Easter 2023

Blimey £750 for a fortnight that is a lot of money, wonder what site that is. We remain at home during Bank Holidays since retiring 20 years ago by choice, I think it would be by financial restraint now. I do feel so sorry for young families it must really pull on the purse strings. 

I won’t pay those prices, outrageous. It may not be a very productive exercise in July & August, but a bit of research now will generally secure you a better price from a not too distant C&CC or independent site. For somebody ‘enjoying’ membership rates that’s quite shocking. In May & June I’ll be paying about £20 a night on sites with comparable facilities. If ‘over there’ can do it, why not here?

Slightly off topic, but an indication of the trend in prices for UK accommodation - 2 years ago we booked a cottage in Lancashire for a week at a touch over £500. Then coronavirus and the lockdown came and we were unable to go but postponed it, at no extra cost, to the same week last year.  Just about a month before we were due to go we got an email saying it had been taken off the holiday market (change of ownership) and we got a refund.

Last week I had a quick look to see what was happening and it's now back on the holiday market, and pretty fully booked, for £1750 a week ("mid" season)! 

(The alternative we booked and are going to in a fortnight comes in at about £80 a night, including the dogs and all power/heating etc.) 

You obviously don't understand, just under , over and popular.

We are fortunate enough to be able to book something very very late, so hoping to hoover up a bargain or two in terms of cottages. I have no qualms at asking for a reduced price, or a discount for a big cottage if only two of us use it. Many owners are fine with this, happy to have someone in rather than have it empty for a week. It’s best to book direct if you can, rather than via an agency.

PD if your just under £50 is £44.10 then I suppose I don't. But I think I do on the others.

Just checked my Bookings and Brecon Beacons in August this year is now over £40/night for two adults.

Mbee has booked a serviced pitch, super pitch even, hence the very high price.
