Looking at having a week or 2 next year somewhere in the UK. We have done Dorset 2 years in a row now so looking at somewhere different, peaceful and packed with features. PRefer nice cottage rather than hotels etc. Anyone got any ideas or places near where they live, as im out of ideas. Oh and its for me, the wife and our 1 year old daughter (will be 2 by time we go away)

Scotland plenty of places out in the countryside but still within a few miles of a town/city.

weve just been for a week in a log cabin in a place called dalavich on the shore of loch awe. about 40 mins from oban. really nice and quiet, we didnt want to go abroad due to having a 7 month old daughter so this was perfect, right in the middle of inverliever forest so loads of walking done

This for example...

http://www.aboutscotland.co.uk/ecosse/eastturret/index.html

My mate lives on this estate, this is right next to his. It's stunning. It's 40 mins from stirling, 25 mins from Perth, 1.20 mins from Dundee and 1 1/2 hours away from Edinburgh/Glasgow

Ahh My boss has just renovated 2 holliday cottages but they are quite near a main road so wouldn't be ideal for a child, could have got you a discount aswell.
