Family Short Break in England in May?

[partyweb]

Hi guys. I've just spent the whole evening with friends trying to work out where on earth to go for a long weekend (Fri-Mon) in May. We have 6 adults, 1 child aged 11 and 3 aged 5.

Any ideas please?

Obviously it depends where you live. No point suggesting Bournemouth if you live in Newcastle. Actually, no point suggesting Bournemouth at all.

Well I have been described as 'special'

What always works for us (6 adults, 6 kids - 8,5,4,3,1 15 weeks) is renting a big cottage preferably with a garden but anywhere near a beach. It doesn't really matter where you go (unless you want museums etc but then being from London you have all that anyway) you just have a good time with the kids during the day, then when they are in bed, spend the night drinking and arguing playing games. Simple, but effective

Yeah we debated that. But it works out very expensive. Also looked at this similar alternative: www.ribbyhall.co.uk which is slightly cheaper and only 8 mins from Blackpool. Although a 6 person 2 floor log cabin with plasma telly is about £625 for the weekend.

Also considered Butlins.

Some Centre Parcs codes (not sure if still work):

code for up to 40% off is PPWEB,
but its only on 3 or 4 bed villas mon - fri and selected dates

code to save 25% off is VL11

code to to give £100 reduction dependent on date/accommodation is BP02
