Where should i go ??

Having a weekend away next weekend friday till monday but cant decide where to go

We have a 3 week old baby and both the wife and i are looking for a holiday cottage or log cabin type place for a long weekend with our new addition

Isle of man ferry is only £180 from liverpool and we can be there in an hour with the ferry being 21/2 hours or do we trek up to the lakes or further to scotland ??? (one for you to answer tim)

Any ideas or reccomendations guys will be appreciated  08MY Range Rover Sport TDV6 Java black with black leather

Rob's probably fully booked, however I'd highly recommend his small B&B in the Lake District

and he does a superb full english!!

thanks Kaine will check it out

Also looked at Paulo's place www.kingussieholidayhome.com and it looks amazing but it is 6 hours drive from my house and with a the wife and a 3 week old it would be a bit much really 08MY Range Rover Sport TDV6 Java black with black leather

Oban and then Mull or Iona are seriously beautiful places too.

IoM, great to gas it over the mountain section of the TT course. Crap for junior of course.

Thanks Paulo will have a look but shame your place is not closer as it looks ideal

Do Fancy the isle of man though as my dad and I used to race there years ago so could take the RRS for a blast around the isle and maybe pay a visit to nigel mansell or norman wisdom who i met when i was younger although his health has declined and apparently he doesnt even recognise himself in his own films anymore the poor bugger 08MY Range Rover Sport TDV6 Java black with black leather

What a choice...

Lake District is beautiful, Scotland is good fun and you can drive fast on Man

In Scotland, what about the East Neuk? I can personally recommend Elie for sure, you'll find it's rather quiet just now (before the summer rush) which may be better, there are hundreds of child friendly things to do (Number 1 - it's on a beautiful beach) and it's just a gorgeous town.

Loads of places to stay, have a look at http://www.elielet.com/main.HTM for accommodation. "CY from DISCO3"

Discovery 3 TDV6 SE
Volvo V70 T5

IOM Ferry can be a sickening start to a long weekend

Scotland is a long way to drive and often shut when you get there

Lake District is close, fabulous and fun at all times of the year, what ever the weather.

Can recommend Paulo's route, some fantastic roads - with relatively light traffic Ardmamuchan Peninsular is also a beautiful place to go, and one road you must drive is the west side of Loch Lomond/ Arrochar, Inverary (dropping in at Loch Fyne Oysters, THE place to stay is the Crinan Hotel on the NW end of the canal, then Oban, Mallaig, back to Fort William, coming south through Glencoe, but turn off to on a "there and back" single track road to the end of Loch Etive. Come back to the road through Glencoe and follow it via Tyndrum, Crianlarrich/Callander/ Stirling and back onto motorways to drive south. Do it now before the midges come out of hibernationat the end of May A Carbon Footprint is the mark a lump of coal makes when it's dropped on the ground.

Staying - Epsom Green Defender 90 for playing off road

Ah, Oban... this is where my Mum's family comes from. Part of the mad Cameron clan

I take it needs to be more local than Cornwall, Anthony? 

Was hoping so S but paulo's place is 337 mile from my place so cornwall wouldnt be much different really

The distance might be a bit of a pain with a 4 week old baby though 08MY Range Rover Sport TDV6 Java black with black leather

I drove too and from Cornwall with a 6-week old and it wasn't fun (took about 8 hours I seem to remember, where it would normally take between 3.5-4hrs!) so I understand your cautiousness

Speak to these chaps, if you decide it's not too far
