Hi there,

 

Not sure if this is in the right area so feel free to move it...

 

Looking to go away for a night or 2 first weekend in August,,, no more than a couple hours drive away.

Can't really think of anywhere as Blackpool is too noisy etc....It would be nice to see a clean beach and have some good pubs around and restaurants, markets etc...

 

Any ideas would be really appreaciated as i want to go somewhere with a recommendation.

 

Thanks

It doesn't take that long to drive to Whitby, which is gorg' all year round.

I was thinking that but on looking at a few pictures i was'nt sure what kind of place it's like, beaches etc.

Laugh all you want, but I've been going to Skeggy every year since I was 18 months old and I love it! I think I'll be going on the old-dear's coach trips when I get too old to drive

 

Fair play, the clientele has most definately gone downhill since I was a kiddie, but you've still got nice beach, markets, good pubs and a general nice family atmosphere!

 

I took my Boyfriend the other weekend and its dead easy to get there... It's just following three main roads... (Okay, I took the SatNav) .. But trust me, its easy to get to and takes about 2 hours, traffic depending...

 

I sent DonKiddick to the Karema at skeggy and he loved it If you're looking for a romantic weekend, stay at the Sunningdale... Its very olde-worlde and has a four poster suite The breakfast aint as good at the sunningdale, so dont be too upset if you're not up in time for it

What about the lake district?

It's got a nice beach which is quite clean. It's got quite picture- esque docks. There are basically two parts of Whitby; the touristy bit with all the shops, pubs and arcades. It hosts a lot of hen nights but it's not as busy as somewhere like Blackpool. Then there's the older bit which is very nice-old cobbled streets and taverns etc. Also it's quite hilly, if you walk up Robin hoods bay you get a beautiful view from the top. Whitby is good if your looking for a seaside location with a bit of atmosphere and class.

Oh and they do the best fish and chips in the world:P

Whitby sounds quote nice, the taverns etc,,, does that part have a name and i'll have a nosy for some lush b&bs around there.

Bournemouth would fit the bill. Type in Bournemouth in your search and you'll get good info on the tourism bit.
