Slightly dull looking thanks to it being heavy on grey text and low on pretty pics. But the experts love this site and, contentwise, so did we. No deals available - just great destination reports and unintentionally amusing yet informative message boards: 'I magine some huge mouse or duck descending on you with outstretched arms expecting a joyful welcome.'

The official website of a non-profit making organisation for single people with kids. OPFH has a 27-year history, so it's well versed in helping people who have problems holidaying without a partner. There's little on the site itself bar history details, brochure request fields and some links, but it does open with a fantastic Bontempi organ version of The Beatles's Here Comes The Sun.

A parenting site with a holiday section - and, much like parenting, this fosters a series of links to other helpful information sites including child-friendly holiday firms, campsite lists, travel information and holiday weather. Some of the links have a US slant and the test is a little small, but otherwise a good starting point.
