Self catering generally works out cheaper than half board but check out the cost of all-inclusive especially if you have children. There is nothing more frustrating than the kids refusing to eat a meal that you have just paid for. Work out before you go exactly what you want from the holiday. If you want the sun, then you should really aim for going abroad unless you want to chance the weather in the UK. If you are looking for a sightseeing trip on a budget, look at some of the more remote places in England, Scotland and Wales. There are very few people who have travelled the length and breadth of the country and seen what there is to offer. If you are looking for adventure, check out places such as Center Parcs or other activity centres domestically. Look for the cheapest accommodation and if you can, try and holiday out of season. If you are travelling abroad, arrange for a friend to drop you at the airport in return for you doing the same favour when needed. This will save on parking expenses or taxi fares.  If you are abroad and want to shop for groceries, check out where the locals shop. It will generally be cheaper.
