Family holidays are an important time when everyone can put aside work and school for a while and spend some much needed quality time together.
If you want to go on holiday but are struggling with the constant rising prices and those of the major holiday companies such as Haven or Butlins, then you may think that you cannot afford to go at all, but this is often not the case.
I recently wanted to book a week’s holiday in July for my partner and I and our two children. I was amazed to find that for a week in Cornwall (during term time) was going to cost between £600 and £1000 pounds. I knew that we would be able to go abroad for a similar sort of price but was keen on staying in the UK. After a bit of research on independent sites, I found a caravan holiday in Wales for the same week for less than £200! Although this was not our first choice of location, I decided that with the money we would save on the actually accommodation, it would mean that we could do a lot more activities when on holiday.
