why not try the Grand hotel in Eastbourne - bracing sea air - special activities for kids - trips to the panto, swimming pool, seafront and pier The Luxury Family Hotel group is good - Ickworth also has apartments. Unfortunately neither are cheap! Slightly cheaper - Lodore Falls Hotel in Borrowadale near Keswick or blow the budget and go Gleneagles - kilts, kids activities and a big bill at the end!!! Good luck And Happy 2007
