Last Resort Holiday Ideas?
Well we've left it to late to sort anything out without getting ripped off, so we are going to have to think again...
in the next couple of weeks want to get away for 7 days, 2 adults 2 kids...just run out of ideas really? So what suggestions does the mighty org have? |

Re: Last Resort Holiday Ideas?
If you are happy to stay in UK how about the New Forest?
Try the Newforestcottages website based in Lymington to see if they have any last minute availability. Beaches at Bournemouth and Boscombe nearby. Plus lots of activities in the Forest. Poole bike meet on a Tuesday night is fun too.

Re: Last Resort Holiday Ideas?
We've got the same problem, so we asked the kids what they wanted to do
Legoland, Harry Potter studio tour, days out here and there, London day trip etc etc

Re: Last Resort Holiday Ideas?
the harry potter studio tour is really good from what I remember, did that a few months ago or so.

Re: Last Resort Holiday Ideas?
Cheap cruise around the med, kids can go off and meet others on board, you can relax in the pool and days ashore sight seeing. Costs are all in, kids have prepaid drinks cards.
Inside cabin to keep costs down, you are only sleeping in there. Should be some last minute bargins around. Pete

Re: Last Resort Holiday Ideas?
Well we've looked at all of the last minute deals abroad and villas etc. but they are going up in price, not down....that has surprised us.
So we have started looking in the UK, as that way we can take the dog, which saves money and a bit of hassle...problem is it always rains when we go away in this country and we dont want to curse the island! |
