    Hi all

    New Forest definately

    So much to do for kids and dogs. My favourite place. We went camping last year for a week and didnt take the dog and there was not one thing that we did that we could have included the dog.

    There is really so much to do and it is beautiful and tranquil too.

    Happy holidays

      Loads of caravan parks in west of scotland....we have a holiday home on Hunters Quay Dunoon and get a load of english visitors over the summer with lots for the kids to do..

      Holiday lodges in Scotland ? lodges west Scotland, cottage Argyll ? Hunters Quay Argyll Holidays
      May the road rise to meet you,
      May the wind be always at your back,
      May the sun shine warm upon your face,
      The rains fall soft upon your fields and,
      Until we meet again, May God hold you in the palm of His hand
      .

        Do you want camping recommendations or other accommodation? I can recommend some campsites but there is this website too

        Self Catering Villa Holidays, Apartments, Cottages to rent - Worldwide

        I've never used it, but I know a lot of people who recommend it a lot and if weren't planning to camp this year we'd be using it.

          We hardly ever go on holiday abroad anymore and usually hire a cottage for a week...is this the sort of thing you're looking for?

                Last year we went to Verwood it was gorgeous. We are members of Camping and Caravan Club so tend to stick to their sites. We have only been camping for a couple of years and dont get away as often as we like but er find Camping and Caravan site very respectable.

                And dont be daft I dont mind you asking at all

                    Hi Wayne, yes i have, got a good quote of £349 less the options etc, then realised I'd put the wrong date in, altered this to 2 weeks in advance for the school holidays and it went upto £869 for the same holiday, that ain't right

                      Well I would have suggested a Sun holiday, but you're too late - £15/person

                      I imagine they'll have another offer in a couple of months, they usually do.

                        My MiL had a book called something like 'Dogs Welcome' they had some lovely short breaks all over the place. Could be worth some research!

                          We did one acouple of years ago with my OH's elderly aunt, so had to be quite specific - bedroom and bathroom downstairs, not too many steps etc.
                          Depending on budget of course but never had any probs with Welcome Cottages, and the staff couldnt be more helpful when ringing.

                            I looked at Centre Parcs too, thought it sounded ok price-wise until I realised all the fun looking things to do in the parcs are even more money!!

                              Of course I would say come to Devon, Beaches, Moors, Zoo, shops, fun play places for kids young and old. Holiday Cottages. Caravan Parks Dawlish Warren has loads of those.
