Ok I know I'm planning very far in advance but I need a holiday to look forward to! We will have two boys, both just shy of 4 & 2 respectively. We want a pool with a beach close by and a nice relaxed environment. Short haul better for us, where would you recommend, where have you been to recently?

Great thanks, that sounds great - anybody else with other options?


Anybody just come back from a brilliant holiday?


We went to Azur hotel in Cirali, Turkey in June and I would 100% recommend it, the entire area was extremely child friendly, great pool & beach 5 mins - both husband and son want to go back but I think there must be other places similar - please give me some inspiration though!!

We went to Insotel Punta Prima (the Prestige section) in Menorca via Sovereign in June of this year with a 4 year old and 1 year old.


Perfect weather, large apartment style rooms but with half board (food was excellent)....Prestige section has its own pool including a small kids part (so all the under 4s played together). 5 mins walk to the beach with a few restaurants - 2 ish hour flight with 30 mins transfer.


We had a great relaxing time. It's linked to a much bigger hotel but the Prestige section is worth paying the extra

Just come back from Almyrida, Western Crete (40 mins from Chania). Absolutely stunning area. Great for families, relatively quiet and only lightly developed. We got a villa 700m from beach which was a good distance for us (older children who can easily walk that distance). Beach was perfect for young children. Tourists were a mix of Danish, Swedish, Norwegian, French and Greek with a smaller number of British than many other resorts but all shops and tavernas spoke excellent English. Would highly recommend it.
How funny Indiana, we were at the Insotel Punta Prima in Menorca in June as well ! We have a 3 year-old and a 1 year/old and we had a great time. We also went last year and had a great time too. We were in the main part of the resort and it was absolutely fine. Our eldest loved spending time at the kids' club, the staff were just amazing. We are hoping to go back there next June before our daughter starts school !

    • According to what I can see online, Dynamic Vines and Cave de Bruno sell totally different kinds of wine to each other.  Dynamic Vines  "work with independent winemakers who produce outstanding wine using sustainable practices in the vineyard and minimal intervention in the cellar".  Cave de Bruno specialises in French wines and spirits from small independent producers. So two different USPs, and no doubt two different but overlapping customer bases who can afford these wines. Probably different again to the people mainly  shopping for wine at Majestic or the Co op. On the other hand, the two empanada shops appear on the face of it to be selling virtually identical products. But time will tell, won't it? Let's see how they are both doing in - say - a couple of years' time. Impossible, of course, to compare that with how they would have done if there had been only one of them. I just feel more  sorry for the original one than for  the one which can apparently already afford to have a number of shops in places like Mayfair and Highgate. I'm tempted to buy something there every week, and I don't even like that kind of pastry 🤣
    • Not only can he turn olive oil into Vermouth, but also water into a wine. A true miracle worker.  I wouldn't say a wine shop sells a wide variety of things - and there are two right next to each other.  And once upon a time, upmarket pizza shops were very specific. So were burritos etc. These Argentinian cornish pasties are clearly becoming mainstream; we should consider ourselves lucky to be witnessing this exciting upward trend within our lifetimes and on OUR HIGH STREET. We can tell our grandkids that we remember when there was no internet and no empanadas.  I'm sure that if the family empanada people have a good business head, they'll be able to ride this wave of competition, just like Bruno has. 
    • Very economical. Are you available for events? I've got a gathering of 5000 coming up soon. What could you knock up with two little fishes and five loaves of bread? Cod in breadcrumbs? Fish finger sandwiches? Spanish-style croquetas de bacalao with a Romesco sauce? It's BYOB for beer, so there's no need to worry about that and I've managed to do an unbelievable deal on water and wine. Drop me a DM on here or ask for Dave or Jesus (pronounced 'Hay-Zooze') in The Herne, left hand side of the bar.
