel ( http://www.cooptravel.co.uk) for Egypt in November for about a 1100 for our one year old and both of us. I haven't been before but have seen others recommend the area (Red Sea) on the forum and thought it looked good. We compromised on stars (4 rather than 5) so we could have a room with a little lounge for early evenings. That is the price for all inclusive and it flies out of Gatwick which makes things easier. Fingers crossed it will be alright but really a week of no cooking, cleaning or laundry and a bit of free booze is my kinda week!
