Hi all,
I have two children and I’m a carer for my parents who both have dementia. I’m stressed and exhausted.
For my 40th DH has offered to take me away somewhere. We’ll get carers in for my parents and the in laws will look after DC.
Honestly, I can’t remember the last time I had a moment to myself and all I want is to go somewhere where I can switch off and be alone.
We can’t go far as I wouldn’t want to leave my parents and DC for too long. Probably 3 nights.
In my mind, I’m picturing a cabin perched on the edge of a lake surrounded by mountains and trees in Norway somewhere. Or a lone house on a remote Scottish island by the sea. The kind of place where an eccentric writer might disappear to for months to overcome writer’s block and create a masterpiece.
In reality, it would ideally be somewhere with wifi to keep DH entertained so he leaves me in peace while I curl up with a book 😂.
The main criteria is somewhere with scenic views from the windows and somewhere I can step outside for walks without ever having to see another soul.
Does a place like this exist (reachable from Manchester)? I’ve spent ages trawling through Airbnb but just get cabins with hot tubs in a holiday park (I’m exaggerating but not far off) and don’t know where else to look. We don’t mind a longish drive (within 8 hours say).
Thanks in advance!
