Any Recommendations for a cheap weekend in scotland or north of England ?

[colette]

At short notice w/e beginning Friday 21st. Ds is 4 DD is 8 and we like cycling and coastal walks eating picnics and lovely scenery . We are cheapskates(skint)and are in Glasgow. Centerparcs whinfelld up and probably couldnt afford it
Dh has suggested youth hostelling but I am not sure - did not like the one we stayed at in Scarborough. It was pretty creepy!! but if you can reccommend any you have stayed at I will look at it again.
thanks

Sorry meant centerparcs whinfell booked up

?

sorry have been trying to think, ok what about loch rannoch, there are timeshare lodges ont eh loch that often go really cheap look on their website, or search them on ebay as well, moness country club in aberefldy is quite nice too and do special offers

Auchrannie on Arran is quite good value- certainly better than Centerparcs!

Have a look at the youth hostels again, my parents have stayed in a few and some of them are really nice.

I can ask Dad tomorrow what ones they liked.

How about the one in Tobermory? Is DS still into Balamory?

Thanks for replies, kindersuprise . we ghave thought about Mull , ds is not really into balamory but tobermory looks good. cluelessnchaos and ComradeTamum I will look at the websites for your reccommendations this evening as I have loads of stuff to do before school finishes.
Thanks am looking forward to it
