AMAZING LOCATION

great house

What part of the country?

Oh, you've said anywhere in the title. Doh.

Yup - anywhere - mid november..

dorset, right on the coast, amazing beach private to people that live on the estate....awesome. next door to lyme regis. will be lovely off season.

listedluxury looks lovely lovely

niche retreats in cornwall

classic cottages are good

the ONLY downer, was that there were a couple of crucial things missing: LIKE A FUCKING CHOPPING BOARD!!!

so we bought one. and now there is one.

beautifully done out.

great place.

private beach (a scramble down a pretty precarious path with a bit of string to hold on to but we made it with ds who's 3 no problem).

highly recommended.

EXPENSIVE.

Which one did you take? The Hayloft? A precarious path with ds (2 but thinks he's invincible) and dd (3) would certainly add spice to the short break!

ohh I went to a fab place in wales with hot tub etc....will find link

OOh that sounds lovely. Niche retreats look great too, especially the niche chef - presumably he must be pretty small to fit into a niche..

If you want to try the West Country Rural Retreats are good.

Northumberland Coastal Retreats

The lady who runs it is fab and cottages are set up for children.

this is a review I did on it from a parents perspective

Another good West Country one is Toad Hall Cottages

Just returned from a very disappointing Rural Retreats property (earlier thread

Nemo - they look wonderful places, thank you.

Oh dear Clayhead were you the mouldy rural retreats cottage thread? Poor you..

Sorry I missed that thread. Ignore Rural Retreats then! The brochure always look so nice (can't remember if we have ever used them tbh) but if the people running it don't care then avoid them.

We have had a couple of lovely properties in East Devon through Sweetcombe Cottages.

Yes, the brochure does look lovely! Unfortunately the reality was different in our case.

mood you should look at the babyfriendlyboltholes website if tan y bryn is even a slight indication of their standards you wont go wrong.

Clayhead those northumberland cottages look great.

we had buttercup barn.

it really is precarious....but if you can carry them through the hairy bits it is fine (ds actually walked it all, but hey, he is spiderman).
