Plan The Best Summer Family Break Now
April might seem a little early to be thinking of summer getaway breaks, but as the saying goes “The early bird, catches the worm”. The closer you wait to the summer to book the more limited the availability. The annual influx of tourists from June onwards often sees hotel rooms being snapped up quickly. Book your stay now gives you the best choice of deals, at the best prices and also gives you plenty of time to plan. Don’t forget SuperValu Getaway Breaks also allows you to transfer you book free of charge if needed.
This month’s blog takes a glance at some of the best family hotel deals this summer around the country. With a selection of beach ready coastal escapes, exhilarating adventure centre experiences and even boating holidays with SuperValu Getaway Breaks has a huge selection of perfect hotels for families.
