Help me find a holiday for Mum pleeeeease!

[JeremyJordanseyebrows]

Hi,

I'm trying to find a bucket list holiday for my mum who will be 80 this year. She asked that her ashes be scattered in Scotland (she's not dying, as far as I know - just macabre 🙄) so instead I thought I'd try to take her in her reasonably un-dead form.

I've been Googling for a few weeks and completely overwhelmed as I want to get this right!

Wish list :

Scotland (obvs).
Drivable from Manchester.
Hotel - she definitely wants to eat in a restaurant, not self catering.
Option for day trips - mobility is an issue as she's recovering from a hip replacement after falling over.
Needs to be reasonably naice - I believe holidays should be nicer than your own house but not £££££.
Maybe entertainment - I'm not the most riveting company!!
w/c 25th September, maybe 3-4 days.

Is that too much on the wish list?

Please help me, oh wonderful Vipers - im feeling the pressure!!

Thanks in advance

My home region takes a bit of beating. Dumfries and Galloway has it all and no need to drive further.

Another vote for Arran - Douglas hotel is lovely and Broddick castle is well worth a look round, plus Arran cheese and Arran aromatics. Crief hydro is lovely too, restaurants on site, though very family friendly so plenty of kids if that's not quite what you're after and Crief itself has some steep hills
