can anyone recomend anywhere?

I went to Devon last year and while people were dying from the heat in Derbys, where I’m from, I was stuck in the middle of nowhere in a week of thunderstorms!

i would prefere a seaside destination, or atleast close enough to go to the beach to show my little boy the sand for the fiorst time!

    I know of a little retreat in the Isle of White, Kite Hill Farm, in Wooton. (Close to Ryde) This is absolutely fabulous as there is no club house, bar etc, so you have very few idiots. Everything you need is on site, i.e. Toilets/Showers and a Laundry Room with Driers. There is a small adventure playground for kids but nothing too much. Last year we paid around £6 per head per night, and had a great time walking everywhere (we don't drive). It is close enough to Ryde to walk with a lovely family pub at Fishbourne next to the car ferry port, that does some excellent home cooked food. The beach in Ryde is bloody massive too. You can also get a Day Rover and tour the island by bus, catching some breath taking views of Needle Point is simply a must. Yarmouth is a beautiful little village well worth the trip. There is plenty to do on the island itself, but the museums over in Portsmouth/Gosport are pretty cool too. We did the Submarine Museum and it was quite interesting. Avoid bank holiday weekends as Mods on their hairdriers quickly desend on to the place and it quickly begins to look and sound like a Bee Hive. We still had a great weekend, just very little sleep. If you drive then this is a great place to come, even if you don't it is still accessible as the buses are quite well run. There is a small cafe buried in some backstreet of Ryde, which is a proper traditional British Cafe (Greasy Spoon) that serves some awesome breakfasts, get to Marymead Close on the East side of Ryde. Anyway Isle of Wight highly recommended.
