    It's all very well holidaying in the UK, but it's so expensive now! Eating and drinking out is very much cheaper in Europe (outside the usual bangers like Venice etc)

    We're going camping for our holiday in summer, but budgeting up what we'll spend as a family of four, I can't help but think we'd be better off taking cheap flights to anywhere in Europe and taking an airb&b or villa rental somewhere.

    Sorry! Not a dig at this thread which is excellent! Thanks OP! Just an observation in general and supported by anecdotal evidence from families at school that have been away recently...

    Agree with this. But would like to see a similar list with dog friendly uk holidays. Having a dog is a main reason to avoid flights so surprised so few holiday accommodations are dog friendly.

    Most of the links bring up a malware warning for me (Android phone). Might be worth just googling the locations or definitely not entering any credit card details.

    No issues here and I've tested on both laptop and android phone. I suspect your android antivirus software is reading it wrong.

    Hi, good point but there are lots of hidden gems on both side of the consideration, for instance you go abroad, may not be as friendly as home, not same safety in budget areas, illness from the unknown, not to mention the queues at the airport & waiting around 3 or 4 hours for a 2 hr flight that's after your travelling to & from airports at both ends. It's hellishly expensive in this country but it's here to stay so turn that frown... u know what I mean, have a great holiday in UK.

    These look great but is there anything like this that people recommend in Scotland? We were close to booking Piperdam but heard quite poor recent reviews so were put off
