I have to say I love UK holidays and me and my family go to the Butlins Skegness holiday park ever year rather than abroad. Less stress, hassle and when the weather is on your side its great.
Skegness has a lot going for it Gemma. And Sutton on Sea and Mablethorpe. And the birds at Gibraltar Point.
