...I'm helping out on summer camp worldwide at the moment (oh yes i really do like camp that much) I went and worked at a summer camp and it was amazing!!! If anyone is thinking about going applications are open till around May. It beats working in the UK, getting paid to have so much fun is great.

12.08.2006 -19.8.2006 A memorable holiday for all the wrong reasons, resulting from booking a self-catering holiday for 8 people plus dog with Hoseseasons, costing a little under £1,000 The main problem with it is was the lack of space, comfort and customer service. Coming from a larger family (numerically) we are aware of how much space 8 people require. It's obvious this knowledge hasn't seeped into the consciousness of the Hoseseasons management. ...
...in the living room our cottage provided 5. As space was at so much of a premium we couldn't even bring the dinning chairs through as there wasn't enough floor space. Last time we checked a self catering cottage would have enough storage space for at least a couple of days of food. Our family would rather cook than eat out, its our thing. The kitchenette was unable to store half of the food we brought and that was after to took all the crockery out ... Read review

We used Eurocamp 2 years ago in France and the experience was good. That was the first time we go with Eurocamp and the first time staying in a luxury tent. We have no complaint about Eurocamp from the begining to the end. Here's why - After we make our booking online, we received a confirmation immediately. Few days later, we received a well presented package consisting of travel tickets, accommodation vouchers, tourist guidebook of area, Michelin ...
...the facilities. - Most Eurocamp sites are very picturesque location. One first camp was in Jura. Our tent faces the lagoon and it was quiet and very scenic.

One thing that sprung to mind was Superbreak vouchers ...

It was also quite difficult to find hotels that had good reviews on tripadvisor.com (which we always use to help in our selection of hotels). It seemed that bargains were available for theatre breaks but not really for ordinary hotel stays. However, eventually we came up with an inn, (henceforth referred to as 'the inn') a gastro-pub with rooms, ... Read review
