No, I've never thought about it to keep costs down.

Reasons ... I don't like people I like my space for my family (yes, that can mean wandering about in my under wear not worrying about offending anyone) and keeping costs down for me isn't about giving up that space to save £375 on a holiday costing north of £7000

Agree with the above, other than the antisocial bit.

Not for me at all: I'd no more share a condo with another family than I'd share a house with another family here!

I'd rather wait until I had saved the extra £375 to holiday in our own condo.

Put simply, a £375 saving isn't worth the risk of it all going pear shaped, and IMO the OP was exceptionally lucky that it didn't end up being a complete disaster. Plenty of cheap hotels for £375 anyway.
