If you’re tactically taking your holiday to double your annual leave in 2019, you’ll want to know how to make the most of your time off and enjoy quality time with the family, while getting the best value on a luxury getaway.

While cheap Easter holidays don’t come along very often, we’ve spoken to the experts at Expedia to find the best indulgent yet affordable breaks for families during the school holidays. The holiday booking website also gave Red some insight into the places travellers with children love the most, revealing its best-rated family destinations in Europe based on real traveller reviews.

Unsurprisingly, the UK topped the list with Britain being a wonderful place to take a staycation with the kids, whether you’re getting out and about in the Lake District or heading to the beach in Cornwall. Not forgetting the child-friendly city breaks you can enjoy in London, Edinburgh and Brighton.

Spain was the second best-rated location for a family holiday, with its marvellous beaches and idyllic islands so close to home that they’re worth the short-haul flight. Home to lovely chateaux, camping spots and a great place for families who prefer to drive to their holiday destination, France was named the third best place for travelling with kids. Meanwhile, foodie paradise Italy came fourth, followed by Germany, where you can get close to nature in the forests and national parks or soak up the buzz of cities like Berlin.

Want to experience the best of affordable luxury in Europe during the school holidays this spring, these fabulously cheap Easter holidays will impress you and the kids…
