My ILs are coming from abroad. Normally their visits consist of them sitting around waiting for the kids to get home from school and commenting on Every. Bloody. Thing. I do. To preserve my sanity this time we want to take them away for a few nights. It will be early May bank holiday so a lot of places are booked but there still seem to be things available. ILs are late 60s and very physically fit and active, happy to do long walks/hikes. They like luxurious places and luckily they are paying so cost isn’t a huge factor.
Criteria are:
—Within 2 hr drive of west London (could push this a bit)
—Naice, and not too crowded, area in/near some sort of natural beauty or interest
—Comfortable cottage/airbnb/hotel available within distance of a lovely beach, lake, forest, or other outdoor area that we can explore with our kids (ages 5 and 10)
—Ideally also walkable to a few pubs and shops, maybe even a cute village
—Historical significance would be a plus
Please help! We’ve lived in the U.K. for six years but there’s still a lot we don’t know...
