taking elderly but active parents on holiday in Britain.. Luxury hotel needed!

[BrendaandEddie]

Hi
mum is post cancer op but active and Dad uses sticks to walk. Mum wants a nice UK break in October - she was thinking Cornwall, but I think might be hilly

They need things to look at or do in the day

Can anyone help?

bumperama for the weirdest request

Where are you in the uk?

south. But I am offering to drive them anywhere, largely as Mum wont get insurance to go abroad

what I am trying to say is they want a hotel but with things to do, not just sitting around.

I wondered about Padstow

It depends on what they want to do in the day. Hotel Tresanton is fabulous but has steps to get to some rooms. They can organise fishing and boat trips and its a short ferry to Falmouth, which is nice. It's expensive but very luxurious in a beachy way. Great views.

What about the Isle of Wight - some beautiful walks and scenery there

thanks WWW

they normally like a city break so Something to do is good.

Have you looked at Rudding Park? They make you feel really special and Harrogate is only a few minutes away. You can also drive out to Nidderdale and explore the Yorkshire Dales.

isle of wight is a bit near. ALl there is there is Osbourne. I think

Yorkshire could work

thanks!

thank you everyone

Padstow sounds good although I don't know it

What do they like? Art? Statelies?

Bath? If they like shopping and art and beautiful buildings.

History, culture, theatre etc

Or Cambrige? Lots to see and do, they could get the bus to the Imperial War museum at Duxford (which is amazing) and the train to visit Ely. Plus you could spend days exploring the city. Cant recommend any hotels as I lived there so never stopped in any

Cardiff? Some nice hotels (the Angel is ok) good shops, the castle, cardiff museum, Cardiff bay, tour of the stadium.

Bath or Bristol are both good for theatre, history, culture.

Bath too close WWW.. otherwise great

ooh Cardiff I dont know if they have been there, are SO well travelled, They even did Belfast last year

I've styled in hotel du vin in Cambridge and bristol, liked both.

Cambridge has The Fitz

I will have to establish how important a rural location is.

Pembrokeshire?

Dartmouth?
