They tend to be ten a penny abroad but lord knows why there isn't a huge number in the UK?

When you have a family with 2 kids it's much nicer to put your feet up and not worry about cooking. Does anyone know of any in the UK- ideally within a 2 hour drive of Yorkshire?

Thought Centre Parks were self catering not AI?

P&O are doing local cruises around the uk.

Butlins in Skeggy, inc apart from alcohol and drinks out of mealtimes if you want. I’ve been a good few times, used the Seaside Apartments as they were the best for location v. quality. Tbh we have gone self catering for flexibility the on site restaurants are fine on (and there is an excellent Italian restaurant in Skegness we go to when we’re up there). Never had a bad time, we have seen the clientele change over the last 10 years, it’s funny seeing the slightly scared looking Boden mums at the beginning of their stay, then they relax because the kids are having a great time.

Center Parcs is like an expensive holiday prison.

This is it also- so expensive for what they offer. No resort can help the weather but it is a major risk in the UK so I'd like somewhere the kids can still have a great time and look forward to a nice bite to eat.

Potters are fully booked!

Is Skeggy decent? Last I went it was really scruffy! And are Butlins fully inclusive?

Town was a bit scruffy (if that’s what you mean) but we haven been up there for 18 months though, tbh apart from popping down once to have a meal in the evening we didn’t bother. As I said you can choose the food inclusive package. I suggest you go to their website for more info...

Fantasy Island at Ingoldmells was a revelation, having been to Alton Towers a few months before we agreed that we would rather have three days out at Fantasy Island than one at Alton Towers based on cost and the fun we had.

Having previously lived near the place, Skegness is an incredibly vile and nasty hellhole with very little to commend it, even on a sunny day. Lockdown only made it worse.

There is some real beauty around Lincolnshire, but not there!

Don't tell anyone else, but I'm looking at a car ferry to the channel islands and a cottage...

Haven't got much choice at the minute- just need a change and can't go abroad!

Just go self catering and buy a tonne of high end ready meals and a case of booze? Bound to be cheaper.
