It's very rare that we get away but my mum has a big birthday approaching and I'm trying to book a long weekend away. We have primary age dc and a baby as well as parents and me and dh. Looking at a cottage/air b&b somewhere like Derbyshire, Peaks, maybe Whitby/Scarborough. Would love the Lake District but it's over 3 hours from us and will be too far with the little ones.
Would like somewhere with some nice scenery, a few quaint shops and pubs, maybe a nice tourist attraction or something like chatsworth house. But other than that I'm stumped. If anyone has any glowing recommendations for nice areas that would suit a family please throw them at me. I'm struggling and trying to keep everyone happy.
