Please? Driving myself mad looking.

October half term but we are the week before most of the half terms
Dog friendly
Indoor pool, ideally with a slide
Entertainment still running in the evenings
Bar / restaurant on site
Near a beach but not essential
3 hours or less from SE London

Not:
Isle of Wight
Dorset
Sussex
Kent

Not because we don't like them but have done them all to death! Just looking for a change of scenery, somewhere nice to walk the dogs and bike rides for the kids.

Thank you!

Hobourne Devon bay or Beverley park Goodrington
Hobourne has the better indoor pool (we think)

We used to do Hobourne when the kids were holidaying with us. We did Dorset and New forest so you probably won't want that but we loved their campsites

Croyde Bay in Devon. Gorgeous beach. Lovely indoor pool (but no slide), lots of entertainment for kids and adults in the evening. They have cottages where you can take dogs. There is lots to do on site. We had a couple of great holidays there when out ds was 9 and 10.

Also 2 bars/restaurants on site. Just check re activities and entertainment as you say your ht is earlier than most.

Fully recommend Croyde Buy. Google Croyde Bay Unison - it's nothing political!

Kelling Heath - North Norfolk - it’s great for cycling . The pool is a part of a health club complex . Try private owners on caravan hire sites. Don’t be put off by any chintzy caravans / they will be well maintained . These tend to have more availability Loads to do in the area . Some low-key entertainment at weekends - some nature based activities for younger kids Leics breaks up earlier too so it’s not dead . It’s lovely and a bit “ naice” - not kiss me quick . It has a Center parcs vibe without crowds or rip off prices .

Hoburne Bashley in the New Forest but also close to beaches, Hurst Castle etc.

Thank you all! Off to have a look. Bonus is they don't seem to have cottoned on to the fact that a lot of school are now
On two week half term in October. I've been getting 4 night quotes under £200 compared to £500 the next week.

Having been married to a teacher since forever I'm pleased:)

Happy Holidays - wherever you choose!

I don’t think it has entertainment but Finlake in Devon is lovely. Has a lovely pool with slides

Warmwell in Dorset... has a dry ski slope which is fantastic and lessons and ski sessions very reasonably priced.
