Trying to find a cheap but good value family holiday for 2 adults & 2 children - why is it so hard?

Question

Have tried all the major websites but they all seem to ask where you want to go - we dont mind where we go as long as the flight is not too long as there will be a 3 year old with us. We just want something for around £250 pp for a week. Does anyone know of any good sites that are good value and would offer this? Or will I have to go to a travel agents and browse face to face?

Answer 1

I agree, finding holidays online takes ages and is very tiring. Lastminute.com used to have a search where you could put in the dates you wanted and your budget, and it would tell you where you could go, but I don't think it's available anymore. It might be worth a look though, as they do have lots of suggestions of places to go.
An alternative would be to ask Answers for recommendations for your holiday destination. With 2 children I'd recommend anywhere with a nice beach - they love it and it's free!

Try camping in the UK. Alot of the holiday companies are just out to make money on families because there are only certain times of the year kids can have off school.
