40th birthday holiday help needed

off-that-internet!

hi
looking for somewhere a bit different to go next year for my 40th birthday - me and the husband and 2 kids. probably not abroad, as I dont like it too hot - so probably somewhere in this country would be best but I'm open to ideas. it has to be fairly child-friendly though and we'd have a budget of about £1000. dont mind caravan, self-catering, b&b or hotel, just so long as it's a bit special. would also prefer somewhere to go for a drink at night, so not too quiet, and somewhere near to some attractions or nice beaches. I need some inspiration and would be grateful to hear of any suggestions.
many thanks

When do you want to go, what sort of holiday things don't you like?

it will be july - unfortunately, price-wise, school holiday time.
and we're up for anything (within reason!)

How about staying in a caravan at flamingo land, North York Moors. I've been there many times with my kids, even as teenagers they still enjoy it. There's a great theme park and zoo as well as shows running all day. At night there is entertainment for all the family in a few bars and clubs and a nice adults only pub where you and hubby can seek sanctuary lol (depending on the age of your kids of course) Here's a link if you would like to take a look http://www.flamingoland.co.uk/planvisit.htm. Good luck finding somewhere special for you and your family on your 40th

Hollywell bay near Newquay is Fab. Super beach. Club on caravan site with entertainment.

The Isle of Wight is lovely. Loads to see and do and weather is among the best in UK.

Agree with Isle of Wight.

We also like Kelling Heath in Norfolk. http://www.kellingheath.co.uk/
