we're thinking of going away just for one night (either sat / sun or Sun / Mon over a bank holiday) with our 3 children in the next month or so.

Does anyone have any suggestions of anywhere within reasonable driving distance?

We generally prefer self catering but there is usually a minimum of 2 - 3 nights to pay for anything s-c so we may need a hotel instead.

Wuold like to be either in countryside or near the sea (rather than a town / city) and would need to be child friendly. Somewhere with a pool would be ideal.

We're not after childcare but somwhere with or near some child centred activities / playgrounds etc and we generally prefer a laid back vibe rather than anything too formal or fancy!

Much appreciated.

we went here recently

3 mins walk camber beach

The house is an eco house and is COMPLETELY AMAZING/luxurious!! It was snowing when we were there and the house managed to keep a 1 year old and 3 year old happily entertained. Lots of toys and games.


The do long weekends too so would suit your needs.


Camber itself is a bit of a dump but the beach is fab and you have lovely Rye a 10 min drive away


Sorry edited to add realise now you only want 1 night sorry!

We stayed in a lovely hotel in Eastbourne last summer with our then 2 year old.

It's a hotel but rooms have a kitchen so you can prepare your own food.

Really child friendly.

No pool but very close to the beach and other attractions in the area.

Thanks - will check out the suggestions. We have been to butlins before (not Pontins) which the children loved but I was thinking of something a bit more classy this time...

The camber beach house and Eastbourne guest house both look fab - thanks

We just had a brilliant weekend in Broadstairs last weekend. So easy to get to on the train. The beach is amazing! We stayed in a lovely self-catering house for 3 nights, but there were a couple of decent looking hotels. Can't remember the names but am sure they will come up in Trip Adviser.

      T.D. PLUMBFIX SOLUTIONS LTD

      I have had multiple jobs completed at my home by T.D. PLUMBFIX SOLUTIONS LTD, and I wouldn't go to anyone else now. They always come at the agreed day/time, I have never been asked to rearrange. The jobs have always been completed to extremely high standards, and as a perfectionist myself, I appreciate this level of care and detail. I'm grateful of the clear up afterward too, leaving me very little to do after the job is done. I am always blown away by the speed and efficiency  - no waffle, no flannel, just sheer hard work from start to finish. In summary - a highly professional first class service. Don't hesitate to call T.D. PLUMBFIX SOLUTIONS LTD, if you like excellence and trade people that will respect your home.

      Is Rachel Reeves becoming the new Liz Truss?

      Or increase tax.  The freezing of personal allowances is one way, not what I would choose.  On principle I don't care if the rich immigrate.  The main parties could have been more honest before the election.  Reform is deluded.

      Cllr Williams to stand down

      By HeadNun · Posted

      I edited my post because I couldn't be sure we were talking about politicians and I couldn't be bothered to read it all back. But it was off the back of a thread discussing labour councillors, so it went without saying really and I should have left it.  What I said was 'There's something very aggressive about language like that - it's not big and it's not clever. Some of the angry energy that comes from the far left is pretty self-defeating.' (In relation to a labour councillor rather immaturely, in my view, wearing a jumper that read 'fuck the Tories').  But I don't recall saying that "violent rhetoric" is exclusively the domain of the left wing. So I do think you're taking a bit of a bit of leap here.

      You literally just edited your earlier reply to remove the point you made about it being “politicians”.  Then you call me pathetic.    I’m  not trying to say you approve any of the ugly right wing nonsense.  But I AM Saying your earlier post suggesting  violent rhetoric being “left wing” was one-sided and incorrect
