Gone are the days you can book a caravan down West Wales on a whim or take your family of four to Tenerife for less than a month's wages. However, we have found a cheap alternative to staying at a luxury Welsh location for as little as £55 a night. Portmeirion in Gwynedd, North Wales is home to the colourful Italian inspired village which is celebrated for its vibrant architecture which was made iconic by the classic TV series The Prisoner. ‌ Here is how you can take the whole family on a mini Mediterranean escape in North Wales for the night for less than a flight to Italy. From superstar gigs to cosy pubs, find out What's On in Wales by signing up to our newsletter here . ‌ The gorgeous village offers on site motorhome pitches from £55 to £85 per night, depending on what time of year you go and what size plot you would like. There are 23 plots available in three different pitch sizes. The options include: Small pitch (5.5m x 4m) - from £55 for off season and £65 during the Summer Medium pitch (7m x 4m) - from £65 for off season and £75 during the Summer Large pitch (8m x 5m) - from £75 for off season and £85 during the Summer Article continues below The prices are based on two people staying per night, and additional fees will apply for extra people. However, the prices remain the same for two adults and two children, so if you are planning a family get away this summer you could pay as little as just £65 a night which is half the price of the average cost for a hotel stay in Portmeirion, which works out as roughly £134 per night. Each pitch is located on a hard surface, perfect for cars, motorhomes or campervans and they all have an e lectric hook-up, TV hook-up and drinking water tap, so you won't be roughing it on your luxurious weekend away. The site also offer facilities including w ash rooms, showers & toilets, wireless broadband, grey water tank, elsan drainage, dish washing facilities, refuse & recycling and picnic areas. ‌ Although, we've saved the best two perks of the camping location for last... Within the price of your pitch rental you gain free access to Portmeirion, and out of hours too! This means it will be less busy and you can explore the wonders of the Welsh Mediterranean village freely and in your own time. This also means you can use the heated outdoor swimming pool on site, however this is only open during peak seasons (April - September), when pitch prices are slightly increased. Usually day tickets to visit Portmeirion cost £20 for adults, £17.50 for concessions, £13 for children 5-15, free for children under five years old, they also do family deals like two adults and two children for £54.

With five-star accolades for both its scenery and seafront, a visitor commented: "The place is superb in every way. It's a beautiful setting with wonderful food and accommodation - perfect for a special occasion. If you're looking for somewhere to take your furry friends, unfortunately you'll have to find a different campsite as the there are no dogs permitted on the motorhome park or the village. However, they do make exemptions for registered guide and assistance dogs. ‌ Alternatively if you're not a keen camper, they also have options to stay in the village in a self catering cottage which sleep between four and six people. However, these jump up quite drastically in price. This option would set you back between £603-£768 during the off peak season, or during the Summer it can reach heights of £1,263. Similar to those who stay at the motorhome, those in the cottages will also enjoy free entry into Portmeirion Village and Gardens and use of the heated outdoor swimming pool.

Before you go it is important to research your destination thoroughly and ensure you have appropriate travel insurance. ‌ Entry requirements This information applies to travellers using a full British citizen passport issued in the UK. Entry rules are established and enforced by Spanish authorities. Spain follows Schengen area rules.

Additionally, your passport must be valid for at least three months beyond your planned departure from the Schengen Area. ‌ The Foreign Office warns: "You will be denied entry if you do not have a valid travel document or try to use a passport that has been reported lost or stolen." At Spanish border control, you may need to show: a return or onward ticket proof of your travel insurance you have enough money for your stay - the amount varies depending on your accommodation a hotel booking confirmation or proof of address if you're staying at your own property an invitation or proof of address if staying with a third party, friends or family, such as a 'carta de invitation' completed by your host. ‌ Safety and security The Foreign Office has issued advice about the risk of potential terrorist attacks in Spain, stating: "Attacks could be indiscriminate, including in places visited by foreign nationals. Stay aware of your surroundings, keep up to date with local media reports and follow the advice of local authorities." Demonstrations, political gatherings or marches may take place suddenly and without much notice, especially in cities. Visitors are advised to consult local police and authorities for guidance.

There are also strict rules on drinking and sexual activity in public places, including on beaches. Local laws may restrict the sale and availability of alcohol in specific areas. Hotels and other venues can evict guests who behave dangerously on balconies, and fines may also apply. ‌ Additionally, in some parts of Spain it's illegal to be in the street wearing only a bikini or swimming shorts. Being bare-chested is also illegal in some locations. The Foreign Office says: "you could be fined if you're caught wearing swimwear on the seafront promenade or adjacent streets." "For security reasons, some public authorities in Spain do not allow the burka or niqab to be worn in their buildings. If you visit town council buildings wearing a burka or niqab, you may be asked to remove it while inside." Extreme weather and natural disasters Extreme weather, particularly in the summer months, can affect different areas of Spain. Wildfires often happen in spain including on the islands. ‌ Flash flooding can cause travel disruption and damage to property and infrastructure. Health Before you jet off to Spain, you should check that the area you are heading to can provide healthcare you may need, as well as making sure you have appropriate travel insurance for local treatment or unexpected medical evacuation. To get medically necessary state healthcare in Spain, you need a Global Health Insurance Card (GHIC) or a European Health Insurance Card (EHIC).
