There are lots of ways to save money and still end up with a great family holiday.We think that this year is in fact going to be a great year to get good value especially in the home holiday market where we are seeing lots of special offers.

If your children have not yet reached school age you can avoid high season premiums and take them on a holiday whenever it suits you. If you are confined to school holidays try booking when it is not as expensive. You might find for example that is cheaper in the last week of August when parents are keen to be home to get ready for the back to school frenzy then the first week in August. Our school calendar for Ireland may help you. Look at midweek flights which are better value also.

If you find some good value or have some good ideas for how to save do let us know via the forum.
