How do you feel about using holiday time to learn to swim with a UK holiday learning to swim. We can accommodate you at the pool or arrange accommodation in local B&B / guest house or in a hotel (with bed and breakfast). If we know how far you need to travel we can make suggestions for flights or train services for those that prefer not to drive. Car rental can also be arranged.

This beautifully landscaped Park is laid out around a willow surrounded fishing lake. Enjoy the peace of the Park, or take a short car ride or train trip to the bustling centre of Clacton, for the pier, beach and use of an indoor swimming pool.

Within easy reach of Clacton-on-Sea’s golden beaches, the famous Victorian pier, amusements and bustling, colourful promenades. With many exciting attractions nearby, plus a great line up of sparkling entertainment on Park, Highfield is the ideal choice for a lively family holiday.

Cross the tidal causeway to leafy Mersea Island for a gentler pace of life. Coopers Beach Holiday Park in East Mersea has fantastic coastal frontage, with views across the Blackwater estuary out to sea.

Situated by the River Blackwater with fine estuary views towards Mersea Island, this quiet relaxing Park has something for everyone with various attractions, nature reserves and footpaths nearby. Take a trip to the exciting Adventure Island Theme Park at Southend-On-Sea, or visit the attractive riverside town of Maldon to shop till you drop or stroll through Promenade Park and take in the magnificent views.

Come to Walton-on-the-Naze, on the Essex Sunshine Coast for the beautiful golden sandy beaches, a pier and seaside shops. Explore the tidal inlets, drive inland to famous landmarks painted by Constable, such as Flatford Mill and ‘The Hay Wain’ or visit nearby Colchester with its famous Zoo and Castle.

Valley Farm is perfectly positioned on the famous Essex Sunshine Coast, close to the vibrant resort of Clacton-on-Sea with its sandy beach, pier and well-maintained seafront gardens. With plenty of attractions to choose from, there’s something for all the family.

50 ways to save on your holidays

SCHOOLS are clamping down on parents who take their children on holiday during term time. At best, to get permission for even one extra day off at either end of a holiday requires a degree of form filling and letter writing that wouldn't be out of place in a Soviet police station. Even then, the final decision rests on the whim of the chairman of governors.

While the difference a day makes to a child's education is unquantifiable, it can add thousands of pounds to the price of a family holiday. But with this option of saving money virtually outlawed, how do you stick within the rules without breaking the bank?

Here are some examples from the article on how to save money on your holiday. Visit This is Money to read the holiday article in full.

13. Save up for the holiday you really want
You don't have to slum it. If you plan ahead and save your money like people did in the 'olden' days, you can have the holiday you want, where you want and when you want - even in the school holidays.

14. Take your bike
If you can't travel in the small hours, taking your family by car to the Continent in the summer can cost a small fortune. So long as you tell the ferry company in advance, most will allow you to take your bikes for free. This is especially viable if you're visiting Holland or the Belgian coast, which are famously rather flat.

15. Go youth hostelling
Did you know that in spite of the name, youth hostels are not the preserve of the young - and many have family rooms?

19. Haggle for your hotel by email
One tip we like is to find accommodation recommended in guide books and on the travel websites - then email them directly to check for availability. Wait a few weeks and check again. If it's still available you're in a strong position to haggle for a deal. Email is particularly useful for people who hate haggling face to face or by phone.

20. Collect newspaper tokens
Many newspapers have a travel club or offer travel discounts that involve collecting tokens. Some of them offer a fantastic opportunity to save money on your holiday. Others don't, so always read the small print.

21. Check the latest exchange rates
Fluctuations in the value of the pound can mean the difference between being able to afford a holiday in the US and not. At current rates, America is around 20% cheaper than a couple of years ago. Also, think about visiting countries with currencies aligned to the dollar such as those in Latin America and the Caribbean.
