Hi - we are a family of 4 travelling to York, Edinburgh, the Lake or Peaks area, Cotswold, Bath, and London and are looking for places to stay that have a 2 bedroom suite type of accomodation - either apartments, cottages, etc. Would love to hear any suggestions. Thank you

Fantastic resource! Thank you very much for the response.

You don't mention how many rooms you'll need, but, one of the best pieces of advice I ever got from this website (last year, year before??) was that the advantage of a cottage over a hotel or B&B was that you had a living room available. When we went to England last year (my parents, my husband & I), we frequently spent the evening figuring out where to go the next day. In both the hotel and the B&B we stayed at we ended up just sitting around on the beds - not the most comfortable. At the cottage we stayed in, we had a real living room to relax in. We didn't necessarily need the kitchen that came with the cottage, although we did use it for breakfasts and one dinner.

We stayed at a cottage at Grey Mill Farm (www.greymillfarm.com) which I can recommend as a nice place. It's nicely located near Stratford.

I know you said apartment or cottages but I stayed at the Langdale in the Lake District (we had adjoining rooms) and it was definitely one of the most memorable trips I have taken with my children. The hotel has a pool, but still manages to feel rustic and secluded in the most beautiful place in England. www.langdale.co.uk
