UK holidays offer excellent value for money

Haven Holidays are reporting an increase in Spring and early Summer breaks with bookings up 30% over the last three weeks for breaks in June and July. “The current credit crunch combined with the high value of the Euro is putting people off travelling to Europe – families are opting for UK breaks because they offer such good value for money,” said Dawn Macey, Sales and Marketing Manager for the brand.

“Our holidays represent excellent value for money with self-catering breaks from as little as £99 for a four night stay for a family of up to four people.”

Staying in the UK also gives people much more flexibility in terms of travel time. “Most of our holidaymakers choose a park that is no more than two hours driving distance from home,” continued Dawn. “They are on holiday, unpacked and enjoying themselves in less time than it takes to check in at the airport.”

Luggage is another factor when it comes to staying in the UK. Baggage restrictions introduced by budget airlines can pose a problem – especially if you are travelling with children and babies.

Dawn said, “Cots and high chairs are readily available for hire on all our parks but even so, you need a lot of paraphernalia when travelling with kids. Holidays are a lot more relaxed if you can bring along everything your children might need or want without worrying about how much it weighs.”

Britain’s favourite holiday parks have a lot to offer. Apart from being a fantastic base for enjoying some of the best beaches in Europe the parks offer a wide range of activities for families – most of which are available at no extra cost.

They have heated indoor pools, multi-sports courts, kid’s clubs and a full programme of activities that ranges from archery and fencing to talent contests and quizzes. The parks have nightly entertainment aimed at keeping all ages happy with family shows in the early evening followed by music, dancing and cabaret.
