Travelodge has released 50,000 rooms for £29 or less for this February Half Term

Keeping the kids entertained over the February half-term break can be challenging, so why not treat the children to an action-packed UK short break this year?

To help you get away, Travelodge has released 50,000 rooms for £29 or less across its UK hotels for stays between the 10th and 26th February 2017 (this accommodates the staggered school half term dates for 2017). This works out at just £7.25 per person for a family of four – cheaper than a family trip to the cinema with popcorn.

    • I’m a lover of museums too, I can’t wait until my children are of the age where they will actually stop long enough in one place to really look at all there is to see in a museum instead of treating it as a race!

  1. Wow – this is great (and at half term too). Prices normally go up then instead of down. Will have to get on the website and take advantage quickly! Now to decide where to go…
