the holiday flat has a hd tv so i am all so taking a spare hdmi cable with me as well.

Assuming your accommodation has a decent Internet connection, you could get yourself a slingbox. Looking at £150 spend though.

Other than that, if you're staying in the UK you could use a combination of Sky Go and all the free catch-up services. It won't let you watch what's on your home box, but it will let you watch quite a bit of content that's been on while you are away without spending anything.
