I am all googled out!!!!

I have googled seemingly 1000s of properties in my search for something reasonably priced and located not more than about 4 hours from London in any direction. Only criteria is an indoor pool. Other than it can be in the middle of nowhere and miles from a beach - it matters not. We are 7 people but can probably fit a cottage for 6 as last one is a little child of 3 and a half.

Everything seems to be booked for half term week and if not booked then an absolute fortune.

Thanks if anyone can help.....xxx

Generally they say to include infants over 2 in your no. so will that mean it needs to sleep seven?

Thansjk all.I suppose my idea of a fortune is £1,000 plus.

I have always managed to get last minute deals before although usually on Oct half term and over Xmas breaks which may not be as popular given that May is supposed to be summer and English countryside obviously a lot more popular in Summer than Autumn/Winter so didn't think I'd be leaving it thqat late especially given its officially a recession.

I'll also look at holiday park type accomodation ( but not camping =- not brave enough for that !). Seems to be nothing in any holiday park with a pool at all.
