Looking to head over for some relaxation and luxury at the start of half term with my wife and 6 year old. We love mountains, walking and the beach and forests.
Anyone got any good recommendations?
Wouldn't have thought you'd do much better than [url= http://www.portmeirion-village.com/content.php?nID=23;lID=1 ]The Hotel Portmeirion[/url] for a location.
And you could re-enact your* favourite scenes from The Prisoner while you're there.

Not a hotel, but I've wanted for a long time to stay here- [url= http://www.campbellscottage.co.uk/index.html ]Campbell's Cottage[/url], sounds lovely, but the private railway platform is the icing on the cake. 🙂
+1 on Portmerion.
Plsu as a hotel guest, you get the run of the place after all the tourists have gone home - the estuary is stunning, there's great walks straight out the front door and the food's nice too.
Maesmor hall is lovely, google wolsey lodges
have a soft spot for Portmeirion, if you were to take the bike and get up very early and go up the road behind the hotel you could get in a short but spectacularly varied route via the Japanese garden, the dog cemetery, the ghost garden, the rockery and then back along the coast edge (*some carrying reqd).
also go to Barmouth, take bikes and do http://www.cyclingnorthwales.co.uk/pages/maw_c_ph.htm
(*or do train along the coast)
