This Summer we are hoping to brave a trip abroad....3 little ones who will be 8, 4 and a half and a 9 month old.

We have to book this holiday way in advance for various reasons and we really don't have a big budget at all.


We have always holidayed in the UK, but this year the 2 older kids really want to be on a sandy beach abroad. We are not particularly fussed where we go but we would really like all inclusive as we're all knackered.

Short of Club Med and Mark Warner, I'm not really sure where to start looking, lol! We had a quick look this a.m at Thomson and we were both shocked by the prices.


Does anyone out there know of any secrets or have any advice as to where we could be looking for one week's all inclusive or even bed and breakfast somewhere......? This is all very new to me and I have no idea how a family of 5 begins to embark on a holiday abroad on a budget in school holidays!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


By the way, I'd like to add....if it was up to me, I'd be all up for Cornwall for a week but with the useless British weather, we want somewhere sunny with a pool for the kids, just for a week.


Thank you in advance for any replies and also, my apologies in advance ifnI don't reply for a while as I am pretty hands full right now....


Lol,

Egypt is good prices for all inclusive but summer is too hot

Try October?


I can recommend the iberotel grand in sharm, think it has a new name now


We booked a room for 2 adults two children then sneaked one of our twins in (!) so just booked flights for 5

We looked at neilson/mark warner and yes, super expensive for school summer holidays...and also quite booked up we found too. We did find some nice places on this website - www.totstotravel.co.uk - some of the Portugal ones are near beaches and some of the French gite clusters with a shared pool look nice, but again limited availability for this summer! Someone I spoke to said you need to book in November for the following summer....eeek!


We're heading to lefkada with our 2 boys to a group of villas with shared pool and some childcare on offer too - hoping it's not too hot though! We've also had some really lovely holidays in Puerto pollensa in Majorca - lovely child friendly beaches and nice town.


Edited to add - none of these are all inclusive though sorry - it actually doesn't appeal at all to us due to fussy eating children and wanting an apartment/villa rather than a hotel room...but we did find a couple of companies seemed a bit cheaper - seafarer, sunsail and ocean escapes - both v sailing oriented though....

    • Anyone can deliver for Evri - my daughter having just passed her driving test tried Evri to make some money - they basically give you a route and as many parcels as they think you can cope with - you make money for each one you deliver, so you can imagine - speed is the priority. Why would they wait for you to answer the door when they can just throw it and take a photo? If you have a choice, choose a different courier service or shop elsewhere where they do.  
    • Boil - it’s the customer’s fault, not the delivery person’s. 
    • A bit of a long shot but I'm on the lookout for a portable pop-up counter or podium.   The kind you often see on a high street, used by charities or utility companies to advertise their wares.   I've included a photo to give you the idea. I'm a peckham-based artist and am looking for one for a free (and non-profit) community art project.  It can be in any workable condition and can already have signage on it as we will remove and redecorate ourselves.    Thanks in advance, Linzie
    • No I absolutely did not - that much is clear. Have you read the latest stories about Unite, Len and the hotel in Birmingham? The UK electorate were smart enough to reject a far-left party in 2019, let's hope they are smart enough to reject a far-right party at the next election too. If not we are all doomed.
