The school summer holidays are just a few weeks away and thousands of us are looking forward to spending quality time with our families and friends and catching up with loved ones in the sunshine – hopefully! Unfortunately, trips away seem to be getting more expensive every year and it can be very difficult and stressful for parents and carers to find the money to splash out on a holiday with their children, especially amid the Cost of Living Crisis.
Earlier this month, one mum said she saved more than £600 by venturing to Center Parcs in Belgium for her family’s week-long holiday, instead of driving just a few hours’ away to Center Parcs Sherwood Forest in Nottingham.
Rebecca Kellett, 33, travelled with her partner JP, 42, and his two children, to Center Parcs De Vossemeren during June Half Term and paid just £445 for their accommodation. A stay during the same time-frame at Sherwood Forest would have set the family back £1,699, Rebecca claimed – so travelling to Belgium for their family trip was a no-brainer. You can recap more about what Rebecca said about her bargain holiday here.
