Asking for the impossible?B&B with good kids pool

Trying to sort out an extended family holiday and want to throw myself into the sea. Priorities are changing by the minute and we have left it quite last minute due to some health issues that my parents needed clearance for.

Top priorities for the gang are:

  • B&B or if not, a choice of board options. (Mum and dad DEF don’t want AI, sister and bro in law wouldn’t mind. B&B a happy medium)
  • Good size pool. Ideally with slides. Just one would do! Our son is ten and all the cousins are girls aged 6 and under so he’s a bit on his own. He loves to swim and would love a slide or two.
  • other children! Not massive resort but a few other kids to mingle with and maybe an evening mini disco for the little ones.
  • walkable to some nice bars and restaurants. Dream would be an old town or something to see / do which isn’t the same four walls of a hotel.
  • no camping. Sis in law will not entertain it
we are looking for mid August. Flying from Leeds or Manchester. Anywhere but anywhere will do! Oh and the million dollar question - bring it in for 4-4.5 grand for a family of 4 ten nights. Am I on a hiding to nothing ?

Try Paphos n Cyprus. Lovely place with all that you mention at different hotels.

I don’t think so. We are all a little spaced out as it is but think that’s too far.
So far we have a great choice in Cyprus, one in Tenerife and a couple in Spain and France.
Thanks for all your help gang.

do you all have to go together? 14 of us went on a fmaily holiday last year but, as we're spread out and have different commitments some flew from Edinburgh on Monday and booked 9 nights, some from Birmingham Tuesday for 6 nights and the rest from Newcastle the Tuesday night and had booked 7 nights, we still had a great time together.
