Any ideas? We are i the North West, don't want to spend a fortune and don't want to travel too far, and stay just one/two nights.

Good luck with that - think you may have left it a bit too late?

How much are you wanting to spend?

Edinburgh?

London?

Lake District?

Durham?

Disneyland Paris?

What type of accommodation do you want? Two hotel rooms or a cottage?

Well yanbu to want to go, but you may struggle finding somewhere. We go away every year for a week at new year with lots of family, about 20 of us, and tend to book in September or October. Last year we got a good discount as we booked late October. You might be lucky and find a cancellation bargain somewhere, Google holiday cottages to let and search through. We have found anywhere by the sea is preferable to inland, and local pubs are a bonus. Dc on our trips age from 6 months all the way upwards.

You need to narrow down 'anywhere' and 'somewhere near'.

I fly long haul several times a year so anywhere in europe is 'somewhere near' in my mind.

New years eve is one of the most expensive nights of the year to book. But you may get a cancellation.

Its a case of see what available.
