Summer Holidays

Options
Hi

Just wondering has anyone travelled to England by car/ferry and visited the cotswolds?

I am hoping to plan a week with the children (4 & 3 and 5 mths) and travel around England in the summer.

Any advice would be appreciated.

    England in the Summer is beautiful and the Cotswolds are full of places of interest and villages, and pubs and restaurants... couldn't pick a nicer place to visit.. just come on over and enjoy... I am sure there will be lots of advice as to how to best tackle your trip..

    We used to go to French Camp sites every year when boys were small,hire a mobile home and might I add watch the people in tents and caravan having to trail to wash thier dishes attend to their toiletries needs etc and think to ourselves how can they be bothered? Guess what! we keep home one year and that night were off looking about our own caravan and have been caravanning for past 10 years and even now I know if I said I was going tomorrow I would have 3 boys (21, 19 & 17) saying Count me in mum best holidays we ever had!

    Hi my children ( and grandchildren) travel over to visit us South East, the journey takes between 6-8 hrs from Liverpool and 8-9 from Troon (your planning South West?) and have travelled both Belfast/Liverpool and Larne/Troon . They would rather spend less time on the ferry (2 1/2 hours) to Troon then 12 to Liverpool and say that even with a berth the children get very bored. They drive for about 4hrs (or as long as they can put up with the kids in the back!) then stop at a travel lodge overnight and drive the second half the next day.
    My daughter has recently travelled over with a 4yr old a 1 1/2yr old and a baby 8weeks, her OH much prefers to come Larne/Troon.. or in the summer the Stranraer ferry sails as well(I think?) Our side of England is very easy going and pretty as well if you fancy heading east instead:) Hope this is of some help to you.
    P.S. N.I. is my home and there is no scenery like it:)
