Good holiday for the little uns on a budget...? (1 Viewer)

[benni]

This year - what with me having bought an apartment and lots of musical equipment I cant afford a grandiose holiday but feel bad not taking the little dude away for an adventure over the summer.

The only problem is any cheap special offers I can find cater for 2 adults and a child... but as my boyf is saving his behind off for some pedals and a new guitar it'll just be me and the little guy for this trip.

So - does anyone have suggestions for a decent trip for about 4 days - a week, not too much cash that'll keep my 6 year old happy and occupied.... but that isnt some generic beach in spain etc? I know its asking a lot! But staying in Ireland is an option too.....

D'ykno - this actually sounded like a not too bad idea. Then i checked the prices. 600 fuckin euro for a weekend! I went to disneyland paris with the little dude last year for 5 days for that amount!!!

Thats a bit much aint it!
Thanks all the same tho

Camping?

Somewhere like Brittany - go over on the sleeper ferry (an adventure any boy would love), then camp somewhere near enough to the ferry port (or accessible by public transport).

French campsites are deadly, and they usually have lots of activities nearby like canoing and cycling and chateaus.

Keycamp or those others are great too, but pretty expensive. Bringing your own tent is much cheaper, and you could feast on fresh bread, fruit and veg everyday.....mmmm watermelon.

That sounds like a great break anyway

Cornwall! It's not super-cheap, but it's great and it can be done on something of a budget (or at least you won't feel too ripped off). And you can go to the Eden Project, which is absolutely fucking deadly.

We did the whole cornwall/Eden/Longleat a couple of years ago. It was brilliant but not cheap at all.
