    As an adult (I'm 31) I have been to the isle of wight, menorca, Wales, butlins Skegness and the new forest. Our honeymoon was in Somerset. We just can't afford much in holidays we are desperate to move house. Oh says we should book a great family holiday abroad next year and move after as we definitely won't be able to once we are mortgaged up to our eyeballs.

    Where would people recommend as a great 1 off place for family with kids 8 and 6? Dd only flown once when she was 2 and ds never has so not long haul. We liked the way menorca was very family orientated but I know very little about travel. Help!

    I worked at butlins started at minehead then Skegness all so Aye in Scotland started as a kitchen porter all I did was wash bacon and sausage tins . The manger saw how I worked (I did not stop for a fag brake every 10 minutes) like all the other as I did not smoke. I then went on to work in reds as a door man the things that happened there world turn your stomach . I could go on but

    I suggest Dalyan in Turkey, although can be quite expensive. Anywhere in turkey is very family orientated, look for a hotel with kids activities xx
