Check the Poole to Santander ferry price with LD Lines.
I returned after my Christmas trip via Le Havre to Portsmouth because the ferries from Northern Spain kept getting cancelled due to the weather and I could not wait any longer.
Driving across France was hassle free except the confusing toll booths but expensive maybe around 100 Euros.
Driving across Spain is really easy, quiet dual carriageways nearly the whole way and only one toll road at ~ 8 Euro if you go from Santander via Salamanca, Seville to Algeciras and can be done in one long day if you're inclined.
I think when you work it all out, UK to Spain is the best option and even more so in a 25 ish mpg 4x4.
