One Friday my husband text me asking if we should go away for that weekend, a spur of the moment mini family break. This isn't like us at all; I'm all about the planning and looking forward to a holiday. However, after hours of browsing the internet for areas to visit and hotels that would allow four people to sleep in one room, we decided to abandon the idea. The United Kingdom is a big old place to search for hotels when you have no idea where you want to go. We didn't give up on the idea completely, but instead started searching airbnb for a self catering place to stay. That way we would all have our own bedroom, space to relax in the evening and believe it or not it is a much cheaper option.
