Give yourself a break this Easter

For singles who fancy a city break this Easter but want to avoid the costly 'euro zone', head for Belfast for a spot of 'the craic' says specialist operator, Friendship Travel.

The company is highlighting two-night breaks, departing on 10 April from £328 per person inclusive of return Gatwick flights, transfers, half-board accommodation (plus wine with dinner) in a twin room for sole occupancy at the three-star Park Inn and services of a Friendship Travel host. Three night breaks are also available, along with flights from regional airports (supplements may apply).

Pubs and bars abound in Belfast and range from the traditional Crown Liquor Saloon (all cosy snugs and tiled walls) to the contemporary style of Apartment Bar overlooking City Hall. For more details, log on to Friendshiptravel.com.

Alternatively, families can book a seven-night Easter holiday starting on 11 April and arrive - for no extra charge on 8, 9 or 10 April - courtesy of Woolacombe Bay Holiday Parks in North Devon.

This special deal of up to three nights free means, for instance, a 10-night holiday in a fully equipped two-bedroom caravan holiday home (sleeping four) costs a total of £180.

Park facilities, many free, include heated indoor pools, cinema, nine-hole golf, 10-pin bowling, tennis and children's clubs, along with a choice of bars and restaurants and nightly entertainment with star cabaret. For more information, log on to Woolacombe.com/bp.

Easter breaks in the unspoilt Norfolk coastline - where a family of four can enjoy a week's stay in ten acres of unspoilt countryside for £399 - are being featured at Rainbow's End Park.

The above price, equating to just under £100 per person, applies to arrivals on 11 April with accommodation in beautifully furnished two-bedroom self-catering properties.

An ideal choice for those seeking a holiday in tranquil surroundings, the park - which has direct access to a quiet, sandy beach - is situated six miles from the Norfolk Broads and is well-placed for traditional seaside towns such as Sheringham and Cromer.
