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 !

    • I’m not a Gail’s fan but there’s no reason a business shouldn’t open on Christmas Day. However, nobody should be compelled to work the day which, given the widespread coverage of Gail’s questionable employment practices, has to be a possibility here.  The only business I ever use on the 25th is maybe a pub and that’s a rarity these days but buses running would be very welcome for visiting etc. But the swings in the park should definitely remain chained up. Are parks even open on Christmas Day?
    • To be honest, pal, it's not good being a fan of a local business and then not go there. One on hand, the barber shop literally next door to Romeo Jones started serving coffee. The Crown and Greyhound and Rocca serve coffee. Redemption Coffee opened up not far away, and then also Megan's next door to that. DVillage was serving coffee (but wasn't very popular), as was Au Ciel (which is). Maybe also Heritage Cheese, I don't know. There's also Flotsam and Jetsam doing coffee and sandwiches at Dulwich Picture Gallery in the other direction. The whole of Dulwich Village serves coffee. And yet on the other hand, there are enough punters to support all good coffee shops. With the exception of Rocca and Megan's (which are both big spaces) and C&G (which does coffee like everything else - slow and with bad service), all these places regularly get queues out the door. Gail's often has big queues and yet very few people crossed the street to Romeo Jones (which was much better)... Half the staff at Gail's are perfectly fine and efficient. The other half are pretty offhand and rude. It's certainly not welcoming or friendly service. But they're certainly hard working, and no doubt raking the money in for Luke Johnson...
    • Well according to a newspaper article, Gail’s is opening 10 shops in London,,, yup Dulwich is named 10/5 I seem to recall with others in London opening at 7 am…!, Guess that is to capture workers coming off all night shift. Offering free mince pies until they run out.. So very sad to hear about Romeo Jones… been a customer since the opening, any idea where Patrick has gone or details… please pm me.    What is going to be in its place…. Will be around in Jan…umm village is changing….
    • interesting the police said "the car was in demand at the moment" what make/model is that?
