Holiday where we can be child free for a few hours?

Hello,

Not sure this is the right place for this...

We're looking for a holiday place where we can leave our two girls, 2 and 7 (both HFA), in somebody elses capable hands for a few hours. We were thinking somewhere like Butlins, Pontins, Centre Parks, etc, but so far as I can tell none of them are really able to deal with autism, even on the mild end.

We'd like to go away over the Easter weekend or something, or just for a weekend, we've never been on holiday as a family other than my inlaws in the US owing to the immense upheaval it causes (tried camping once, OMG) and needing a holiday afterwards to recover. My own family are unsupportive so we cannot rely on them for holiday help. If we could get somebody to give us a break...!

Can anybody suggest somewhere? It needs to be UK, preferably near a beach, and not costing £100s/week (which I realise maybe a contradiction given our requirements). Both kids receive high rate care if that helps.

  • I have to admit I had difficulty determining from their website what they actually offer, but childcare didn't seem to be on the agenda. I also think the prices for what appears to be nothing more than a luxury hotel to be extortionate. We've got a brochure coming anyway, maybe their website lets them down and they are worth the money.
