Short Break in the UK

Just returned from a great short break holiday in the UK.

Did the usual stuff in London and Edinburgh but I really would advise
eveyone to go up to the Scottish Highlands if you get a chance. It really
is beautiful up there. Although I think the next time I go it will be
during the summer.

It was really cold when I went. Had a few problems getting last minute
accommodation while I was in London. Eventually, got through a company
called www.superbreak.com. Has anyone else used them before?

I have to say I think your lying to us.

No he's not. Scotland really is a nice place to go to.

Would recommmend going to the Isle of Skye or Oban, they are both great
places to go. Only thing with Skye in the summer is the midgies, but
they have some great hotels and B & B's.

We visit Oban every couple of years. We have two children under five
and there are some great things for them to keep them entertained.

Try it.

Following up to Robin-Travel-Tips

the way to do it is join in with your web business as a sig file.

Not peak season? Ok you try getting a last minute double room in London
for Valentines weekend!

As for Mr. Hewitt, I would have put superbreak.com as a hyperlink if I was
spamming?

Friendly forum!

Have never been to London before, would you recommend it for a family
with two small children.

Also, where are the best places to visit.

how small?

But yes.

Also, where are the best places to visit.

Tower of London, Tussauds, the Zoo, changing of the Guard,
climb the Monument, London Eye, Science Museum etc....
what sort of thing do you normally take your kids to?

I have been there twice.

Sure..it depends on the age of your children.

If they have read any history or been to see a Harry Potter movie it maybe
interesting. I took my kids to Boston when they were 8 and 10 thinking it
would be a fabulous adventure, Tea Party and such. Well it was a bust.

I would go and set my expectations low..

London has lots of stuff...I think if you look at a guide book and just see
it will be great. I would position the hotel near an Underground
station..makes for easier getting around.

good luck..

The science museum has several different activities aimed at different
ages of children from toddlers upwards. All three South Kensington
museums - science, natural history, and V & A - have a lot of
provision for children. However the best thing that the V & A does
for children is probably the museum of childhood at Bethnal Green;
apart from a great selection of artefacts there are activities such as
storytelling and a soft play area for the under 5s. Look at
