10 Days Trip Bath, Cotswolds, and London with a young boy
We are party of three including me, my husband and our three year old son. My husband and I have been to London couple times, but our son really wants to see the Tower Bridge and London Eye for the first time. Since we have two luggage, a car seat and a stroller, we would like to spend at least 2 nights at each hotel in order to minimize hotel hopping. We are able to get a weekly car rental from Hertz with the on-sale rate of 120 GBP.
Here is my tentative itinerary for end of March:
Sunday: Arriving LHR @ 2:00 PM, pick up a car and drive to Bath, overnight at Bath
Monday: Bath city, overnight at Bath
Tuesday: Stonehenge and Salisbury, may be Avebury, overnight at Bath
Wednesday: Driving to Cotswolds in the morning, explore Cotswolds, overnight at Cotswolds
Thursday, Warwick Castle, overnight at Cotswolds
Friday, Drayton Manor Theme Park (my son likes Thomas and Friends ), overnight at Cotswolds
Saturday: Explore more Cotswolds until 4:00 pm, driving to London, overnight London
Sunday: Return the car, Tower Bridge, London Eye, may be a museum suitable for kids, overnight London
Monday: No plan yet, may be some shopping or more museum, overnight London
Tuesday: 10:30 am flight back home
Questions:
1. Are three nights at Bath too much? We want to take advantage of the 3 for 2 hotel deal but worry about not having enough things to do in Bath and surroundings. Can you suggest some town that are good for kid?
2. Are three nights at Cotswolds enough, considering our itinerary includes Warwick and Drayton Manor?
3. Where will be a good base in Cotswolds if we want to go to Warwick and Drayton Manor? We prefer a town that is closer to highway, yet still have the countryside feel.
4. What to do in rainy days in Bath and Cotswolds?
5. Is end of March a good time to visit Cotswolds?
6. We are staying in Hammersmith area in London, is taking a taxi/ Uber the best way to LHR during rush hour with luggage?
I would love to have your feedback. Many thanks!

Hi janisj, thank you for your reply. We just went to San Diego Zoo and Legoland not long ago, so will skip this time. Drayton for the Thomas Land.
Can you let me know why no Uber in London?
