Solve your family holiday dilemmas with 101 expert recommendations - new family holidays website launches www.101familyholidays.co.uk –

 Families who can’t decide where to go away this summer can turn to a new independent website, 101 Family Holidays (www.101familyholidays.co.uk) which has just launched.

 The site features expert travel recommendations from husband-and-wife team William and Sally Gray, two of the UK’s leading family travel experts.

 The site features a diverse selection of 101 holiday ideas, from youth hostelling in England and Wales to beach house rentals in New Zealand. The holidays can be searched by destination, price and holiday type. Visitors can also refine their results by entering their children’s ages or the time of year they plan to get away.

 There are firm family favourites including the Isle of Wight and working farms in Devon, but the site also recommends some more unusual ideas including walking with donkeys in Spain, tipi camping in Cornwall and touring America in a motorhome.

 William Gray is an award winning travel writer and author of numerous family travel guidebooks including Travel with Kids. Sally edits an inflight magazine.

 The site caters for all age groups as well as offering suggestions for single parent families. In many cases the selection challenges the family holiday stereotype by showing users  how options as diverse as diving courses, escorted tours of China and Vietnam and volunteering holidays in Costa Rica where families help with the rehabilitation of howler monkeys and macaws can make perfect family holiday options.

 There is a fun holiday quiz which lets users find out what type of family they are, and provides personalised recommendations, plus the Ask William and Sally section where the editors answer readers’ travel dilemmas.

 “As parents of 10-year-old twins, we know how hard it can be to come up with great holiday ideas at the right price, and we wanted to put all our hard-earned knowledge into one really useful website,” said William.

 “We’ve literally travelled the world to find the best family holidays and we’re confident that everyone – whatever their interests, their budget or the ages of their children – will be able to find a trip they would love to take.”

 101 Family Holidays is part of the award-winning 101 Holidays group which was launched in 2009 by Sunday Times Travel writers Mark Hodson and David Wickers.
