Once was in a large rental property with about 10 bedrooms and the others were in cottages with 2 or 3 in a set. Great to let the kids run in and out doing the cousin thing without parents dropping off and picking up. Sometimes you can get a shared pool between properties. They have usually been walking distance to a pub (good source of meals as well as liquids) and a Tesco delivery on the evening of arrival usually sorts out the basics. Bring a dish or nominate a meal to different families will stop everything falling to the organised one. Worth a look and can work out cost-wise even if you have to book a full week, but only stay a few days. I have fabulous photos from these events and great memories of the mini-shows the kids would put on. Really recreating the best parts of holidays when I was young.

A) we own an 8 berth caravan with fully flush toilet shower and 3 bedrooms no rolling anything up. b) the tour operator for mobiles in france/spain etc do accommodate our size family, you just tell them what you looking and they come back with the details. c) a mother of 5 looks like you and me, sexy, beautiful, sassy and modest!! d) Hotels are losers cos they don't realise how much we would spend if only they'd provide rooms close together at reasonable prices. Book in October when the new flight schedules come out and they flights are cheaper(for europe anyhow) <br /><br />And apart from all that, home sweet home is wonderful and you are invited to Portstewart anytime - cos as WE know, if you have %, you might as well have 10!<br /><br />bxxxBrendanoreply@blogger.com
