Poolman off here has a great place just inland from Denia on the Costa Blanca. Sleeps 6, good pool with kids stuff, 15 mins drive from the beach.
Maybe give him a call if you fancy.

Hope that's pool heating...just about still sea swimming here although weathers turning cooler. I will be in Lancaster in Dec Jan if you are free.

If you want to get some riding in as well how about Garda Lake Italy?

Thanks Essel. And Poolman you have a lovely place there. Bookmarked for future reference, but not 2017. Since starting this thread me and Mrs HC have gone off in another direction entirely re next year's hols (why are we dragging the kids to the Mediterranean when they'd be literally just as happy in Scarborough? And we'll buy a tandem with the money we save) 😀

Weirdly, Poolman's villa just appeared in a sponsored post in my Instagram feed. Is that a coincidence?

Ha ha fame at last...HomeAway spend loads on marketing so not surprised. They have to justify their 10% fees. Loving the snow threads it's still warm here, I swam in the sea last week.
