We have 3 DCs (7, 6 & almost-5). For the last 5 Easters we have gone here. It is lovely, good-quality accommodation, nice area and the people who run it are incredibly welcoming. DH loves it, and is reluctant to go anywhere else in case it's not as nice, and then we'll wish we hadn't 
.
But it's been Five Years...
Also, because we go every Easter, I then spent 6 -7 weeks of summer holidays on my own (DH works away) trying to entertain 3 fractious children.
I cannot take any more of it. I cannot feed another goat. I cannot go to the same beaches in windproofs and wellies and then come back and try to cook, night after night, without even the option of a handy local pub to feed us.
DH has agreed that for summer 2011, we can book a proper summer holiday. Sadly for me, in the intervening 5 years, all our passports have expired and replacing them would add another £300 or so to the cost of the holiday, so 'abroad' is out of the question.
In the interests of saving my sanity (and indeed, saving every goat in the North Devon area), I need concrete suggestions of places elsewhere in the country.
I'll go anywhere really but would prefer not Devon or Cornwall, self-catering but with close proximity to catered options, not a tent or caravan, and ideally plenty for children to do, especially cycling. Assume budget is healthy.
Thank you!
