Short Break with Baby

4 replies

DP and I are thinking of taking a short break (2/3 nights) somewhere in the UK in September before I go back to work after maternity leave. Baby will be 9/10 months. We're in Wiltshire and not wanting to travel more than probably 4 hours by car. Baby doesn't have a passport yet but could fly domestically without one, depending on airline, I think?

We like walking (but probably not hiking up mountains), animals and really just want a relaxing mini break (as relaxing as travel with a small child ever is!). We went to the Isle of Wight in May.

Any recommendations for places that might suit us, with nice things for us all to do?

Fowey Hall in Cornwall or The Ickworth in Suffolk

Both great hotels with babies.

The north Cotswolds - around Moreton in Marsh, Chipping Norton and Bourton on the Water. Lots of lovely walks, cute pubs, Adam Henson’s farm, Blenheim Palace, Birdland, a model village etc… Stratford Upon Avon is easily doable as a day trip.

North Wales
Plenty of flatter walks and places to see Aber falls is an easy walk with spectacular views, the path is Buggie and Disability scooter friendly.
Dyserth is a short climb then leisurely walk through the woods back to the car park.
Pistyl Rhader is currently very expensive to park so personally unless you really want to see it the other two are better.
