If you really want or need to get away for even a few days but worry about money, then there are ways in which you can still have a holiday without having to break the bank. Holidays abroad are often the most expensive unless you know someone you can stay with in which case you may only need to pay for the flights. If you have children then you may also have to go in school holidays which can make it even more expensive as tour operators and holiday home owners cash in on this time of year.
Camping is by far the cheapest way to holiday. If you are going with children, do not worry that you cant take them to a swanky hotel or a resort packed with entertainment as they are often happy as long as they are away. If you haven’t got a tent then why not ask around and see if you could borrow one. You can often borrow much of what you need to go camping or take items from home, for example, you don’t need to have sleeping bags, instead you can just take your quilts.
If camping is not for you then a mini break in the UK is likely to cost you around £200 – £300 for a family room in a hotel for 3 nights, meaning you may even be able to do more than one a year as you can easily spread the cost out.
