We want to book log cabin/lodge type accommodation during the October half term week. As there is so much choice, and before I spend umpteen hours searching online, I thought it sensible to ask if anyone has any particularly good recommendations.

We are a family of 4 with 2 boys - ages 10 and 15. We don't want a caravan park but pleasant (4 or 5 star) accommodation with on-site activities to keep the boys occupied: football, indoor swimming pool, pitch & putt and may be a horse riding option for me! For the evenings an on-site pub with entertainment and/or one or two within easy walking distance would be good too.

We don't mind either a beach or inland location within, say, a maximum 3-4 hr drive from Berkshire.

Any recommendations would be very much appreciated, together with any last-minute websites I could check.

Many thanks in advance.
