Cheap Family Vacations in UK?

Hi Pals,

I’m looking to plan a family vacation in the UK without breaking the bank. We’re a family of four (two adults, two kids) and would love some recommendations for affordable destinations and activities. We’re open to both city breaks and countryside retreats.

Here are a few things we’re looking for:

  • Family-friendly activities
  • Budget accommodations
  • Affordable dining options
  • Any tips on saving money while traveling

Would love to hear about your experiences and suggestions. Thanks in advance for your help!

I travel solo and like to do activities, so I often book relatively cheap package holidays to tourist destinations. This way, I can book excursions and activities without worrying about the “minimum 2 people” requirement. I prioritize spending money on experiences while booking basic self-catering accommodation, which is harder to save on when you’re alone.

I just booked a trip that’s £200 cheaper than other dates because one of the flights is on a Friday the 13th! It’s not dirt cheap, but it’s cheaper than the other options!
