Thanks ams. The mystery has been solved. Since 2004 I have been sent estimates (although it did not say on the bills) and this year they read the meter. Since January I have only used 1 cu.m. so no leak. At least I now know where the meter is!
Thanks to all those who tried to help,

That still seems a mighty lot of water for 12-14 weeks PA, let's put to put it another way:
13 weeks x 4 years = 52 weeks
860cu/m /52 = 16.5cu/m per week
16.5cu/m / 7 = 2.36cu/m per day of occupancy
Begin to get my point ?
Not according to the original post:

As for holiday renters, apart from the fact that we don't know if this is holiday let, (and reading between the lines I don't think it is), at an average of say even 50lt a pop, a family of 6 showering three times a day would use 900lt which still leaves some 1400lt of the apparent daily consumption unaccounted for
Incidentally I think poolguy will tell you that, except under dire or exceptionel circumstances, there should never be any need to drain and refill a pool
