Open to suggestions on location.

Needs at least 2 bedrooms (me, wife, + 2 year old)

Would like to have a lawned garden.
Nearby sandy beach..ideally walking distance.
'Stuff' to do for a toddler would be a bonus.

The Well (Cottage) has a lovely lawned garden – going back again at Easter 🙂

looks nice…although I said I was open to suggestions I have now been told that 5 hours+ of driving is out of the question 🙁

So 3 hours of driving…I'm going to be limited to North Wales, North Yorks, Linconshire and southern Scotland…could 'accidently' end up in the 7 stanes region !

Loads here on the North Yorkshire coast.

Hell both the houses right next door to me are Holiday Cottages, and 7 over the road are.

The nearest sandy beach would be Runswick Bay, there are cottages available there for holiday lets. Also try Sandsend near Whitby which has a lot of cottages available.

Biking wise theres the Moors, Guisborough Woods and Dalby all within 1hr

luce bay caravan park.

quiet, sandy beach across the way and on the doorstep of kirroughtree

St Cyrus – can't recall the name of the place but we got a 3 bedroomed cottage right on the cliff edge overlooking an amazing beach – path down to beach right at cottage.

The cottage was split into 2, so you hvae a single roomed cottage on one end and the other 2 were combined into a larger single unit – the 3 cottages were all joined i.e. 1 building.

Amazing place…spent a long weekend there a few years back with some mates…the beach was superb…but I didn't booked it so can't recall it's name…

The link on GoogleMaps isn't bad but doesn't give any names – http://maps.google.co.uk/?ie=UTF8&ll=56.774551,-2.398968&spn=0.010946,0.026071&t=h&z=16 – that should show the 3 cottages in the centre of the map., the grass between the cottages and the beach is cliff…

Stayed here a number of times http://www.castellmarch.co.uk/ great place.
