Any recommendations for May/June time (away from school holidays)?
I would think sticking with the British Isles is fav, I cant be arssed faffing about abroad if there are problems. The obvious ones are the BUtlins/Haven type, as he can have supervised activities all day long.
Still, I assume at some point the masses on here would have had the same issues, so recommend away. Or otherwise.
Thanks

Not much of a holiday for the kid if he's going to have "supervised activities" away from his mum and dad. Have you considered putting him in kennels?

Northern france is good for young kids.
We went to a few different cam sites and stayed in caravans when our eldest daughter was a baby and had a great time. Easy on the ferry and not too far to drive. Le Touquet is beautifull although a lot doesnt open till june. |

Can't go wrong with Butlins for the young uns - they love it.
Plenty of stuff to do on your doorstep and a good number of bars too! Went to the Minehead one a few years back - has the bonus of a nice beach just over the road. |

have to take kids to butlins with work, would recomend minehead but not the others, skeggy an bognor both havnt got as much on site , not many nice beaches around skeggy an north sea freezin, as for bognor , stoney beach an stoney reception after all its full of southerners and no one speaks to anyone else in true southern tradition, most unfriendliest place iv ever been !
take him to mainland spain or mallorca in june, loads of child friendly hotels , kids pools sea warmer and free flight if under 2. |

i went to skeggy butlins with my young children (3 and 1.5) last year and they loved it,, going again this year,, i thougt it was excellent for them , cost us about £1,500 this year( in laws coming as well) i think so probably cheaper to go to the carribean or something

we took our daughter to spain ,not to much hassle, but the most fun last summer was taking her camping to cornwall, we did have 5 days sun and could spend the day on beach, so i suppose that minehead has the advantage of a big indoor swimming centre if it rains.

!8 month olds like everything so long as they're constantly entertained. Just don't expect him/her to get the beers in or put their hand in their pocket at any point.

Thank you all. I am more confused than before. Butlins have a great deal at the moment but I do wonder whether he will ever be able to match me and my Pa's First prize in the Father and Son Comp, or my silver trophy for being the Coca-Cola boy. The sun in Spain or France appeals too mind you, as does the wonderous Cornwall/Devon stretch.
Cheers, Ill go back to the drawig board. Im sure he will like it whatever we do, but its so much different from picking a holiday just for us! ta muchly |

from £240/week for the first week in june - indoor and outdoor swimming pool, toddlers play area etc. Gorleston is lovely too, much nicer than great yarmouth
